Good morning beautiful Topsy. Yesterday was a bit better than it has been little girl, but I still felt uncomfortable going into the room where my poor Mum was, and I only went in there twice. I cannot remember much about yesterday, the swamp dogs were barking, but I do not remember how much, but if a squirrel had coughed, a bumblebee had burped, or a sparrow had sneezed, they were probably barking for all their worth. I felt awful, and was coughing and spluttering like anything, and I thought that I would have been better by now, but no, I am still ill. I suppose putting blue cheese in my soup is not helping, but I was terribly hungry last evening, I will not be doing that today. After midday, I only went downstairs about five times, and each time I did that, something was waiting for me to get out the way, and when I brought Molly up here last night, I was so tired, I got into bed. I soon fell asleep, but as usual, I was soon awake again, and again, and again. I woke up this morning on time for a change, but did not want to get up, though I did, as Percy and George were waiting to be fed. When I got down there to the kitchen, I got their food ready, and George was already howling at the garden doors. I had given George the ham that Percy had left yesterday with two packets of food on top, and she still finished when Percy did. I let George out with a big lump of ham, gave Percy ham and salmon, then got back up here out the way before I was flattened by something large and heavy. I thought that poor Percy would want to go out when I went back down there to make the coffee, but he just wanted some more food, which I gave him just before I came back up here. I had to be quick though, as of course, something was waiting for me to get out of the way. I have to go into town for more gobbling’s again tomorrow little girl, so I will not be able to come on here to Charlie and you, but I shall hopefully be back on here the day after. I love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful, brave little girl. XXXXX
