Good morning beautiful Topsy. Poor George was crying and crying out there yesterday morning, and something was in the kitchen, gobbling and shovelling before huge breakfasts were cooked and served up, but it could not be bothered to feed her. George had to wait until I was allowed down just before midday, and I let her in, gave her what poor Percy had left, then I let her out with a big lump of ham. Of course, something was waiting for me to get out the way. I had just enough time to make my poor Mum her coffee, then up here I had to get. It was not long after I had got up here, when George was crying again, but it was hours before I would be allowed down there again. There was a lot of wind and rain in the afternoon, but I still did not want to risk going down there to check on Percy and George, or I could have been barged out of the way or trampled on in the hallway. When I did get down there, I had to get out the way again. I had hoped that I would be allowed to get some soup ready, but no, I had just enough time to get a drink ready, then up here I had to get. I just had to make do with noodles again last evening, and even then, I had to be quick, and get out of the way. I was not very happy at all, and I think that is why I had another uncomfortable night, five nights in a row, and I was awake early again this morning… at least Percy and George had a good feed. I let George out with ham when she had finished, gave poor Percy his usual, then got out of the way. In the little time that I was allowed down there in the kitchen to make coffee, I gave Percy another packet of food before I had to get out of the way… I was able to get myself a few biscuits as well, lucky me. Molly has been running around here snorting and wowing loudly, and has just cried at me. I thought she wanted something, and stood up. She did want something, she wanted my chair, and was knitting away before I had even stood up properly. When I get another chair in here, she can have it, but until then, she will have to make do with her nests, though I will most probably be pushed out of there as well. 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
