Good morning beautiful Topsy. Poor Percy had been shoved out for ages by the time I got down there to the kitchen just before midday the day before yesterday, the nasty old scary wind was blowing around out there, but I cannot remember if I looked out there for poor Percy. At least I did not have to get out of the way as soon as I got down there… though something was waiting for me to do so when I got down there in the late afternoon. George was crying at the garden doors, and when I opened them, she ran in with poor Percy. Of course, I did not have the time to feed them, as I was on a countdown, so I let them out with a big lump of ham… I had just enough time to get a drink ready for the evening, then back up here I had to get. I had to make do with another bowl of noodles in the evening, and even then I had to hurry, as I had to get out of the way as quickly as I could. At least I was able to go into town yesterday, even though it was much later than usual when I left here, and amongst other things, I bought my poor Mum eight chicken snd vegetable pies. I hid them in the freezer when I got back, but they were found, grabbed, and six of them were cooked and gobbled down with a whole bag of chips. I managed to get myself ten lots of noodles, and I am surprised that they have not been grabbed, cooked and shovelled down yet. That evil old ogre was always helping itself to my food, if he was not doing that, he was muttering about me stuffing my face when he could have had what I was eating… and that was with me eating just once a day, he even begrudged me of that. I bought a great big box of catfood for Percy and George, and some kitten food for Molly, as she has brought up her usual food three times this week. I gave her chicken last night, and she seems to like it. I had my usual bowl of noodles last evening, got out of the way with Molly last night, then got into bed. I do not know what kind of night that I had, but I was awake early this morning, and got up to feed Percy and George. The wind was blowing around the gardens when I let them in… I gave them two packets of food each, let George out with a big lump of ham when she had finished, gave Percy his usual, then got out of the way again. I had to get out of the way quickly when I went back down to make the coffee, but managed to give Percy another packet of food, and get some biscuits for myself before I did. The nasty old scary wind is getting worse, and if he has not been shoved out already, I am dreading having to do so when I am allowed down there in just over an hour. I am going to ask if he can stay in for a bit longer, but I doubt that he will be allowed to do so. I am glad that I went out yesterday though, had I gone out today, anything could have happened in this wind… something could have gotten its dearest wish to come true. I was always being told to ‘do us all a favour, and go and play in the road’ when I was a kid. I love you so much Topsy, and I miss you so much too. XxX
