Good morning beautiful Topsy. I could not go into town today little girl, as I have an awful headache, and it is very hot… how I managed to keep doing what I was doing when I had that terrible headache, I do not know. Yesterday afternoon was not as wild and mad as I had expected it to be, but even so, there was a flock of savage old trollops growling and gnashing out there at the smelly old swamp, and that ‘oh oohing’ lunatic was at the centre of it all. It was also very hot, but I could not turn the newish, not so scary old fan on, as it would have cost about £50 an hour. The electrickery bill is high enough as it is with something yanking on the lights in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom whenever it wants, and having the lights in the hallway blazing away even when the sun is out. It is alright for that bucktoothed coo, it does not have to pay any bills, it just swills down as much drink and gobbles down as much food as it can. I was so hungry by last evening, I had to have noodles again, and by the time that I had to get out of the way with Molly last night, I felt awful. I can remember getting into bed last night, but not much after that, just that I had an awful night, and was awake early again this morning… I had hoped that I would oversleep by at least half an hour, but no. Molly came across the bed as I crawled out, but not to greet me, she wanted to get settled down. George was crying at the garden doors when I got down there, and came running in when I opened the garden doors… there was no sign of poor Percy anywhere. I went out there and called him, but he did not come along for what felt like ages, then he arrived, and I fed them both. I let George out with ham when she had finished, gave Percy his usual, then got out of the way. I had not been sat down long when I heard a certain lunatic, burbling away over there at the swamp. Thankfully, it did not stay long, and when I went back down there to make the coffee, something was already waiting for me to get out of its way. I got back up here as quickly as I could, but it is not going to be very happy when I am allowed down there just before midday… the snorting and the trumpeting will be awful, but nuts to it. I love you Topsy, and I miss you too little girl. XxX
