Beautiful Topsy. I am sorry about forgetting to come on here again little girl, I only walked thirty miles in three days, but yesterday I was so tired, I did not know what I was doing… I just about remembered to come on here to Charlie when I got home. I was walking much further last month, well six days before last month anyway, as I walked over eighty miles in six days… I was not getting much sleep then either. I have not seen Thomas for a few days, but as I left here to go into town, she came running to me. I had been waiting for the rubbish blokes to come since I put the bin out early this morning, but they did not come along until three hours before midday… I had given up, and was just about to go into town when they came along. When I had brought the bin round, and was just about to leave, that is when Thomas came running. I gave her a packet of food, then left, little knowing that something was already waiting for me to get out of their way so that they could go shopping. It was terribly hot, I had put a shirt on, but was still roasting, and got almost everything… I could not get my favourite biscuits, and I forgot to buy myself a loaf of bread. I only realised that when I was almost home, then when I got in, I found out that I was already in the way before I had even stepped into the house. Something was stuck there, big coat and scarf on, waiting for me to get out of the way… I could not believe it little girl, it was just like with the evil old ogre, but not so hairy. "I am waiting for you to get out of my way" was the words bellowed at me one day when I came in, he had all that time while I was out to go out, but no, he waited for me to get back before doing so. I had to stay here today little girl, what with the rubbish and cardboard blokes coming, as nobody else would bring the bins in, and I had to get shopping too. I will be back to see my poor Mum tomorrow, and she should hopefully be coming home next… fingers crossed. I am going to have to go back into town now little girl, but at least I have remembered to come on here to Charlie and you. 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. XxX
