Good morning beautiful TopTops. I am sorry again for being away little girl, I am so tired when I get home in the afternoon, I even sometimes even forget to come on here to Charlie. I was so tired yesterday, as I had walked over seventeen and a half miles, I thought that I was going to collapse as I staggered down the lane. I was soaking again, as the rain had waited for me to leave the hospital for the second day, and then started spitting, before pouring down, why does it always happen to me. Last week I left at the usual time, got down to cowboy bobs, and it just started pouring down. I had to turn back, and when I got back inside, I was soaked through yet again. George was waiting for me, she was crying loudly, and ran in when I opened the garden doors. She would have to wait a while though, as I had to hang my backpack, and run a bath, but I soon fed her. After I let George out, I went and sat with poor Tiddles, and talked to my little sister, but than I had to come up here. I got so hungry, but waited until the usual time, then had a bowl of corn flakes for my dinner… I would have liked to have had a bowl of noodles, but it is far too hot for that. When I went down there one last time, I had to be even quicker than I was the night before. I forgot something, and when I went back down, I had just got level with the big scary old door, when that thing came barging through. I made sure that I was out of the way quickly, and I was in bed very early too, and I was certain that I would get a good nights sleep. I was soon awake again, as I needed a drink, that happened at least three times, and then I was awake this morning two hours before I used to get up at. I tried to get back to sleep, but it was hopeless, so I got up. George started crying when I got down there to the kitchen, so I let her in, but she would have to wait for food, as I had to take the bottle bins round to the front of the house. When I got back I fed George, did what I had to do, gave her some more food, and when she had finished that, I let her out. I came up here out of somethings way with a mug of coffee and a few biscuits, and after I had brought the bottle bins back round, I left to get my dopey head shaved again. I had to wait ages, as the barber was late, then I staggered into town to get a bit of shopping… but dopey me had forgotten the list, it was folded on the arm of the chair when I got back. The list from last week was still in my pocket, so I used that, the only things I did not get was brown sugar and tissues. It was a struggle getting back here, as my backpack was very heavy, I had three very awkward bags, and it started to get hot. As soon as I got back here, something went trundling out. It was going to see our poor Mum, but I do not know why it could not have left earlier, if I can leave here over five hours before midday, I am sure that could. I forgot though, it has to shovel down loads of pies and crisps before it leaves, unlike dopey me, who just has a mug of coffee and a few biscuits. As I said to Charlie, I am sorry that this is late little girl, but everything should be back to normal soon… I hope. I love you so much Topsy, I do love you little girl, and I do miss you, I miss you so much you beautiful, brave, clever little girl. XxX
