Good morning beautiful Topsy. Yet again, I am sorry about not being on here to you little girl, it has been over fifteen months since I was just writing to Charlie and you every day… in that time, we have lost my poor Mum, Molly, and Tiddles, it is so unfair little girl. Even at this horrible time, that big shouty, door slamming, gobbling thing has been after an argument for ages, just as that evil old ogre used to do, and yesterday morning it got it. It went on and on until my sister snapped, and she had asked it to shut up. The reason for it being even more angry, my little sister went into town with me to choose flowers for our poor Mum. It is the first time in just over eight months that it has allowed my sister to go out… the last time was to visit our poor Mum on her birthday last year. Before we left, it said that it was going out when we got back, we got back forty-five minutes before midday, and it waited until I fed George, which was nearly two hours after midday, before deciding to go out. At least I could get something to eat. I had three toasted crumpets, then two slices of victorian sponge cake, and that was it, about an hour later, I got up here out of the way before it came back. Late yesterday afternoon, when I went back down there to get a hot drink, it still had not come back, so I was expecting to get caught. I was not though, it came slithering in just after I had come back up here, and gobbled down a huge dinner. I have not been able to have a hot meal for over ten months little girl, and even then, that was just a bowl of noodles. It has gotten very cold again, and I was glad to get into bed last night, I had wanted to get in early, but as usual, I was somehow kept downstairs, even though I was groaning. I woke up this morning nearly half an hour after I used to get up, I fed George and that tiny black and white cat, but I have not seen Thomas for nearly six months, I hate to think what those evil odd swamp-things have done with her. After I had fed George and that tiny cat, I got back up here out the way with my coffee and a few biscuits. George had come back in when I let the tiny cat out, so I left her in the kitchen, and kept going down there to see how she was. I last went down there about three hours to midday, just before something got up, I will not be allowed back down there until well after midday. Somethings huge breakfasts were sizzling away not long ago, and after that has bern shovelled down, it will be rubbing it hands together at the thought of huge roasted dinners for this evening. There will be lots of gobblings in between. I am going into town early tomorrow little girl, so I will not be able to come on here to you, but things should be back to something how they were just fifteen months ago soon. I love you Topsy, I love you so much little girl, and I miss you, I love you and I miss you so much, you beautiful, brave, beloved little girl. XxX
