The weather has been lovely over the last few days, I love this time of year when the whole summer stretches ahead of us. I'm not sure my children would agree with me, Sam is suffering badly with hay fever, Laura is just about to start exam leave for her AS Level exams and Emily has exams looming at university. Sam has started on his medication, so hopefully his hay fever will improve soon. The oil seed rape is in flower and the countryside around here is a mass of yellow, I hate the smell and the pollen upsets my asthma so I will be glad when the flowers are gone. It really annoys me that I have asthma, I didn't develop it until I was an adult and I don't understand why, I have never smoked a cigarette in my life.
I had to go to town yesterday to buy birthday presents for Imogen, the youngest (and probably the loudest) of our children, she will be 9 later this month. Imogen looks so much like Robbie, she can be very strong willed but she has a lovely side to he nature, when asked what she wants for her birthday or Christmas she doesn't provide a long list of desires, she just says that she will be happy with anything. So we have spent the last few weeks trying to think of things that she will really like. I can't tell you what we have bought, that's top secret, but it involved me trudging around town until my legs almost dropped off. It was a successful trip and now I have plenty of wrapping up to do.
For those who are wondering if Robbie was forgiven after yesterday's blog entry, yes, I never stay cross with him for long. There was another points failure yesterday so he was late home again, it is so frustrating. He was home just long enough to eat his meal before dashing out to sort out Marion's wayward router again, it was an AOL server problem - again!. When I picked him up from Marion's house he said "I missed ..." and just for a split second I thought he was going to tell me that he had missed me (we have hardly seen each other this week), but it was something far more important - he had missed one of his favourite TV programs! It was late so I went to bed and left him watching the repeat of his program. Oh well at least I had peace and quiet!

No wonder you're exhausted, with so much going on and suffering from the Rapeseed pollen. Be grateful you don't live in my house, there is a field at the top of the bank, on the other side of the brook, which is at the bottom of the garden. So the field is just about level with where I am sitting now and just 300 yards away. Luckily, I don't suffer and I love the smell, it reminds me of honey.
As for your comment in my Journal, it does seem like they are out to get us doesn't it. As a stepmum I also saw a great deal of unfairnes was used, like my salary being taken into account when Mike's ex wanted more money for his son. Yet she has never done a day's work and that fact that I had two children living with me and no maintenence coming from their Dad was not to be considered. I could easily have borne them huge resentment when my kids had to do without, including the fact that I couldn't be there for them as I was having to work full time. Luckily I didn't resent them and we are all good friends.
Linda.
