Vanishing Act

Robbie was late home again on Friday, I wasn't pleased because dinner was spoiled and even when he got home he was like a bear with a sore head. He was sorry afterwards and he spent the rest of the weekend trying to make up for his strop on Friday. On Sunday morning I was working in the bedroom when Robbie cam up to ask if I would like a bacon sandwich, I didn't take much persuading. Robbie headed downstairs again and vanished for over an hour eventually he reappeared bearing a bacon sandwich and looking rather sheepish. He confessed that he had been sidetracked by Fred Dibnah! He then started to tell me about all steam engines he had just been looking at on television. I fixed him with a hard stare, it is bad enough that he abandoned me for Fred Dibnah, but talking animatedly about steam engines was a step too far!
