Triffid Trouble

Robbie spent Sunday morning doing battle with a 'triffid' in the garden that has to be dug out before he can erect the final fence panel – it won! It is still standing defiantly, Robbie had to retire from battle due to exhaustion but he thinks he has a least inflicted some damage to the roots and battle will recommence next week. Maybe his skirmish in the garden put him in an awkward mood because he was in argumentative mood in the afternoon. First he absolutely insisted that I was wrong about the type of shampoo that I use for the dog, then later he insisted that I was lying about the cost of a BT call out when there is no line fault. What stupid things to argue about! He did apologise later when he found that he was wrong on both counts, it was fun watching him eat humble pie!
