I'm writing this post for a reason that will become clear later. Even on a good day Robbie can be downright annoying, and on a bad day he makes my hands itch. I have a bad cough at the moment and I have been taking Benylin cough medicine; this morning Robbie had a long debate with himself about the way Benylin is branded and whether or not it has always been owned by the same company. How do I make him understand that I don't care, it eases my cough, that is all that matters to me! I have tried repeatedly to explain to him that he drives me mad when he constantly asks 'why' but he still asks. This morning he asked if I wanted another cup of tea, I replied that I didn't and he asked why. What does he want me to say, it is a matter of personal preference, if I decline a cup of tea it is because I don't want one, it is as simple as that. Surely I don't really need to explain that I have reached my optimum fluid level!
Today we went to North Walsham, we had a look at a couple of shops and Robbie stayed so close to me that I felt suffocated. I picked up a non slip mat for the car dashboard priced at 89p and he informed me that I didn't want that – which made me determined that I would buy it! It was a very different story when he spotted the railway books, suddenly it was OK to spend money – on stuff that he wanted. Then he spotted some Persil washing up liquid and he was very keen that we should stock up, so we had to buy five more bottles.
While we were out Robbie bought and ate a pasty, but Sam and I didn't have any lunch (because we don't like pasties) so I planned to make cheese on toast when we got home. As we got out of the car I mentioned to Robbie what I was going to do and he said “no, you don't want that”. I couldn't believe it, he even offered to make it if I chose something different! I declined and started to make the cheese on toast and Robbie sat watching, telling me not to cut the cheese like that, he even told me how to toast the bread. He then acts all surprised when I get annoyed with him.
This evening I asked Robbie if we could sit down together and watch a dvd or find something to watch on television. Robbie went to look at the pile of dvd's and came back to complain that I had not packed all of his train dvd's. We have 14 train dvd's with us as well as a selection of other dvd's, and if Robbie wanted to bring more there was nothing to stop him doing his own packing. He then decided that Tank Girl was the only thing he could possibly watch and he couldn't understand why I didn't want to watch it. He kept telling me that it was an iconic film. He sat there in his arm chair with his arms folded and his lip sticking out a mile, just because I wouldn't watch his 'iconic' film!
Anyway, I hope that if one day I lose my temper and do him a mischief, someone will remember this post and tell the powere that be that I was provoked!!
The seals were back again today, Robbie saw three of them swimming close to the beach. I stood outside this evening to watch the bats flying around as it got dark, they are amazing!
