I arrived home from work last night to find the house in darkness and Robbie was conspicuous by his absence. Sam informed me that a fuse had blown and the ligts were not working, he seemed happy enough as he still had his laptop and the television. Before I could discuss the things in more detail Sam informed me that Robbie was late (yet again) and I was supposed to be picking him up from the station. I went straight back out and headed back in the direction of work to pick Robbie up - the neighbours must think I am mad!
Thankfully Robbie does have his uses. Light was restored within five minutes of being home. I think the problem was caused by a faulty light bulb. We have a light fitting in the lounge that takes three small bulbs, we have had a couple of faulty bulbs lately but this time the glass part of the bulb came away from the the metal fitting. Thankfully it only fused the lights, the glass could easily have fallen and hurt someone.
