Monday 30th January, Lunchbox



BREAKING NEWS.......

I have a new lunchbox. It came hurtling towards me out of the sky on Sunday afternoon as I stood in the centre of the tupperware circle of ancient stones (pictured left).

Having prayed to the lunchbox Gods for 13 mins & 7 seconds on the central stone of enlightenment, a new lunchbox was sent down from upon high.

And get this... they only sent to Earth a new Addis lunchbox _ the same size, coloured lid (identical is a better word), as my now retired lunchbox.

I had tried the conventional route of looking to buy a new one. I inspected a wide array of lock and hinge design boxes in numerous shops. However, they were either not the right width or depth... very disappointing as I really wanted one.

The Walk to Work:

Very nice walk today, although I was a bit worried as I was sporting a new pair of shoes and was aniticipating teething problems... but everything went fine _ but I put a pair of trainers in a shoulder bag just in case there were any foot problems.

Through Pontcanna Fields this morning again, where a great variety of birds were on display. A pair of Magpies landed on the river (Taff) embankment and immediately began hunting for food in the undergrowth.

Two blackbirds I also spied on a low lying tree branch. Squirrels were low key this morning... only saw one who looked extremely contented. The number of cyclists passing me on the Taff Trail was noticeable up this morning on last week.

The Lunchbox

2 chocolate digestive biscuits.
4 ham sandwiches with tomatoes on granary bread.
Combination of green and red grapes wrapped in tin foil.
1 Raspberry flavour Muller Light yoghurt.
2 Satsuma, 1 apple.
Smaller contained of thinly sliced strawberries and Kiwi Fruit.

How it was all consumed?

Yeah new Lunchbox... so excitement was in the air as I went for the chocolate biscuits at 11am, quickly followed by the grapes .... first time this year I have had grapes and hope to see them becoming a regular.

Waited an hour before demolishing the sandwiches

Then it was the yoghurt followed by the fruit frenzy.

Random Thought: I am not saying I am boring, but last night I was watching the test card [or the 10 day Ceefax weather forecast for readers under the age of 30] and the television switched itself off!

BREAKFAST: Was in the gym at 6.44am this morning.... first time in a month. Returned to have a swell bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk. THE WALK to WORK THE rain and wind tested by umbrella handing skills to the limit this morning. Down the Taff Trail and the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens, was looking particularly sad this morning. A cyclist waved as she passed me on the trail, turned out to be work colleague Anna Morrell . She later explained how she dreads passing pedestrians on the trail sporting i-Pods... good to get a cyclist perspective for a change! THE lunchbox: 1 plum 1 organic banana. 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of Chocolate Crunch made by Plugs of Trumpton PLEASE don't panic it's only a fire drill! Was feeling rather hungry this morning on the account of being all macho and going to the gym at such an early hour. Chocolate Crunch went first, followed by the banana and then t...

A podcast on the Welsh Forgetter of the Year. TO HEAR THE BARDS in ACTION CLICK HERE, DIOLCH! BREAKFAST: Very good bowl of Branflakes THE WALK to WORK. SUN was radiating as I ambled down what was a POSTCARDESQUE River Taff Trail this morning. Was i-Podless so had the full symphony of bird song, interspersed with the chimes of the Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle. THE LUNCHBOX 4 salmon sandwiches(tinned variety)with a hint of lemon juice. 1 plum 1 banana 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt. 2 Chocolate digestive biscuits. TRUST ME MY WIFE IS A MAGISTRATE. Biscuits went early, followed by the fruit then the sandwiches just before midday. Saving the yoghurt until later RANDOM THOUGHT 2021: THE opening of the first TESCO UNIVERSITY, where students are schooled in Tescology, is delayed after members of the ANTI-TESCO league chain themselves to supermarket trollies in the offices of the Vice-Chancellor, located at the end of the Frozen Food aisle of the new campus

BREAKFAST: Marvellous bowl of Cornflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk. The Walk to Work. Sun was really trying to break through (fair play), but even with clear blue skies there was the odd drop of rain... well that's the UK for you! Down the Taff Trial into the centre of Cardiff and it was cyclist mania this morning. And at last more on the wildlife front, noted two fierce looking ravens foraging for food on the river bank, as well as quite a few chilled out ducks on the River Taff below. The immaculate groomed white Husky passed me with his owner. LUNCHBOX... 1 banana 1 plum 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of coconut cake made by Plugs of Trumpton. THIS oven could do with a good clean! Went for the cake first (and why not!), followed by the banana and then the plum. Sandwiches were rapidly demolished just before midday. Yoghurt will go shortly.
