MONDAY'S LUNCH BOX

Mrs B was not feeling too good this morning ... but still insisted on getting out of bed to make my sandwiches _ perhaps one day they will make a film about her heroics!

The walk to work: The scenic route was taken this morning, through Pontcanna Fields and along the RiverTaff trail.

With my i-Pod on full blast I nearly got hit twice by cyclists from behind.

Squirrels were out and about in force. Spied one climbing high up a tree. I stopped for a minute to see if he would disappear inside the trunk, but alas no joy _ perhaps it only happens on the Discovery Channel.

The Lunch box.

4 ham sandwiches with tomatoes on white/brown bread.

2 chocolate digestive biscuits.

1 Strawberry flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt.

Banana, apple and two satsumas.


WHAT happened?

You guessed it... chocolate biscuits were gone by 11am.

Sandwiches, which I really enjoyed and think were enhanced by the presence of the tomatoes, were eaten at midday.

The yoghurt was a great way to round off lunch. Commented to my work colleague David how great the strawberry yoghurt was... he doesn't have a lunch box and goes out to buy sandwiches every lunch time.

The fruit was eaten in stages and was all gone by 2.30pm.

Later in the afternoon work colleague Aled Blake ( who is a huge Cardiff City fan) kindly gave me a frutella sweet _ many years since I had my last one and it brought back all sorts of memories of a long since closed cornershop in Grangetown, Cardiff, run by an Italian family.

Random Thought: Next time you are passing a bed and breakfast, why don't you ask if you can just have breakfast.

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.
