Thursday 26th Jan, Lunchbox















Time is ticking on my dear old Lunchbox.

Went to see a Lunchbox consultant in Germany yesterday.

And Dr Berhard Von Schapps (pictured right above) gave it to me straight.

That crack in the box I told you about last week was thoroughly examined by Dr Von Schapps and his team.

Regrettably Dr Von Schapps said the crack will not heal... adding compassionately that the lunchbox is going to the big tupperware store up in the sky.


Dr Von Schapps (whose English was immaculate) said the only thing I could do was to make the last few months for the Lunchbox as peaceful as possible. He warned me that if I continued to use it to carry my lunch to work, then it could "go at any minute."

When he said that I nearly fainted.

So today he [the lunchbox and not Dr Von Schapps] is at home.... surrounded by loved ones and friends in our kitchen.

MY walk to work was again through Pontcanna Fields _ it felt well weird not have my shoulder bag with the lunchbox inside.

The sedate British Bulldog I saw yesterday was this morning almost running.


Today's Lunchbox _ there isn't one for reasons stated above.

Random Thought : I am really going to miss my Lunchbox. There are some great new lunchboxes out their with their fancy locking hinges, but in my heart they will never replace my "special lunchbox."


Ps Hello Greg. In answer to your question, well yes I did have a Crunchie yesterday afternoon... it was marvellous.

Dr Van Schapps _ I have checked and the insurance people say that the lunchbox is not covered on my medical insurance... oh dear!

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. RANDOM THOUGHT 2333: Adam and Eve are brought back to life (don't ask me ho...
