TODAY's LUNCHBOX

AMAZING times we live in.


Mrs B again, bless her cotton socks!, prepared the lunchbox.... with an extra smaller box _ more of later.



The Walk to Work.

Frost was on the ground in Pontcanna Fields this morning. On the Taff Trail you get a great elevated view over the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club (Sophia Gardens). This morning the whole pitch looked a bit sad covered in white.

Although my riverside route to work is beautiful, I am getting a bit concerned about litter levels _ cans, bottles and general rubbish can be found everywhere.

Two of the largest Seagulls I have ever seen were out strolling just ahead of me in search of early morning worms.


The Lunchbox.

4 ham sandwiches on white/brown bread (but only two had cherry tomatoes... will have to buy some on the weekend.

2 chocolate digestive biscuits.

1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light yoghurt.

1 banana, 2 small satsumas and an organic apple.


WHAT happened.

Yes you guessed it, the chocolate digestives went at 11am _ banana fast on its heels.


Sandwiches were heavenly today... all gone by midday.

Then came the yoghurt... no spillages _ very pleased at that.

Fruit went through the afternoon.


Mystery smaller container? Well last night I made a very nice bacon pasta dish_ with some chilli seeds added to give it a little bit of a kick. However, I cooked a little too much.

As I am going out for a few drinks tonight [with Mr C and Mr M] I decided I would be in need of a pre-drinks stomach liner _ so enter the bacon pasta.

This will be eaten before leaving the office for the pub at 6pm.


Random Thought: Where have all the plate spinners gone? Used to love watching them on the box.

Are you are an alternative fuels or an alternative views sort of person? I reckon you can be both.

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.
