10th Feb, Lunchbox

Breakfast: Bowl of Conflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk

The Walk to Work.

It was decidedly chilly this morning. Walking along the Taff Trail the home of Glamorgan Cricket Club looked a picture covered in white (see weather related sketch below).
The council parks van I saw yesterday reappeared ahead of me and I was right its number plates was T241 PNA.

A few ducks were out and about on the River Taff... the squirrels decided not to venture out.

The Lunchbox

2 rich tea biscuits
2 Lindt chocolates... these are amazing
4 ham and tomato sandwiches on granary bread
1 apple
1 satsuma
1 banana
1 Muller Light yoghurt cranberry and raspberry flavour
Small container of thinly sliced Kiwi Friuit.


How it went:

I opted for the Lindt chocolates at 11.20am, followed by the biscuits and the banana. I then had an apple, followed by the sandwiches and yoghurt. Left the remaining fruit until later in the afternoon

No Random Thought today, but something new

THE FRIDAY SKETCH

SCENE: Christmas morning and weather presenters Sian Lloyd (ITV network) and BBC Wales rival Derek Brockway, are around the ChristmasTree.

Sian (very excited): Oh Derek I love Christmas. Shall we open our presents?

Derek (looking extremely disinterested): Oh yeah Sian let's open the presents... I am so excited (sarcastic)

Sian: Okay Derek here is your present.

She kisses him on the cheek and passes him a nicely wrapped present. He opens it slowly

Derek (big-time sarcastic): Oh Sian this is what I always wanted.... The Complete Rainfall Charts for Capel Curig 1879 to 1927.

Looking disgusted he throws the book onto the settee

Sian: Okay Derek where is my present?

Derek (with a big smile on his face): Sian it's so big I had to leave it outside.

Sian (extremely excited): Oh Derek what can it be, a Porsche perhaps?

Derek opens the front door where the wind is howling, the temperature is minus 5 and the ground is covered in icy snow.

Sian: Oh Derek where is it, I cannot see it?

Derek kicks her sharply up the backside and she lands head first into the snow.

Derek (triumphant) : Happy Christmas Sian and enjoy your coldest Christmas on record!

Laughing hysterically he slams the front door.

If you haven't a clue who these two weather presenters are, please feel free to use any other presenters on this planet who you are familiar with.

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.
