9th Feb, Lunchbox

Breakfast: 2 Weetabixs with a sprinkling of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk. Also had two pieces of toasted sliced granary bread with Olvio spread and blackcurrant jam.

The Walk to Work

The weather was significantly colder than yesterday.
A council van with a lawnmower in the back passed me on the Taff Trail. As it travelled ahead of me I decided to try and memorise its number plate _ my short-term memory is not the greatest. However, I think it was T241 PNA.

Over the River Taff, just down from Glamorgan County Cricket Club is a very nice passenger bridge taking you over to the grounds of Cardiff Castle.
As I approached it I have to explain that I was carrying a plastic Tescos bag containing this week's editions of the FT.
From the other direction came a man also carrying a Tescos plastic bag.... no idea what was inside his.

There was a moment of product carrying recognition as he turned to walk across the bridge..... but nohing like the dreaded same dress syndrome at weddings.

The Lunchbox....

Well there wasn't one today as I was out lunching with a South Wales businessman who was wise enough years ago to source his manufacturing from China.


Random Thought: 2103: First forest in Antarctica is opened by the great-great-great grandson of polar explorer Captain Scott.

Also in 2140, I think it will be some time in June, the first person over the age of 100 will break the 10 second barrier for the 100 metres


Job swap: Eastenders actress Wendy Richards (plays character Pauline Fowler) and chairman of UK supermarket chain, Morrisons, Sir Ken Morrison.... this is a bit left field compared to yesterday's but it could be a goer.

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...
