Feb 13th, Lunchbox

Breakfast: A bowl of Cornflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk.


The Walk to Work

Was i-Podless this morning as I decided to fully tune into the birdsong on my scenic route to work through Pontcanna Fields and along the River Taff Trail.

The River Taff was calmness personified and the temperature was more spring like this morning.

On the other bank of the River is one rather large tyre - must have belonged at one stage to a rather large truck. Have no idea how it got there... was it rolled over the embankment onto the river's edge or could it have drifted down stream from prehaps as far up as Pontypridd?

A Landrover was parked on the track that leads to Glamorgan County Cricket Club. I think the number plate was W87 BKA... will tell you tomorrow if I was correct.
More squirrels than of later were out and about this morning.

Lunchbox
2 rich tea biscuits
4 smoked salmon sandwiches, with of course a hint of lemon juice, on granary bread.
1 banana
1 apple
1 Muller Light Yoghurt cherry flavour
Small container of grapes and thinly sliced Kiwi friut.

What happened:
Biscuits were the perfect way to get the ball rolling, followed by the banana. Waited until midday before demolishing the sandwiches... then had the yoghurt and remaining fruit, but have to say the grapes and the kiwi fruit were a magical combination.


Random Thought: Many of us laugh at jokes even though we don't get the punchline, or because we were not really listening. There is no solution for this at present.


Can you make a full-time living out of being a contributor for canned laugther on television?

2097: The US ban knife and forks in schools in favour of bio-degradable chopsticks. In return America is readmitted to the elite club of the world's biggest economies, headed by China and also made up of India, Brazil and Nigeria.

If WW1 broke out tomorrow, not quite sure so many youngsters would be so keen to serve Queen and Country.

2120: The first Grey Squirrels are spotted in the forests of Antarctica.

Ps Hello to Sarah and Alex in North Hollywood, Los Angeles.... remember guys being able to touch your toes should ever be under-estimated

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.
