Feb 14th, lunchbox
















MY lunchbox does have time for recreational activities. Here it is pictured recently during a Addis Lunchbox hide and seek weekend, which was held in the Forest of Dean.

He was spotted with just 30 seconds remaining on the clock having hidden successfully for 2 hours, by a lunchbox which is used to store chicken stock at a Greek Cypriot restaurant in Glasgow.




The Walk to Work.

Rain was in the air this morning, and about time as well.
Took the scenic route through Pontcanna Fields. Was unable to clarify if the number plate I remembered yesterday was correct, as the LandRover was no where to be seen.

More dogs were out and about than I have seen for a while. One chap was trying to control four dogs just before the River Taff Trail. They were all pretty excitable and trying to catch squirrels... which is always a fruitless task.
That brush covered in paint I saw last week, reappeared, this time just off the trail having been thrown into the undergrowth.
Quite a few duck I spied below on the River Taff, they all looked extremely contented.

Lunchbox
2 Rich Tea biscuits
4 smoked salmon sandwiches on granary bread with that obligatory hint of lemon juice.
1 banana
1 apple
1 Muller Light cherry flavoured yoghurt.
1 small container of kiwi fruit and grapes.

Young man young man, what happened?.... (can you picture Jimmy Saville?)

The Geneva Convention went out of the window because I was really hungry. Biscuits went at 11am, followed at 11.05am by the banana. Sandwiches were ambushed at midday. 5mins later I took out the yoghurt and then the kiwi fruit and grapes. Before the apple could raise a white flag I had eaten that as well.


Random Thought:

This blog is not a meal ticket out of my current job... but it is my lunch.

2105: The Pope (still a man, but the third from Africa) blesses the first cathedral in Antarctica. Following year the world's first joint venture Mosque/Synagogue facility is opened in Tehran(hurrah for our faith in humanity!)

2099: The first magnetically powered highway between the west and east coasts of the US is officially opened by Britney Spears to mark the start of her comeback tour.

Today's job swap: Australian actor Russell Crowe and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

Ps... Hello to Tom (and Kim) and Philip Walton in Brisbane, Australia.... keep smiling lads and do you recall this: "Did anyone have that mushroom ravioli?"

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.
