Feb 15th, luncbox

Breakfast: 3 weetabixs with hot semi-skimmed milk, 2 pieces of sliced and toasted granary bread with blackcurrant jam, a half pint of water and 7 red grapes... I know this because I counted them.


Walk to Work Along the River Taff Trial and the river below was pretty rapid this morning. Debris of all description was being ushered down stream along with the choppy waters. Couldn't be certain, but I think yesterday's river bank tyre might have been taken prisoner by the waters some 150 yards ahead of me... had no chance of making ground on it. Hoping for low tide tomorrow for verification on this.
Rubbish was very noticeable this morning... come on good citizens of Cardiff let's get with the programme!

The lunchbox
2 chocolate digestive biscuits (welcome back).
4 tinned salmon sandwiches on granary bread... with a hint of lemon juice.
1 apple.
1 banana.
1 cherry flavoured Muller Light yoghurt.
1 small container of red grapes with sliced kiwi friut... magnifique.

WHAT happened? Chocolate biscuits were gone by 11.15am. I then broke the recent pattern by going for the kiwi fruit and grapes. Banana was next on stage, with the main act of the sandwiches at midday... then the yoghurt and apple.

Random Thought: If you are lost on a car journey and you stop and ask directions of a passerby do you have difficulty in assimulating the information?

Next time you are in an open field, park or even better a nice sandy beach, why don't you try closing your eyes and walking ahead for 60 seconds. It is a really interesting experience, although it is a good idea to have someone with their eyes open next to you throughout.

Today's job swap: The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival.

Oh, yes, I nearly forgot, the Sale of the Century contestants reunion in Norwich next week has been cancelled.

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.
