Feb 24th Lunchbox

Breakfast: Bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk. Two pieces of sliced granary toasted bread with olivio spread and blackcurrant jam, followed by a pint of water.... first half from the tap and the second from a bottled version in the fridge.

The Walk to Work.
It was snowing this morning. Just past the entrance into Pontcanna Fields and I came across a woman who kissed her black labrador before letting him off his lead He was very excitable and was rushing around like a bull in a china shop.
Her other dog, which I didn't see her kiss, looked like he had a bit of Irish Wolfhound in him. When he was released he was far more subdued.

It has been a few weeks, but it was great to see a magnificent swan cruising up the River Taff as I walked along the river trail. It was "squirrelless" again today.

The Lunchbox.
Forgot to mention that Mrs B yesterday provided a small container of anchovies, which were delicious.

Today's contents

A slice of chocolate cake made by niece Marianne... nice one kid!
4 ham sandwiches on granary bread.
A small slice of feta cheese lightly covered in olive oil - a first ever appearance in the lunchbox.
1 banana.
1 apple.
1 small container of sliced kiwi friut and strawberries with grapes.

Please enligthen us

THE chocolate cake was excellent and was devoured at 11am. I then went for the banana. Had the sandwiches, interspersed with the Feta cheese, just before midday. Proceedings were satisfactorily wrapped up with the remaining fruit.

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.
