Feb 27th lunchbox


Here I am pondering another Random Thought (see today's below).

Breakfast: Bowl of Cornflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk. Two pieces of toasted sliced granary bread, with olivio spread and blackcurrant jam.

The Walk to Work.
Pretty mild this morning after the chill of the last week. Have to report that rubbish levels were appalling as I walked along the Taff Trail ... cans, bottles, cartons, etc etc, were discarded on both sides, especially on the embankment leading down to the River Taff.

On the other river bank is a funky looking tree trunk in which has been engraved a man's face with flowing locks and a long beard... it look like a wizard to me. An interesting seat has also been carved into it, so if a passerby fancies taking a break they can sit down and watch the wildlife on the river below.
Next time I am on that side of the River Taff I will try it out.

First daffodils have bloomed in Pontcanna Fields, but only three have come through.
A few squirrels were out and about... one was inspecting a discarded food carton.

The Lunchbox
2 Rich tea biscuits.
4 smoked salmon sandwiches on granary bread with a hint of obligatory lemon juice.
1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light yoghurt
1 Raeburn apple
1 small container of sliced kiwi fruit and strawberries with red grapes.

Take your time and in your own words!

Biscuits were gone by 11am. I then went for the banana at 11.30am. Sandwiches were a great start to the week and were eaten just after midday. Then had the yoghurt and the remaining fruit.


Random Thought
2322: The Earth is sold to a consortium consisting mainly of extra-terrestrials for 120 zillion yen, which by then will be the planet's only currency.

The Earth's Government in return agrees to pay an annual rent to the consortium, which is headed by a human who also happens to be a direct descendent of mining trade union leader Arthur Scargill.

The rent is not in yens, but in exchange for the Earth's commercial rights on plate spinning, which is the no 1 past time on 1,000 inhabited planets in the universe, generating an annual income of 12 zillion yen.

Today's Swap: The Rio Carnival and the Horse of the Year Show from Olympia.

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.
