Feb 28th lunchbox
MY lunchbox, without the lid on, weighs just under 200 grams
Breakfast: Very enjoyable bowl of Cornfakes with semi-skimmed milk
The Walk to Work.
There wasn't going to be one, but from a completely different direction one transpired.
Mrs B drove me down to the St David's Hotel and Spa in Cardiff Bay for the launch of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), compiled by professors David Brooksbank and Dylan Jones-Evans... the terrible twins!
Got to the hotel for 8.00am, but the concierge had no knowledge of the event. I then rang the Hilton also in Cardiff, but they were just as bemused... found out later that it had been staged at the Wales Millennium Centre.
Mrs B dropped me at the top of Lloyd George Avenue which leads from Cardiff Bay to the centre of the capital. So I walked along it, but have to say I didn't see any wildlife, it was kind of spooky with hardly a soul around.
At the end of the avenue, although you have to walk under a railway bridge, is Callaghan Square, a commercial development which is home, amongst others, to law firm Eversheds.
The square itself is an interesting mix of water fountains, art work and shrubbery. Might be a nice place to have lunch this summer.
The Lunchbox
2 rich tea biscuits
2 ham and two sausage sandwiches (the remaining sausages from Mrs B's excellent bangers and mash last night) on granary bread
1 apple
1 banana
1 vanilla flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt
1 container of sliced strawberries, kiwi friut and red grapes.
Tell us what happened!
Biscuits were gone by 11am, I was feeling quite hungry so the sandwiches were consumed by 11.50am. I had the yoghurt just after midday and then went fruit crazy.
Random Thought
2312: Atlantic Ocean takes over from the Pacific as the world's biggest ocean.... map of the world has changed quite a bit and all that.
2195: First table tennis tournament on Mars is won by Tibet, who beat China in the final... very popular victory is this one.
2100: Israeli Government agrees to compensate the Egyptian Government for God's decision to slay all Egyptian first born in BC 1447, a drastic measure which led Pharoah to finally agree to let the Israelites, led by Moses, leave slavery in search of the Promised Land.

(Or, translated: I wonder if I can call on your lunchbox expertise).
I'm currently surviving on a morning diet of salt and vinegar Hula Hoops washed down with Lucozade (from the can, I might add, not the bottle).
This gives my text a kick I can tell you but, come mid-day, I'm flagging and my thoughts inevitably drift towards cans of Coca Cola and the chicken currys of Caroline Street.
I think a lunchbox is in order, could you recommend a trusted brand?

However,getting the lid on each moving is quite a hard task.
Your diet will probably change as a result too.
Keep smiling.
Your blog spot is the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time. Well done. I happened upon your blog after typing "Thinly Sliced Wiltshire Ham" into Google as you do. Anyway, keep up the good work - I shall be checking the contents of your lunchbox regularly. Also, How is Mrs B? Does she take her own lunchbox to work also? If yes, what's in there?
