Rhodri Morgan and the blog recital & Feb 23rd lunchbox



AS promised First Minister for Wales, Rhodri Morgan (pictured), recites a Sion Barry's World blog entry.

Click here to hear Mr Morgan in lunchbox action:

Breakfast: Cornflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk.


The Walk to Work: A bit milder today, after two days of bitter cold. Into Pontcanna Fields and I immediately came across a gathering of three dogs (an Alsatian, a Cocker Spaniel and black Labrador) who were standing calmly while two middle aged women (presumably their owners) chatted happily.
Down the Taff Trial on the other bank that immaculately groomed white Husky I see regularly was barking.... no idea why, but perhaps he had spied a squirrel racing up or down a nearby tree.
Ducks were out in force on the River Taff, they really are great creatures.

The Lunchbox. A piece of Mrs B's amazing chocolate crunch.
4 salmon sandwiches (tinned variety) on granary bread with a hint of lemon juice
1 apple
1 banana
1 raspberry Muller Light yoghurt.
1 small container of sliced kiwi fruit, strawberries with grapes.

Tell us what happened my man!
Chocolate crunch was superb and I even gave a piece to my colleague David Williamson, who enjoyed it immensely too.
I then went for the banana just after 11.30am and I have to say the sandwiches followed quickly and were all gone by 11.50am. I then went for the remaining fruit and the yoghurt.

Random Thought: Try clapping for more than 2 minutes. In my experience it gets quite difficult to keep a nice rhythm going after a while, as I discovered last night at the end of the Welsh National Opera's production of the Flying Dutchman at the Wales Millennium Centre.

Today's Swap: The continents of Europe and Africa for five years, but with a break clause after 18 months.

Giggling (great world) : I was a great giggler as a kid. For some reason as you get older it doesn't happen as much, but when it does it is magical. It happens quite a bit though with newsreaders and sports commentators.

Talking to yourself?... some of the world's best conversations happen through this communication channel.

The most money I have ever found was about £40 in a gutter in Birmingham. From memory it was four £10 notes.

Baby is coming: Making real progress on Bumpy's nursery... it looks the business.

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. RANDOM THOUGHT 2333: Adam and Eve are brought back to life (don't ask me ho...
