Tuesday 7th Feburary, Lunchbox

Breakfast: Bowl of Cornflakes with organic semi-skimmed milk. Also had a crumpet with Olivio spread.


The Walk to Work

The joys of spring again this morning. On the other side of the river [Taff] are the grounds of Cardiff Castle.

There is always quite a bit of activity on the more "upmarket" east side of the river.

This morning I was delighted to see a number of council workers picking up litter.

Plenty of groovy birdsong filled the air, but not even a solitary squirrel to be seen


For a change on leaving the Taff Trail I took the route to work along the riverside walkway that runs along the Millennium Stadium.
Have to say the wooden decking can be quite slippery when it has been raining. Not sure who would be liable if someone made an insurance claim if injured after falling over.

The lunchbox.

Mrs B is still weaving her considerable magic in the kitchen
2 sausage sandwiches (left over from last night's sausage, mash and onion gravy.
2 ham sandwiches
2 rich tea biscuits
1 satsuma
1 banana
1 container of red and green grapes and kiwi fruit... awesome!
1 Muller Light cherry yoghurt

How it was consumed.

Yeah it had to be the biscuits just before 11am. I then had the banana. Midday I had the sandwiches, starting with the sausage ones.... they were excellent.
I never tire on my yoghurts.... it was then the remaining fruit.

Random thought: Do we call it Great Britain because Britain is great, or is it a reference to a wide geographical area? and what about Great Yarmouth?


Warranties: Next time you are in an electrical store and some annoying salesman is trying to sell you a £50 three year extended warranty say on a £220 digital camera try this line:

"Warranty what a good idea. Tell you what, if you knock £45 off the camera, you've got a deal."

Prediction 2095: A woman will hold the world record for the Marathon.

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.
