March 10th lunchbox






The ducks on the River Taff, with a seagull coming into land.







Breakfast: Branflakes this morning with semi-skimmed milk.

The Walk to Work
Quite spring like this morning, after the howling chilling wind of last night.... the centre of Cardiff is like a wind tunnel at times.

It was through Pontcanna Fields and down the legendary River Taff Trail.... it was a morning for small dogs with two terriers running ahead of its pretty laid back owner.

More ducks than you could shake a stick at on the River Taff this morning, although again no squirrels to be seen in the trees.

The Lunchbox.

Lovely piece of plum crostata.... which was brought all the way from the Italian village of Casperia by my Aunty Maureen
4 ham and tomato sandwiches
1 cherry Muller Light yoghurt
1 apple
1 banana
small container of grapes and sliced kiwi fruit and a cut up plum

From the top 1-2-3-4!

Had the crostata, which is made in the bakery in Casperia and it was molto bene!
Banana was next and then the sandwiches just before midday. I then polished off the remaining fruit.
Random Thought:
2100. The Estonian team wearily emerge from a deep cave complex in Bolivia after 90 years to take the inaugural World Hide and Seek title.

The first team to be eliminated, after only 33 mins _ way back in 2010 _ were the Italian team (pictured above) who were spotted happily sipping cappuccinos and generally gossiping in a popular cafe in Rieti.

Have a great lunch and sensational weekend

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
