March 13th lunchbox




Here is a squirrel making his way to ground on the River Taff Trail... great balance these creatures have.
The shadow on the trunk is me.













Breakfast: Bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk.

The Walk to Work.

Rather chilly this morning as I set off towards the River Taff Trail.
Most of the action was across the river in the immaculately kept grounds of Cardiff Castle.

The extremely well groomed white Husky dog I see occasionally was having an eventful time trying to placate a small but tenacious terrier dog, which was snapping at its heels and generally jumping around him like crazy.
He seemed to be taking it all in good heart as his owner chatted away to the owner of the terrier. Minutes later, and after the departure of the terrier, a sheep dog, also out with his owner, raced towards him.
Barking could be heard from both dogs as they charged towards each other... but when they came nose to nose it was all amicable stuff.
As I crossed Canton Bridge, which leads into the centre of Cardiff, it was a case of pairs on the river below.
Some 50 yards ahead and rowing away from me were two rowers, while on the other bank, and approaching at a very leisurely speed, were two magnificent swans.

The Lunchbox
1 banana
1 container of sliced kiwi fruit, a cut up plum (this is not a reference to its psychological well being)
1 apple
4 ham sandwiches with tomatoes on granary bread.
1 curly wurly... a brilliant addition
1 cherry flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt.

Give it to us straight!

Change of strategy. Went for the banana first at 11.10am, followed 10 mins later by the container of fruit (which was awesome)
The sandwiches were demolished at midday. I then had the yoghurt and the curly wurly - a genuis lunchbox inclusion by Mrs B - and that went down a storm. I then had the yoghurt. Saving the apple until later afternoon.

Random Thought
2100: Wales's longest uninterrupted run of an economically inactive family is broken, when John Jones, 17, gets a job as a tour guide around Wales' new capital of Caerphilly... Cardiff is officially deemed as being below sea level in 2090.

For the record the last economically active member of his family was his great great grand father who worked as a green keeper in Tredegar.

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.
