March 7th

Breakfast: Bowl of cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk.

The Walk to Work: Good to see some rain this morning. Took off with my umbrella and it was down the River Taff Trail.
The immaculate white Husky dog I see often was out walking on the other side of the river in the grounds of Cardiff Castle.
Two duck were on the path in front on me. Two yards before I reached them they quacked and took to the air... a fantastic sight indeed.
No squirrels today, not sure they are too fond of rain.

The Lunchbox:
1 chocolate cookie and a malted tea biscuit... interesting combination
4 ham and tomato sandwiches on granary bread.
1 strawberry flavoured Muller light Yoghurt... I never tire of them.
1 banana
1 apple
1 small container of grapes sliced kiwi friut and mango.

THE run of play
Biscuits were a delight and were gone by 11am. I then had the banana. Sandwiches fell in battle at midday, followed by the fruit sensation and the yoghurt.

RANDOM THOUGHT



MARCH 1st 2007: CHIEF executive of the National Botanic Garden for Wales Roy J Thomas (pictured top above and not bottom!) is eaten by a Triffid, which is on display in the garden's hot-house.

The Triffid ( a man eating plant) was a gift from the bosses at Kew Gardens in London.
Fortunately the Triffid had such a delicate palate that good guy Roy was regurgitated 10 mins later.

Mr Thomas said, "We had no idea it was a man eating plant. I was on my morning inspection and lent over to view the loveable creature, but before I knew it I was in its jaws and swallowed whole.... it sort of reminded me of being in a board meeting of the Welsh Development Agency!

"I was a bit shaken, but fortunately no permanent damage was done... being such a very good lawyer I am going to sue the arses off Kew Gardens!"

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.
