March 9th Lunchbox





HERE I am taking it is easy sitting in the "tree seat" in the grounds of Cardiff Castle.

I took the lunchbox along as well, as I don't believe sitting in a cupboard all weekend is healthy for any lunchbox... they need to get out and experience new things.









However, I was disappointed to learn yesterday that makers of my lunchbox, Addis, are making 50 people redundant at its factory in Swansea.

The Walk to Work.

Mildest it has been for a while... didn't even need a coat this morning.
At a quicker than usual speed I was in Pontcanna Fields from my home in under 10 mins...

Struck me how green this land of ours is... Down the Taff Trail and the river was moving a bit more than yesterday... would describe its pace as military medium.
Came across a few squirrels today... good to see them out and about again.

A jogger passed me... a tiny looking women, aged say about 25. It wasn't the most natural of looking running styles, but each to their own.

Over Canton Bridge into the centre of Cardiff and I spied an extremely large duck on the riverbank below.... I had to look twice as it was so big.

The lunchbox (have to say getting the lid on the lunchbox each morning is quite tricky)

2 rich tea biscuits
4 ham and tomato sandwhiches
1 banana
1 apple
1 small container of sliced kiwi fruit and grapes
1 strawberry flavoured Muller Light yoghurt.

For those who have finished please no talking the exam is still on!

Went for the biscuits, which were divine at 11.30am. I then had the banana and the sandwiches just before midday.
The apple was next as I felt I have been neglecting them of late by always eating them last.
The yoghurt was gone in the flash, before rounding things up nicely with the container of fruit.

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.
