April 10th lunchbox




HERE I am with Rufus behind a nice tree in a bed of daffodils, which we didn't tread on!


The football match in the distance (top left) was apparently abandoned some 10 mins into the second half after a gang of grey squirrels invaded the pitch.






THE Walk to Work: Sun was reflecting off the River Taff as I ventured down the Taff Trail this morning. Great sight of three ducks in line taking to the air. Further on I witnessed one coming into land.

A seagull was hovering like a helicopter above the waters, must have had his eye on something to eat.
Pretty quiet pedestrian wise, but towards Canton Bridge, which takes you into the centre of Cardiff, cyclists were coming thick and fast

Lunchbox

2 rich tea biscuits
4 ham sandwiches on granary bread
2 small bananas
1 raspberry flavoured yoghurt
1 small container of strawberries and green grapes.
1 apple... Stop there my friend that's plenty!


RINGING PHONE: "IF that's work tell them I am in the bath!"

Biscuits went early at 10.45am followed swifly by the two bananas. Had the sandwiches at 11.50am, followed by the yoghurt and the container of fruit... apple is sticking around a little.

Random Thought:

YEAR 2020: First Pope (very nice one from Africa) in history to complete the New York Marathon in a very respectable time of 6 hours 6 minutes and 6 seconds.
The Vatican later insist there is no religious significance to the Pontiff's finishing time.


Tomorrow on this blog a new podcast : The Great Non Escape from PoW Camp Not so Von Badoff.

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
