April 11th lunchbox



THE GREAT NON ESCAPE SKETCH from PoW Camp Not So Von Badoff somewhere deep in the Black Forest, Germany, March 1943.

BREAKFAST: 3 Weetabix with hot milk.

THE WALK TO WORK

LEFT at 7.15am and it was all very low key. However, one observation from being on the Taff Trail an hour earlier than normal, is that you hit jogger rush hour.

The River Taff was practically unconscious.... so different from the rapids of last week.

Saw a squirrel coming down from a tree. When he got to the ground he disturbed a rather large Wood Pigeon, who opted for safety by taking to the air.

THE LUNCHBOX
2 Rich Tea biscuits
4 ham sandwiches on granary bread
2 small bananas.
1 apple
1 container of green grapes and strawberries.
1 Cherry flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt.

I'VE not thrown a dart in years!

Biscuits went early, followed by the bananas just after 11am. It was then the sandwiches and the container of fruit. Apple will remain a
companion until the afternoon.

RANDOM THOUGHT

Phone rings, you don't answer it, then your mobile phone goes 20 seconds later and you don't answer it. 30 seconds later there is a knock at the front door and you don't answer it.

Next morning you awake to find a letter has been put through your letter box.

It reads, "We rang you on your landline, then your mobile, and then knocked on the door last night, but with no reply.

"You are still occupying our home illegally and we are getting pretty fed up with the whole situation."

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.
