April 7th lunchbox
















THIS picture of a caged squirrel has been sent to this blog by a chap in Cardiff who goes by the name of Ford.

Ford is the author of the yet to be published best seller, The contented little Squirrel.

Anyway, Ford is an animal lover, but the squirrels in his garden devour all his bird seed. So every so often he captures a squirrel in his specially built contraption (see above). They are then taken to a new tree rich location and released.... possibly the Taff Trail.

BREAKFAST: 3 weetabix with hot milk.

THE WALK TO WORK.
Mildest morning of the year so far as I set off for the Taff Trail. Pretty quiet it was too, with only a few other pedestrians and 3 cyclists joining me.
There was a great Eureka! moment as the British Bull Dog and the immaculate White Husky I see often, came walking towards me - with their owners a few yards behind chatting away happily.

Also saw a few squirrels this morning, perhaps Ford had released a few during the night!

Lunchbox.

2 chocolate digestives.
2 smoked salmon sandwiches with a hint of lemon juice on granary bread
2 ham and tomato sandwiches on granary bread
1 banana
1 apple
1 cherry flavoured Muller light yoghurt
1 small container of sliced pieces of pear and a cut up plum... I'm afraid it's back in rehab!

Darling you will have to turn back I think I've left the oven on!

Biscuits went at 11am, quickly followed by the banana. Had the sandwiches just before midday and then the container of fruit, followed by the yoghurt. Apple is holding out until the afternoon

RANDOM THOUGHT

2008: AUTHOR of the world's best selling book, The Contented Little Squirrel, announces he is going to spend weekends living in a tree in his very nice garden.

Ford also completes the New York Marathon wearing a very convincing squirrel outfit (see above) in 3 days and 8 hours.
He would have finished it in 6 hours if it wasn't for the fact that he spent so much time up a very nice Birch Tree in Central Park

Have a tip-top weekend.

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.
