May 26th lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Delightful bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed milk.

The Walk to Work.

This didn't occur this morning due to the fact that I have a day off for working last Sunday... not that I am a Catholic priest or anything, but if I was I think I would be a pretty good one... stop blowing your own trumpet middle aged man!


I have to be a bit more realistic I suppose, like if you cannot have triple glazing there is always double.

Lunchbox has been washed, dried and stored away until being called into action again next week.


RANDOM THOUGHT



Going to church provides quite a good work out... with the standing, kneeling and sitting positions, interspersed with a little walk to go to Holy Communion.

I used to go to church regular as clockwork, but always found the kneeling position the hardest of all.
MY concern for the Vatican is that someone is going to try and sue them for damaged knees, especially if the church in question didn't have padded kneeling rests.

HAVE a thrilling weekend and lunch

YOu don't have to necessarily kneel in church.

We only get standing and sitting at ours, though there can be quite a lot of it. Mind you, depending on who you get invited to lunch with, that's not nearly enough to work off the calories.

Hi Claire,
I think your church is very sensible.

Good to see you all then have lunch together too.

I am not an umbrellaologist and despite your blogger image, either are you.
It's raining crazy here in Wales today.

Your umbrella drive could be bad for the economy. There's been a 16% rise at John Lewis because: "Drenched customers tried to forget the weather by browsing electrical, fashion and furniture sections which all clocked up double digit increases, supply chain director Patrick Lewis said."

You English/Welsh people! It's true! All you do is sit around and talk about the weather! As you say, it cracks my cup!

Hi Jonah,

Do you have a favourite kind of whale?

It has to be the Blue Whale for me.

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.
