June 12th lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Very agreeable bowl of branflakes with a sprinkling of porridge oates.

Walk to Work.

Still very muggy this morning, despite the thunder storms earlier. Took the scenic route along the Taff Trail, which follows the River Taff into the centre of Cardiff.
I came across one of Wales's most affable senior civil servants, the Welsh Assembly's director for the department of Enterprise, Innovation and Networks, Gareth Hall.
Like myself Gareth is a keen walker to work to his new offices at Cathays Park close to the centre of Cardiff.
With cyclists whistling past at great speed, Gareth expressed genuine concern that a serious accident is bound to happen sooner rather than later on the legendary, but very narrow, trail.
I was wearing a blue shirt with a blue bag over my right shoulder (with my cricket kit and most importantly my lunchbox box inside).
Gareth, who is thinking of getting an i-Pod, thought I was a postman at first... I should be so lucky I said. (yeah... that's right)

LUNCHBOX
4 prawn sandwiches on granary bread
1 banana
1 peach
1 vanilla flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt


Can I have an extra slice of cake for my imaginary friend?

Had the banana first, then the sandwiches (which were excellent) then the peach and finally the yoghurt

RANDOM THOUGHT

2090: The UK's last postman retires in Lerwick, Scotland. Advances in technology mean we no longer need them... much to the disappointment of the UK's dog population.

Tomorrow's podcast... not sure what about yet, but will conjure something up at home tonight.... after the cricket.

Hi Sion

How fitting that prawn sandwiches are in your lunchbox on the day Roy Keane retires from professional football. Was this a deliberate ploy? And were they King Prawns, or just average ones?

All the very very best to you,

Hi Jason,

No idea about Keane's retirement.

Just average prawns, like the ones in corporate hospitality at Manchester United.

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.
