BREAKFAST: Fine bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk

THE WALK to WORK

There were more dogs on the Taff Trail than I have seen in a long time, including that wayward Doberman which has given me quite a few frights in the past.
The immaculately groomed White Husky dog also made an appearance.
No squirrels again in view this morning. At the end of the trail, before Canton Bridge, the Chinese State Circus had arrived in town. Not many were about, but their big top looked pretty impressive.... was wondering if Wales's most affable senior civil servant, Gareth Hall, who I encountered on the trail yesterday, had joined their ranks ( and no, I am not implying a new career as a clown!).


LUNCHBOX
4 ham sandwiches, with cherry tomatoes, on granary bread
1 banana
1 peach
1 Vanilla flavoured Muller Light yoghurt.

WHAT a deliciously crisp cover drive


Sandwiches were first to go (bowled middle stump), then the fruit which was tragically run-out after looking well set just before midday. The yoghurt was lbw in the last over just before the lunch break.

Hi Cornflake King... great fan of your blog by the way.

Yes indeed no podcast... I managed to record 2 last night, but there was too much hissing when I hosted them... will re-record tonight.

Snap crackle and pop! for the rest of the day.

Gareth Hall would be a very good trapeze artist.

A very humble former WDA employee.

Gareth as a trapeze artist?

He is in pretty good shape on account of his yoga, so I think he would make a good go of it.

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.
