June 16th lunchbox


BREAKFAST: Grandiose bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk.


THE Walk To Work
Down the Taff Trail and I came across a bicycle left on its side in the middle of the trail.
It looked pretty odd, but then a young woman, who I had passed earlier with her dog, turned back towards the bike, picked it up and cycled away.
Quite a few ducks were on the River Taff below.

Lunchbox
4 ham and tomato sandwiches on granary bread
1 banana
1 apple
1 peach.


I was in the laundrette so I didn't see a thing... I thought the gunfire was the dryer packing in

Sandwiches went first just after 11am, the fruit wasn't that far behind.

RANDOM THOUGHT


2039: Germany for the first time comes out fighting over the UK's continued obsession that they had "Won the War."
German Foreign Minister Dieter Von Trapp said, "Look we are so tired of this talk from you British all the time that you vun the war... my God it was a 100 years ago now and you are still all obsessed by it."
Speaking at a press conference outside No 10 Downing Street he continued, "If it was just Germany v England we would have hammered you, but you got all that help from those Americans and Russians and every other Tom, Dick and the Harry on this planet.
"So how about a one on one rematch to settle this issue once and for all?
He pauses for 30 seconds as the UK's Prime Minister looks nervously down at her feet with the world's press gathering around
Dieter gives out a huge grin, "Ha ha ha! You not find it funny? But what about your great sense of British humour?"

Funnily enough after this nobody in the UK ever makes fun of the Germans again.

Have a wunderbar weekend!

If you were around during the war do doubt the Germans would have won!

Well, it brightened up my very dull afternoon at work, anyway. Can we have something funny about the World Cup next?

Cornflake King... is the tower in Wales?

Claire... something about the World Cup? Okay I will try and do something, perhaps a silly podcast.

Stay happy everyone (that goes double 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.
