June 1st lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Bowl of Branflakes and 2 Weetabix (only the dregs of the Branflakes were left in the box) with semi-skimmed cold milk.


The Walk to Work

Sun was out in force again today as I headed down the Taff Trail. On the other side of the river in the splendid grounds of Cardiff Castle I saw the immaculately groomed White Husky Dog out with his owner.
Quite a few cyclists whistled passed me. Over Canton Bridge, which leads into the centre of Cardiff, and the two Regal Swans, which I haven't seen for a while, were seemingly sleeping
some 10 feet apart in the shallow waters.



LUNCHBOX

4 salmon sandwiches (tinned variety) with a hint of lemon juice on granary bread
2 chocolate digestive biscuits
1 banana
1 plum
1 Muller Light Vanilla flavoured yoghurt... I never tire of them




Tell you what I cannot decide so let's toss a coin... heads I'm cremated, tails I'm buried.

Biscuits were the first to go, then all the fruit (and why not!), then had the sandwiches just before the midday with a yoghurt finale!


RANDOM THOUGHT

2040: Declassified Pentagon documents reveal that Welsh singers Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey both served in the Vietnam War as part of a US helicopter unit (pictured in action above).
They were both signed to US record labels at the time in the summer of 1970 and the deal was
they would get a 20% hike in record sale royalties for serving four months... under the aliases of privates Thomas Junior III and Orville Orlington.

Why don't Tom and Shirley get together for a special lunchbox podcast to remember their lunches in their lunches during those dark days fighting the Viet Cong?They could even come up with a special song in memory of their fallen comrades.

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.
