June 27th lunchbox





A NEW podcast this morning about dear old Betty and Gladys who both at the grand age of 82 decide to take their first trip on a plane.... a little break to Amsterdam from Manchester International Airport.

BREAKFAST My wondrous wife Petra brought me breakfast in bed this morning at 6.30am, which was a bowl of Shreddies and two pieces of toast with blackcurrant jam and Olivio Spread, and a cup of hot lemon juice _ freshly squeezed.

WALK to Work. Pretty low key on the Taff Trail this morning with only a handful of other pedestrians and cyclists joining me.
Before I join the trial, I walk along a little track at one end of Pontcanna Fields where a tented village is taking shape _ I guess it has something to do with a forthcoming polo match.
Only a few ducks were on the River Taff below... but alas again no squirrels to be seen.

LUNCHBOX.
4 salmon (smoked variety) sandwiches on granary bread
Some grapes (I didn't actually count them)
1 banana
1 plum
1 nectarine
1 Vanilla flavoured Muller Light yoghurt.

ENOUGH Food to sink a ship


The lunchbox was brought to you today by Petra... her first effort for around three months... and eight weeks into the birth of our daughter Isabella.

No they are still going strong... it would have been good to see them at the World Cup in Germany. though.. I have a feeling they might have been better behaved than the English.

But if Wales had qualified there would have been carnage!

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

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.
