BREAKFAST: Nice bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed milk.

The Walk to Work
Another sunny morning as I headed off to work along what I thought would be my usual route down the Taff Trail which leads into the centre of Cardiff.
However, within a few minutes, I came across good friend Toby Mason, who by day/night is a rather good producer at BBC Wales.
So we walked down Kings Road in Canton, a street in which my late Uncle David managed to live in three adjoining houses in his life.
It all started back in the 1940s at No 60, along with his nine brothers and sisters, including of course my dad.
They then all moved to No 62, in the late 40s/early 50s.
Then years later in the 1970s Uncle David decided to buy the house next door No 64..... apologies to my extended family if the numbers are wrong, put you know what I mean.
I then whistled down Cowbridge Road and over Canton Bridge into the centre of Cardiff... this route is about 10 mins quicker than the more tranquil Taff Trail one.

Lunchbox
4 salmon (tinned variety) on granary bread with a hint of lemon juice
1 banana
1 apple
1 Cherry flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt.

WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR.

Have to say all the contents of the lunchbox were gone by 11.30am!

Did you know that the Kings Road in Chelsea was named as a tribute to the Canton equivalent, which itself was named after King Arthur.

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.
