August 10th lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Just a bowl of humble Branflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk

Walk to Work.

For a change I didn't follow the Taff Trail, but walked down Cowbridge Road East _ a main artery into the centre of Cardiff.

On passing the Tuck-In ( a near 24 eatery) a chap, who was well into his 70s, was in full flow ranting at a mate across the table who was tucking into his full British Isles breakfast.

Getting more animated he then stuck his two fingers in the air... I don't think it was directed at, but must have been part of his conversation.

Perhaps it went like this: I was in the pub last night Bill, and my ex-wife came in. I just carried on drinking and ignored the old bat. But when I passed her on the way to the bogs I didn't say a word but just...

Lunchbox... the greatest in history.

Mrs B left a note inside, which read like a M&S food ad.

:This is no ordinary lunchbox... succulent chicken breast and sweetcure ham make up the sandwiches... hand picked English strawberries, coupled with the juiciest cherries and tastiest banana make up the fruit combo. Tesco provide the biscuits and Muller light yoghurt! And all lovingly prepared by your loving wife.
Enjoy!

Food was all gone by 12.30... thanks a zillion Petra & Isabella

This is the best entry for a long long time. That Random Thought made me laugh out loud.

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.
