BREAKFAST: Bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed milk... bravo!

Walk to Work

Drizzle in the air as I left my humble abode and headed towards the Taff Trail, which is around a five minute walk away.
Approaching Cathedral Road _ the best tree lined road in Cardiff _ a driver was waving frantically at me.
I couldn't make her out until she had passed, but it was Moira the wife of Wales's greatest living civil servant, Gareth Hall.
So Moira I wasn't ignoring you, but I only realised it was you after you had passed.
Pretty uneventful on the trail itself... apart from a chap in his running kit pushing a baby in a pram.


Lunchbox
1 container of raspberries
1 banana
2 digestive biscuits
4 ham and salad sandwiches on granary brea.
1 nectarine
1 raspberry and cranberry flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt

I have never heard a sister-in-law joke

Food was all gone my midday

Pictured are Betty and John Mills from Warrington, England, at Hotel La Booza in Spain.
They are leaving for home tomorrow after a two week all inclusive break.
Five minutes earlier they were at the hotel's reception seeking clarification on breakfast for the morning.

Receptionist: Si si... it okay we do special breakfast for you at 5.30am.

John: Bloodly marvellous and if you are ever in Warrington the drinks are on us!

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 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
