August 18th lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Bowl of three Weetabix with hot semi-skimmed milk; two pieces of toast with Olivio Spread and blackcurrant jam; cup of tea and glass of water.

The Walk to Work: This didn't happen today as I have a day off for working last Sunday.

Spent most of the morning trying to entertain my nearly 16 week old daughter Isabella. However, she managed to do most of the entertaining.

Lunchbox: Washed, dried and stored away until Monday.

Plan to have some salmon sandwiches for lunch.

Went for a hair cut. Mr Haroon's shop is just at the end of my street. I was the first customer of the day at 11.25am. Had a general chat about the weather and last night's thunder. He only charges £5 a cut, which I think is bloody marvellous and my wife thinks my friend from Pakistan does a good job too.



Oh that's much better... I can just see the outskirts of Crewe now.

Random Thought.
Today's message from beyond the grave comes from Native American chief Sitting Bull.


"You all need to wise up"

Have a great lunch and a divine weekend!

Now here's a novel idea for a blog that I'm surprised hasn't become a cult hit over the Internet already... a day-by-day record of the contents of one man's lunchbox.

And a message from beyond the grave, eh? I can't read the phrase "from beyond the grave" anymore without thinking of the cheesy opening to the return of the Cybermen to "Doctor Who" earlier this year, where Trigger from "Only Fools and Horses" asked one of his scientists how he would be able to tell the world of his plans... "from BEYOND THE GRAVE?!?!?" in best panto villain style!

Caleb,

Thanks old chap. My first memories of Doctor Who I guess go back to the late 1960s.
I was terrified of those Cybermen and would hide behind the settee when they came on screen _ which was in black in white in those days.

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
