August 24th lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Tip-top bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk.

THE Walk to Work. It was down the legendary Taff Trail this morning. Quite a few joggers were out and about and so were the cyclists.
A rope still hangs from a grand tree just off the trail as you pass the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens _ which has thousands of extra seats installed for next week's England v Pakistan limited overs match.

Lunchbox. Not required today as in around 30 minutes of writing this I will be in corporate trough in a nice restaurant [at this moment still unknown] with a very nice chap from Dublin who runs his own PR company here in Cardiff.

Charlie Chaplin

"I am really bored with all those comedians down there who admire me as a film-maker etc, etc, but make out I was never funny, but Laurel and Hardy were and all that stuff.
"I was a huge international star and was very funny in the context of the time and the silent movie genre. So please no more silly little comments... and remember I never had the crutch of canned laughter."

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.

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
