BREAKFAST: Magical bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed cold milk... a real winner.


In yesterday's blog entry I was struggling to maintain my position hanging from a tree. Well I got a second wind, but my technique is admittedly not the best.

In the distance? That's not a clandestine meeting of the KKK, but some people playing bowls.


Lunchbox: Off work for a week for it's washed, dried and stored away.

Lunchbox: That's some time off at the time of writing [ 7.84am GMT], but I will probably make some bruschetta using the bread I made yesterday.







And that bread is absolutely delicious.
I think I am going to make quite a bit more in the weeks, months, years ahead.

When the skies turn dark and you sense your way home.
When the greenest of the landscape is a long forgotten treasured land.... stop it immediately!

Hi Claire,

We have enough bread on this planet, but not everyone can eat it.

Trees? I think we need more of them and in the right places too.

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!

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.
