September 1st lunchbox




Here I am with my daughter Isabella... have had a week off work and spent some great time with the family.

Breakfast: Invigorating 3 Weetabix with semi-skimmed cold milk; two pieces of toast, pint of water and a cup of tea.

This week I have recaptured the running bug.... plan my fifth in five days at midday.

When I was younger I always thought that perhaps I could make the next Olympics, probably as a 5,000 metre runner.

Now I just run to stop getting fat!

Lunchbox: As the small number of readers of this blog already know, it has been washed, dried and stored away until next week, as I have a week off work.

The weaning man is coming around this afternoon to explain how and when we should start feeding Isabella _ although Mr B has already consulted Gina Ford on this important matter.

RANDOM THOUGHT

My favourite athletes of all time include Brendan Foster, pictured above. And course in the UK we had the golden period of Coe and Ovett in the late 70s to the mid 1980s, but my number one favourite athlete of all time has to be Ray Smedley. He ran for Britain in the 1970s and didn't from memory win anything, but had a unique running style. He looked more like an accountant than a runner, but he would give it absolutely everything at a time when the sport was amateur.

Have a seriously good weekend and wondrous lunch!

Is there any chance that your lunch box menu may move (note the alliteration Sion) with the times and incorporate the health warning traffic light system so favoured by Mr Blair?

Hello,

Calorie speed cameras along the Taff Trail could be an option.

Mr Blair as a traffic warden?

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.
