September 7th lunchbox



WAS up at 6.30am for a run around my local park Llandaff Fields... felt good this morning.

Breakfast: Very hearty bowl of 3 Weetabix with semi-skimmed cold milk.



Walk to Work: It was down the Taff Trail which follows the lethargic River Taff into the centre of Cardiff.
Came across a blue tent just off the trail, nestled up against a large tree. From inside came a loud cough.


Lunchbox: Not required today as I as back in the corporate trough!

Random Thought



INSIDE this bin is an unopened letter, addressed to Sir Terry Matthews _ the telecommunications billionaire.
It was penned by a certain Andrew Davies, the Welsh Assembly's Minister for Enterprise, Innovation and Networks.

So how did it get there and what is in the letter?.... to be continued

“Good to see you back, happily, in the corporate trough. I miss it dearly.

Can I suggest a new strategy for your eating during the day. I worry that you seem to eat too quickly and then leave yourself exposed to possibility of a debilitating hunger later in the day. For instance, the digestives (or other sundry biscuits) seem to be usually finished by about 11.00 and then you rush straight into lunch, finishing everything by 12.30 or 1.30 at the latest. My concern is that you have precious little to sustain you during the long afternoon.

Could I suggest the following please?

Eat the damn fruit (it's not really food anyway)in the morning - get the boring stuff over with.

And then.

And this is the critical bit. Save the sandwiches for a proper lunch-break (and walk around) at about 1.00pm. You will then have the biscuits to look forward to at about 4.00 (with a cup of strong tea) that will help through to tea-time.

Just a suggestion.”

Hope that this helps.

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
