October 20th lunchbox
BREAKFAST: Three Weetabix with semi-skimmed cold milk.
Last night: Was out for a few drinks with the two Ians: Courtney and Williams.
Anyway, as we were standing around a table in a bar in Cardiff two women decided to join us. They were Jill and Alison - two midwives from the Birthing Centre at Caerphilly Miners' Hospital.
Have to say they were in remarkably good form, considering they had been out drinking since midday!
Both said they recognised me. Anyway, to cut a long umbilical cord short, Alison was on duty the night my daughter Isabella was born back in May... and Jill was around for the next five days until my wife and Isabella came home.
The 2 Ians loved it when they thought I was 47! and looked like Hugh Laurie.
Minutes later Jill fell down [off her stool], but fortunately didn't break her crown. Ian C gallantly managed to get her to her feet. We left soon after, but not before I thanked them again for doing such a brilliant job with Mr B and Isabella.
Walk to Work: Down the legendary Taff Trail where the River Taff below was moving at quite a speed. Nearly collided with a cyclist whose bell was only sounded when he was a few feet behind me.
Lunchbox
2 digestive biscuits
4 ham and salad sandwiches
1 banana
1 apple
1 Cherry flavoured yoghurt
All gone by 12.30pm
Random Thought
2012: Ian Williams, formerly the head of International Business Wales and Wales's greatest living civil servant, the affable Gareth Hall, take Gold in the London Olympics in the synchronised swimming.
In 2011 the talented duo undertake the necessary surgery to become the two beauties pictured above.
The cheeky pair finance the surgery with £10m of unspent Convergence Fund loot they stumble across in two brief cases hidden away at the bottom of a cupboard in the office of Sir John Shortridge.
Have a good lunch and a terrrific weekend

Comments
Is Gareth Hall a friend?
Well I cannot speak for Gareth, but I would say we are on very friendly terms, but not friends in the sense that I would call around his house and then go for a few beers or watch the ballet.
Although, having said that, sometimes I do see Gareth and his wife Moira out [like in the Cameo Club in Cardiff] and we always seem to have a good laugh
I hope that answers your question...whoever you are.
Ps Did you have a hand in Operation Tulip?
