January 26 lunchbox


A little foggy this morning on account of having a few drinks last night with Mr Ian Courtney of Penarth. I found him in the Cameo Club with his friends, Gethin [who can speak around nine languages] and Gwenda. Never met them before, but they were good company.
We were later joined by Wales's greatest ever civil servant Gareth Hall, who had been down the gym with his friend from Brecon and his son who I understood to be a promising boxer.

Breakfast: Bowl of Weetabix with semi-skimmed cold milk, a pint of water and a cup of boiled water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Walk to Work: It was down the Taff Trail, where a pleasant stroll was to be had. A couple walking hand in hand in front stopped to admire an inquisitive squirrel perched on the branch of a tree just of the trail.


Lunchbox
1 piece of Mrs B lemon sponge [simply delicious}
two salmon [tinned variety] brown rolls
1 apple
1 satsuma.

The only great thing to come out of Pontypridd - a custard slice from Prince's Cafe

Hi Will,

Company I keep? It's far milder these days than years gone by.

Never been to Prince's Cafe in Pontypridd. However,I do recall one Saturday afternoon having a very good lunch in the town... I think it was a place called John and Maria's... but I might be wrong.

If I go to Pontypridd for lunch, I either take a Claaaaarksie or I gets myself a lovely Chicken Royaaaale with cheeses.

All right love?

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.
