lunchbox 22 March

BREAKFAST:
Weetabix with semi-skimmed organic semi-skimmed milk
Walk to Work:
Not happening today as I have taken a day's holiday to look after our nearly 11 month old daugther Isabella who is not too well.
We spend about an hour out walking around our local park Llandaff Fields.. some 1.5 miles from the centre of Cardiff.
Well half way around a chat approached with two kids sporting Welsh rugby scarves and hats and asked me if I knew the best way to get to Millennium Stadium. Of course I did and told him so.
But some people enjoy deliberately giving wrong directions to people, particuarly tourists.

Lunch:
Not had much to time to think about this, but I might have a baguette with salmon and rocket.


Random Thought


August 1975: My brother Mark and I have a 4 hour long game of monopoly.
So what?
Okay we also had a cricket world cup in our small garden in Grangetown, Cardiff, with all the teams who were competiting in the inaugural one day tournament of that summer.
If the ball hit the wall on either side without bouncing it was a six and if it bounced en route to the wall it was four.
From memory I believe that East Africa beat the West Indies in the final. Not sure if I was playing the part of East Africa or the Windies
My brother had all the scores from all the matches written out neatly in a book. I think it took us a couple of days to complete. Not sure what happened to the book.

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. RANDOM THOUGHT 2333: Adam and Eve are brought back to life (don't ask me ho...
