March 20 lunchbox

BREAKFAST: Bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed organic milk.
Walk to Work: It was down the Taff Trail this morning, where I was glad to be wearing my overcoat as it was quite chilly... you old woman you!

Sun was glistening off the River Taff below and diggers of all description were beavering away at the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens, where a new 17,000 seater arena is being constructed.

Wildlife: Pretty low key this morning, apart from the odd crow on the ground looking for food.

Lunchbox
4 ham and tomato sandwiches
2 digestive biscuits
1 Rachel's organic yoghurt
1 banana
1 apple
1 satsuma
Random Thought
This picture was taken last year and I cannot find for love nor money one of the blue coolers. Not sure which is missing as they are identical and was not sad enough to mark them individually.
25 years later: I get a call from the Chinese embassy in London to say that the missing cooler has been found at the birth place of Chairman Mao.
I am 66 years old and living in San Luis Obispo... and not had a lunchbox for more than a decade.

Just a quick thought, Sion. You mention the cooling unit has gone missing, but you also don't seem to make much use of the mini lunchbox - formerly used for thinly sliced kiwi fruit and strawberry - very often these days. I trust it hasn't also gone missing.

Isn't it amazing how one year can age a person?

Anyway, I agree with Sue. I used to enjoy watching as you devoured those patiently-crafted slices of kiwi and strawberry. It was an absolute joy. Any chance of them making a comeback? I notice you've grown more of a fondness for lemon cake and the like, perhaps a reason for your premature ageing?

Hi Sue,

Yes the mini lunchbox is still with us... thank the Lord!
Perhaps it's time for slice kiwi fruit and strawberries to make a come back.
I will be shopping in Tesco's at a very early hour on Saturday so will investigate.
Have a fruitful evening

Hi Chris,

Lemon cake and the like? Yes I am becoming a middle-aged porker.

This is just the wake up call I need

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.
