May 21 lunchbox

BREAKFAST:
Miraculous bowl of Weetabix with semi-skimmed cold organic milk.

Walk to Work:

It was again down Cowbridge Road East, which leads one into the centre of Cardiff. There are some historic sites along the way including the house where Ivor Novello was born. Crossing Canton Bridge, which takes you over the River Taff, a regal Swan could be seen below.

I then opted to travel along the river way walk with runs riverside along the length of the Millennium Stadium.
Lunchbox:
2 cheese rolls [mild organic cheddar]
1 Rachel's organic yoghurt
1 apple
1 banana
some grapes
Random Thought

Pigs are the salvation of the world!
What the hell are you talking about Roger?
They are so clever.... they're just waiting
Roger... please you're making a complete fool of yourself.
Okay Bill I will, but the pigs are coming and there will be no stopping them!
I think it's best that you shop at another butcher's from now on Roger.

Hi Sion.

Big fan of the blog. When I was walking across Canton Bridge this morning, I saw two regal swans. Unfortunately they both had their heads under the water. It looked very odd, and I've certainly never seen behaviour like that before. Do you think they were trying to kill themselves because they are so disappointed with the monotony of their lives? Think about it. Do you think that's true? You never see them anywhere except the section of the Taff between Blackweir and the Millennium Stadium. That must get pretty boring after a time.

Hello,

Swan suicide pact?

I think they have far too much going for them for such drastic action.
In terms of terrain, that's quite a stretch of waterway and with no competition.

I think they are well happy having had a great winter somewhere far warmer than here.

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.
