July 23 lunchbox



My mother-in-law Jayne, aka Plugs, fully embraces the concept of there is "no such thing as a free lunch."
She spent four hours yesterday doing a splendid job sorting out our garden... I would have helped but was generating income!
Breakfast:
Pretty impressive bowl of Branflakes with semi-skimmed cold organic milk. A glass of water and a cup of tea.

Walk to Work:
What a surprise it was raining again today here in South Wales. Had to first drop Isabella off at nursery as Mrs B is still poorly... oh boy what a cough!
It was down Cowbridge Road East with my trusty umbrella and I have to admit, slightly dodgy looking rain mac.
Lunchbox
4 chicken and stuffing brown bread sandwiches
1 banana
1 apple
1 nectarine
1 M&S raspberry yoghurt

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
