August 8 lunchbox


Breakfast :
Steak and chips and bottle of rum.... come on Sion can you please be serious?

Okay it was a cereal extravaganza. A mixture of Weetabix, Special K and porridge oats with cold semi-skimmed organic milk.

Walk to Work:
Not on the radar today, as I have a few days off for working last Sunday and a number of recent Bank Holidays... which is not when Barclays staff jets off for two weeks in Barbados.

After 95% successful shopping errand we travel out of Cardiff [Mrs B doesnt work Wednesdays] to Plugs' nice abode in the village of Trumpton, or for ordnance survey map purposes Draethen.

A good deed I had in mind by cutting a roadside bank of grass. It needed quite a few extension leads from the house, but the old Flymo got off to a flying start.
But after 10 minutes, I sensed that the machine wasn't really cutting the mustard. And I was horrified to see a whole bunch of smoke coming out of its motor. Oh dear! I had to use the hand shears to finish the job, with Plug putting a brave face on things. Once it cools down I'm sure it will be fine, she said.

But I'm not sure the on FireMo will recover.

In the afternoon we went to our local park with Isabella. Came across my Uncle Peter and Aunty Anne, with their three grandchildren and daughter-in-law Katie. Much time chatting and pushing of swings.


Random Thought

Dear Lawnmower it is 12 hours since I last used a FlyMo and these are my sins!

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
