September 12 lunchbox




Have been suffering from blogitis... but have made a full recovery to post my first entry for a while today.






Me Isabella and Noddy at Margam Park last Saturday.
Breakfast:
Do as you're told bowl of Weetabix with semi-skimmed organic milk. Before breakfast it was a run around my local park, Llandaff Fields.
Walk to Work:
Not on the agenda this week as I away from my venue of income generation... and so is Mrs B. Just chilling out and getting out and about, including a trip to Bath yesterday.
Lunch:
I made a pretty impressive omelette on a bed of brown toast.
Random Thought

I am not a great swimmer. And it always surprises my how poor my technique is when I see octogenarians whistling past me doing what seems like a very modest breast stroke pace. I am much better at running, but a Seb Coe? Well certainly not.
So how many swimming goggles have I owned in my life. My gut instinct is that it's about 10

good to see the blog up and running (in the manner of Lord Sir Seb no doubt)and is going swimmingly. (enough puns -Ed.)
The boys down the station were getting anxious. Fireman Vasquez was even forced to develop a cocaine addiction.
Anyways, back to saving lives.
Fireman Anderssssson from Oslo wants to know which one is you in the picture.

Thanks Fireman Taff.

Was just wondering if you have a pool table, or even better a snooker table, at your fire station?

My highest snooker break was years ago in a very shady place above one of the arcades in the centre of Cardiff. You would have had a field day on the fire regulations!

Oh yes my break was 35. What about you?

Ps I am Noddy.

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.
