September 27 lunchbox

Breakfast:

Just a "deal with it" bowl of Shreddies with semi-skimmed cold organic milk.

Walk to Work:
It was down Cowbridge Road East which takes you rapidly along into the centre of Cardiff. Californians would have real issues with it's down beat nature, but I'm not particularly bothered by that.

At 10am I hooked up with Welsh finance wizard Harry Lewis [pictured above]. We had a very nice coffee... with Lucy from Swansea, who is not with the GMB union!


Harry is a keen diarist and has penned a daily entry since he was 18. He is currently in dicussions with a New York publishing house. Harry has shed quite a bit of weight too... some 16 pounds to be exact in the last few months. But I would love to read Harry's entry about the telecommunications sector in Shropshire!



As for Harry and the credit crunch... let's just say it's best not to go there.

Now Harry is a very competitive soul, which is a good trait to have. We once had an entralling round of golf at Royal Porthcawl many years ago, when I beat him by one hole after a sublime 18ft putt on the 17th. Anyway perhaps a game of tennis next.


Lunch
4 ham and salad sandwiches
1 banana
1 Rachel's organic yoghurt

Random Thought:

2008: Harry Lewis makes a killing with his new cereal "Credit Crunch" For those toxic debt subprimers one spoonful and they go a little bit more than "Snap, crackle and pop!"

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.
