February 25 lunchbox


Bad knee, ankle etc etc on account of last night stupidly trying to follow a keep fit video on the television screen, in our front room, with Mrs B.

It's a shame to see a once great athlete going out in the first heat!

Breakfast:
Just a nice and easy bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed cold organic milk,which I had to share with our 22 month old daughter Isabella.


Walk to Work:
I did manage it, but the pain... oh boy!

En route I managed to plug into a conversation for around 200 yards taking place behind me between two girls, who I am assuming were students. One was from Cuba and was talking to the other girl about salsa dancing. They were slagging off a salsa dance teacher who they described as being too arrogant and not particularly good either.

The other girl was English and said she was spending all here time Salsa dancing; which has to beat taking drugs and drinking heavily. Yes/No vote?

Lunchbox:

2 digestive biscuits
4 salmon sandwiches on organic rye bread with a hint of lemon juice
Some strawberries
a banana


RANDOM THOUGHT:



I dreamt of Dylan Thomas last night and was asking him about whether he would support a smoking ban in pubs. I was thinking he must have smelt terribly of smoke when he finally returned home from one of his legendary drinking sessions. I cannot recall his answer, but we were both enjoying a nice pint of Guinness in Greenwich Village New York. It was case of me being back with him in the 1950s.

You dreamt of Dylan and then, before you could utter Llarreggub, they go and call the baby on Coronation Street, Dylan. Your masterful powers of Nostradamus pervade our very living rooms!
Now, tell us who will score Cardiff's first goal, and who Lord Tonypandy himself would like to see succeed Michael Martin.
All proceeds to charity or thereabouts.

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.
