April 14 lunchbox

Breakfast:
Amazing bowl of Shreddies with semi-skimmed cold organic milk, I kid you not.
Walk to Work:
It was down Cowbridge Road East which carries taxpaying and non taxpaying citizens alike into the centre of Cardiff. You could go the other way, but that would take you towards the Ely suburb of the city, where once there were several days of rioting all over the price of a loaf of bread in a corner shop.
Lunchbox:
4 ham, tomato and salad sandwiches
A medley of strawberries, grapes and raspberries [ top draw!]
1 apple
1 banana
2 chocolate digestive biscuits
A vision of the Virgin Mary [I just made that up]
Random Thought:
There are many people at income generation venues around this planet who give the impression of being busy, but are really not.
I have found that pretending to be busy when you are doing zero, is probably the hardest of all.

mary sometimes appears in MY toast.

i'm NOT kidding.

see, mr. barry, i'm latina and she really like us . . . a lot . . . my peeps, that is. what with being oppressed and all.

i mean, just the other day i couldn't find a parking spot near the entrance to the mall and i was like, "i bet it's because i'm latina." then, lo and behold, mary appeared in my toast. or maybe it was a monarch butterfly . . . i can't remember now . . . but then the next time i went to the mall, guess what?

YES! a parking spot RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENTRANCE.

true story.

Yes parking in the US can require divine intervention.

I have been to LAland a few times and I have to say that I don't like driving on your freeways. Unfortunately public transport is not so good.

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.
