August 14th lunchbox



TURNING BACK THE TIDE

Have been on a retreat on the advice of blogiatrist. He suggested that I was overdosing on YouTube and should reconnect with the bloggersphere.


I was paying £50 a hour [nearly $100 US] ... but the food and air were good.


There were only a few of us there. One was a hedge fund manager from the Cayman Islands who said he had left his wife for Twitter.


Another was a young woman called Candy from Kansas... I have no idea why she was there as she didn't speak for the whole two weeks, at a former monastery in deepest Devon.


There was even talk towards the end of a crash course in Cornish, but by then I had run out of cash.



Torrential rain here in South Wales most of this week. I remember as a kid in the 1970s we hardly had any rain in August.
But I have been walking to work; arriving very wet, but in the grand scheme of things just fine.
I have taken a few lunch boxes too.


Random Thought:

Dear Mr Phelps,

Can we have a chat? You see a few years ago I sold off the UK's gold reserves at what in hindsight was a very silly price at the bottom of the market.

Ps I also need swimming lessons as I feel as if I'm drowning.

Yours Sincerely

G Brown

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
