January 4 lunchbox


One of the biggest hits this year for Isabella was Mr Tickle. I had a bread maker from my parents. Sandwiches in my lunchbox today came from its maiden bread... simply delicious

Overheard two conversations en route to work this morning. One behind was between two women, who were returning to work after the Christmas Holidays.

Women one: "To be honest I was bored last year and wanted to get back to work."

Friend: "Yeah I know. "

Woman one: " Not this year though, just loved every minute. "


20 minutes later on the riverway walk which runs alongside the Millennium Stadium.

A guy in I guess his early 20s talking on his mobile phone.

"She just don't know wenna stop [consuming alcohol]. She just blows up and don't understand why she's sick. When I feel sick I just has a glass of water like and I'm fine like... and bang I'm off again on the vodka."

I nearly came to grief on a sheet of ice a few minutes later on the walkway... it is quite a challenge to walk on these icy mornings of late in South Wales.

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.
