Can celebrate

The gourmet gluttony continued at the new Bavarian Beer Cafe in the Entertainment Quarter. Marinated baby octopus with Greek salad, mixed char-grilled sausages with mashed potato and sauerkraut, pear and raisin pancakes with rum ice-cream, and three glasses of Franziskaner Lemon Weissbeer - all served by a chatty Derbyshire lass - filled me up a treat.

Then CM, AM, PB2 and I took our seats at the Sydney Football Stadium for the Hyundai A-League grand final. The Central Coast Mariners had been well-deserved minor premiers, but my Newcastle United Jets can beat anyone on their day - and did!!!!!!! When the ultimate whistle blew it was us 1, them 0. I was standing, applauding, holding back the tears.
