Senoritas and margaritas

"C'mon, Jets!" I said. "C'mon, Sydney!" said CM and AM. But the Newcastle girls, led by Matildas veteran Cheryl Salisbury, couldn't be separated from their local opponents in today's W-League (female equivalent of the A-League) fixture at Campbelltown. After a heavily defensive 45 minutes, it was 0-0; following a second half with several exciting chances on both sides, 1-1. Can't complain about that - especially when entry was free.

Phase two of our operation was the Baja Cantina, a Mexican restaurant in Glebe known for its generous portions. I reckon Quatchi, the cute sasquatch mascot of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, woulda been holding his hairy belly and groaning if he consumed the amount of corn chips, fried calamari with spicy green sauce (and mixed leaves), beef chimichanga (also with salad), Tecate beer and strawberry margaritas that I did. Don't be greedy, Quatchi!
