Chilli, Dragons and Roosters


Yesterday I enjoyed lunch with My during her lunch hour. My suggested we eat at Chilli Cha Cha and it was an excellent choice. It is a Thai restaurant, very cheap and popular during the lunch period that we spent there. The three dishes we shared were delicious. As a bonus there were many handsome men lunching at the restaurant. Not just young pretty boys but some really manly looking late 20s and 30s types. Some of these were clearly legals from the nearby chambers and courts and there were also quite a few casually dressed types perhaps theatrical or musical people from the nearby Capitol Theatre where Billy Elliot is playing.

This afternoon I went to the annual Anzac Day rugby league match between the Dragons and the Roosters. The match was preceded by a beautiful rendition of the Last Post by a Navy bugler. His playing brought tears to my eyes. The Dragons won the match in a huge upset.

The funniest moment of the match was just after kick off when the little boy sitting behind me asked his father whether this was 'the real match or the replay'! Talk about the influence of television on the young.
