Roast pork dinner on the night of the Men's Singles Final of the Australian Open

Jack competed in the 12/13 Years Boys event on the 1m board today. He came in fourth overall which was a great result. Jack's first diving competition was a huge learning curve for us all but now we have a better understanding of what is involved and how they are run.
Liane and Peter came over tonight for dinner. We are in a motel room with only a microwave and toaster available. However, we have Allan - cook extraordinaire!! We had pork roast with broccolini, roast potatoes and roast pumpkin. The Cobb Cooker (heat bead oven) came into its own. It can cook a whole roast dinner in one go and is superb. Liane and Peter brought dessert (vanilla cheesecake with strawberries and cream) which was enjoyed by all.
Interest in the Men's Singles Final of the Australia Open was high and so the game was on so we could keep tabs on the score. The final was played between Novak Djokovic (Serbian) and Andy Murray (Scottish) and the games/sets were neck and neck. A close match finally won by Djokovic.
It was a great evening with a fantastic dinner and wonderful company.
