That's a fair reward for your efforts. Think of it as 'just desserts.'

I was up in that sort of direction this weekend doing oktoberfest with friends - great day out (we opted for the sunday arvo session which was more restrained) with the only downer being that the beer wasn't german. Atmosphere was good though. We were stuck at the rydges between the showgrounds and fortitude valley - man, living in the country i'd almost erased the smell of piss stained streets. Fortitude valley is obviously named for that smell! : )

Before we got there though we spent some time with the mother in law a bit further south and we got an amazing feed at a place called Athenias located in this weird precinct on the edge of a man made lake called Emerald Lakes. Its like a strange florence-esque type theme all through the place with a 1:1 statue of David in the middle of it all. The nephew and niece were a bit rowdy though and i was expecting a hand delivered note from the local body corporate in triplicate. But that greek food? Kisses fingers emoji

This reminds me of a great cheap Greek place I found way out in the boonies. In a carpark somewhere out near Wynnum Manly. Amazing food, and great prices. Unfortunately I dont have fond memories of the place because we went there after our dog died.
