Been in bed the last 36 hours with what I hope is a flu. Posting at 5.50 because now I’m wide awake. Recording the cricket because I don’t think I’ll get through it. Adrenaline will get me through the match. COYC

Just catching the train into Melbourne. Packed with cricket fans. Meeting up with fellow Clarets, some over from Burnley. Few prematch beers, then 11:30pm kick off.

Itching for these next 5 hours to fly by, then an hour to soak up the atmosphere on the preshow, volume up, beers etc. Hope you all have a great derby day.

2 year old woke me up at 6, which woke the puppy up, so I’ve been for a wander through the woods with the pup.
Now having a brew and watching thunderbirds with the two year old.
Breakfast at 7, iron my clothes and shower then watch the cricket final before I get picked up for the pub at 9ish

I’m going to take the 8 year old to the memorial at 11, then wander round to the turf, hopefully avoid the lively lot going on, so going to get on early and have a beer on there before the game

Quick tug then jump in shower.
Slice of toast and then out the door for an hour and half drive to land around 9:30 and sing about Jack Walker all day.

Got two young nephews on a sleep over last night, so this morning they're up early and playing games on their tablets, hence why I'm on here.
Just about to make chucky eggs and soldiers, it's been 3 weeks since I last dipped soldiers in a egg. Just thought I'd let you know.
