We’re not in work today because it’s Anzac Day here in Australia. April 25th, whichever day it falls on, is a public holiday.
It’s really poor form that Britain can’t do the same thing, making 11th November a bank holiday rather holding the Remembrance Sunday ceremony on the nearest Sunday. And don’t get me started on why St George’s Day isn’t celebrated. >:p
Anyway, it’s nice having a Wednesday off work. We haven’t made any plans, but the weather is really nice so we’ll decide what to do later, maybe a walk and a picnic in Jell’s Park.
The other good thing about having today off is that I could get up ridiculously early this morning to watch the United vs Milan game live without the problem of being tired at work for the rest of the day. (:|
With so many first team players out injured (Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Park and Saha), I honestly expected United would be torn apart by Milan but we played really well and deserved at least a draw. Gattuso, Nesta and Kaka stood out for Milan. Once again I have to say Fletcher played very well and Rooney’s last-minute winner was fantastic, really setting things up for the second leg next week.
I can really see United going all the way to Athens — hopefully against the Scousers — but I’d be more than happy with just the league this year, to knock Chelski off their perch. 😉
One slight concern is that five United players are one booking away from a ban: it would be unfair if Ronaldo or Scholes (again) missed the final because of a silly yellow card next week.
