We Did It!!!!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada, hope our Canadian readers had a good feast. Today is Eid al-Adha, hope our Muslim readers had a good festival.

We did it!! England won!!

Our football team that is. We beat Poland in the final game of the qualifying rounds. We topped our group and made it to the World Cup finals next year in Brazil. If we'd lost there would have been a hell of a lot of unpopular bus drivers, hospital cleaners & porters, and construction labourers tomorrow!! (About half of our local bus drivers are Polish migrants. And a lot of labourers are too.)

I don't know if it was a good game - I was too involved in it to be objective like that. I do know it was a bloody tense time. A draw would not have been enough to qualify. Talk about relief - when our second goal went in I'll swear my yell of YEEEEESSSSSS!! could be heard three streets away.

(S)He's football crazy, (s)he's football mad, that football it has taken away the wee bit of sense (s)he had.
