Tired; So very tired

Desperately in need of a good night's sleep right now! Last night's work and the night before's study are starting to take their toll after the long Tuesday night movie. This is the longest 4 day week ever!

Sydney FC's ACL match got rained out, postponed due to a flooded pitch. The Indonesian field had no undersoil drainage system, so when a storm broke 90 minutes before kickoff the water just pooled on the surface. The local groundskeepers, police and volunteers tried to clear the pitch using a single pump, supplemented with brooms and using the advertising hoardings to try and sweep the pitch clear of water, but when another storm broke it was all over. Match to be replayed at 1:30 this afternoon Sydney time, so I think I'll head down to watch it next door while eating my lunch. Sydney needs to win or their hopes of progressing are pretty slim since only the top team out of four progresses!
