Long weekend

Labour Day is back where it belongs!

For the 6 years I was living in Melbourne I got caught by Labour Day being in March not October. How you can forget a long weekend I'm not really sure but I can only claim that my brain refused to process any holiday in March apart from Easter. One year I really did put a Postit note on my steering wheel saying "don't go to work" as I'd spent the whole of Friday trying to get things set up for Monday only be be told about 100 times that no-one would be there.

The flip side of that is I would get to late Sept. and be really, really looking forward to an extra day only to have my hopes dashed when I realised it wasn't going to happen. We did get Melb Cup day off but somehow it's not the same, especially as it's a Tuesday.

So it's Monday, I'm home relaxing and my mother was right, the weather is horrible - a cold wind and tipping down rain. Apparently one of the very few predictable things in life is this, Labour Day Monday will be wet.
