Not really sure what I did for most of the day. I think it must have just been regular stuff like laundry, shopping, booking tickets and stuff like that. Anyway, in the afternoon it was time to head off to Croydon in South London to watch Crystal Palace vs. Blackpool in the Championship. It's one level down from the English Premier League, but it still got a good crowd and the stadium was alright.

| The Palace! |

| Cheerleaders, a mascot and... |
 |
| A real eagle! |

| Crystal Palace playing the 4-4-2 formation (2 mascots). |
Because there is less demand for tickets we got some good seats along the sideline about five rows back. The match was fairly entertaining, a lot of shots on goal and Crystal Palace had a bunch of chances late to win it, only to waste them all. They also had an Australian player in their starting team, but he didn't do much. Final score Crystal Palace 1 Blackpool 1. Had a look through the official store after the game, which wasn't nearly as crowded as Chelsea was.

| Somehow this wasn't a goal. |

On the way home I stopped off at the Sainsbury's supermarket for some food and had a go at the self service checkout. The machines aren't particularly difficult to use, but I often find it's a bit of a challenge to locate the slots for the money input and output. For some reason they're always in a different spot and sometimes hidden away. Anyway so I wasn't really paying attention and I went to put my notes into the first slot I found, which was where the docket paper is supposed to go :(
