Ouch!

I should have known better than posting up an entry a few days ago about how well Wolves are doing at the front end of this season. The Karma Pixies promptly nipped across to the Molineux and hamstringed both of our wingers in the knowledge that our most prolific forward was already suspended for the game. That’s the first choice attack decimated at a stroke, then.

Still, a 3-0 defeat at home is still a touch embarrassing, especially as the opening goal was scored by our own goalkeeper who seems to have started the game with butter on his gloves.

Ho hum.

It could be worse: Reading are a good team, so I expected a tough game from them and frankly, we had to expect a setback at some point. The Blues only managed a draw, so we are still two pints clear at the top with a far superior goal difference. It’s a bit early to panic yet, but then, that’s what we Wolves fans do: look on the dark side of things even when it’s all going reasonably well.

Retirement?!

I have just discovered (via email) that the mandatory retirement age for civil servants is to be abolished. For me at least, this is great news – as much as I would love not to have to work beyond 60, I fear the thought of reduced income and too much time on my hands far, far more than I do the thought of turning up to work.

Health permitting, I should like to carry on in some capacity to at least statutory retirement and maybe past that, even.

Dear God, it seems odd talking about this, but realistically it’s not that far away in the great scheme of things.

Now I have depressed and cheered myself in equal measure, it’s time to read the newspaper.
