It's finally over (ish). Our assailant has pled guilty to all charges (Manslaughter by Diminished Responsibility + 5 counts of Attempted Murder) so there will be no trial. Just sentencing to come.
It's been a long 6 months.

Being on enforced social lockdown for 3 months has done wonders for my bank balance. Bike part shopping has just reduced that by a fair chunk 😂

Anyone have experience of PTSD?
After the incident last week I'm twitchy as hell, but I'm the sole carer for my currently injured & immobile partner.
Struggling a bit tbh & have to go back to work tomorrow.

Update: some of you may have heard about a major incident in Rochdale yesterday with a driver deliberately running down pedestrians. Unfortunately we were involved. I'm not hurt but my partner was. She will make a full recovery,but it's difficult right now.
