Strange Times, Strange Mood

Knackered. Bad night's sleep...
Today, up pops a letter from the Victim Liaison Service. Unless something changes, the guy who went for me will be out of prison this year.
He got 18, cut to 12 for an early plea, cut in half provided he doesn't muck up, hence 6. Something went wrong in prison so they tacked on an extra year. I have to fill in a form, ticking a little box to let them know I don't want him to contact me! ('Dear Person, your attacker will soon be out. Would you like to be fwends?') So now it's all about the licence, a list of people he mustn't speak to, and places he can't go, in itself as positive an ID of who I am and whereabouts I live as he could get without checking the electoral roll.
Still, in honesty, he's going to want to stay away from me for the rest of his life. He's not an idiot. He knows I'm not lucky for him.
Right. Enough of all this. Mates are coming today, family tomorrow. Time to enjoy the weekend.
