Really is a gripe that Gary, sad to read about it. I've been there so know something of how you are feeling. It gets better, it really does.

The posts about a new chapter are also true, although I'm sure it does not feel like it at the moment.

Remember to take care of YOU.

Like the others say, really sorry to hear of anyone going through this stuff. Haven't been there so can only guess at the feelings, seen it with friends though. Best wishes.

Low flying pigeons.
One nearly took my head off this morning on the GSXR.

Yeah, I was over on the pigeon forums earlier and heard about that...

Couple of years ago ago had a pigeon flying doggedly down the road at me, for some reason about chest height, I kept straight hoping it would veer off, but just kept on coming, in the end i changed course a bit and it hit my LH handlebar mirror - puff of feathers and pushed my mirror back a bit. My mate was worse he has had a pheasant fly at him, missed him but not by much.

Adam,

Pigeon Pete was at it again today on my ride in. Him and his gang get right on my tits, I swear I'll have him one day. Who does he think he is, constantly standing in the middle of the road. I mean really.
I can't imagine he's paid any taxes, so what right does he have to be there.

Tomorrow I'll be on the push bike, so I should have enough time to aim for him properly.

Don't get me started on his cousin, Dave, who lives in the tree above my kids trampoline. The ******* keeps ****ting on it. I've told him it cost £400 so could he please stop. So unreasonable.
I had to cut a few branches off the tree to try and stop him. ******* bird.
I'm not even allowed to buy an air rifle and shoot him. Maybe I need to bring the GSXR in the garden.
