Zombies and Beaches
Last Sunday saw the restart of a favourite tv show. The Walking Dead. The quality of the writing is superb, and the zombie make up and 'special effects' ie gore, is of the highest quality. It is remarkable how a show like this is in the mainstream media.
And to celebrate the shows return, I saw it at the Cinema!

The tickets were free and on a first come first served basis. They used the television channel feed so we got the adverts, but it was a thrill to see it on the big screen.
Wednesday I had a second interview with HP. This time a telephone interview with three people. It was all over within about 20 minutes and I think I did well. I had over prepared the previous day and had numerous notes all laid out, but I did not need to refer to them. I'll find out at some point if I've been successful or not.
The next day I spent the day at Vickys office as we were then on a road trip to Virginia Beach.

Vicky wanted to meet up with an old school friend as they were moving back to California. Originally the plan was to stay in two hotels. The first one near to the court for Vickys juty, and the next hotel in the same area as her friend. Fortunately the jury duty was cancelled, and she rebooked. And the new hotel had a hot-tub! $170 for three nights, thank you very much.
Being February, the place was almost a ghost town, but we managed to find good places to eat, thanks to meeting up with an old work friend of my Wifes.
This is the view from our room. Looks just like Tynemouth!
On the Friday we went to the cinema, and I had my first IMAX experience. Journey 2 was the film, and I was very impressed with the screen size and audio.
