No Sanctuary

So The Walking Dead returns for its fifth season, and what an amazing opening No Sanctuary was. From the slaughtering of the survivors early on to the reuniting of Carol and Tyrese with the main group it was a biggest televisual ride since the epic prison standoff. Taking me from horrific repulsion to tearful happiness inside an hour, this was packed with the usual amazing visual effects. Carols character really shone in this episode, something she has been doing a lot of in recent times developing into a tough heroine rather than the weedy housewife of Season 1 and 2. Daryl Dixon probably got the best melee zombie kill since Michonne’s wire garrotting routine, which was executed (pardon the pun) with awesome realism.

Deviating quite a lot from the nutters on the farm in the computer game we get a slight glimpse of what drove the ‘Termites’ (Terminus survivors) the way they went. I feel this reason didn’t quite work for me but that’s just a minor personal quibble.

All in all, expectations were high and they cast and crew nailed it once again showing that The Walking Dead is one of or in my eyes, the… best program on the box in recent years and it still deliver. 10/10

Weekended

Have had a lovely weekend. Have so many ideas buzzing around at the moment and plenty of things to keep me occupied at home including an idea for a new Fighting Fantasy adventure which I could probably type up like Mr Lain has with his. Diane and Gin stopped over and Saturday we went to Whisby Nature Park. Was a very brief visit due to the rainy weather but hope to go back there sometime when its dry. Need to get them daffodil bulbs out too now.

This past week has been rather nice. Started dating with Diane, got loads done out in the back garden too. Planted a few spring bulbs in for next year as well… I think bulbs and meadow seed are the way forward because of our tight budgets. Just need to keep on top of it all. The hedgehog is still making appearances, even Diane’s dog, Gin managed to spot him scurrying off. This week has also seen Mr Lain send off his adventure to the Fighting Fantasy website. Hope its up there soon, having proof read it for him its quite a unique storyline and I hope to see more. Speaking of which I have at least 3 books to read as well so may have to crack on with those soon.

Went to Grantham yesterday and met my lovely Diane and the wonderful Gin. We had a great time walking him around Bourne woods. There was plenty of wildlife, from squirrels to dragonflies it was amazing. Nice and sunny too. We took several photo’s each including one of a frog! Really hope we meet up again. Like an idiot I didn’t think to stop off for a drink and snack so went nine hours without either. I ate a hearty meal when I returned home and washed it down with some Stella Artois Cidre. Of course this reboot to my digestive system knocked me out at just 9pm. Who cares, great day indeed !!!

Looking Up

Not as bad as the title and cliche suggests but big thanks to ‘them’ I’m well chuffed with it and will get an order in shortly for more.
My last day at work for a week and looking forward to some time off. Moods have been a bit dodgy again lately so hope to come back to a better atmos. Finished reading You Are The Hero by Jonathan Green last night. Still a thrill seeing my name in print. I hope he does a similar project someday. Got three new Fighting Fantasy books to read of course so will be throwing some hours in their direction. Payday only a week and a half away now. Just hope my omeprazole supply holds out till then. Got to pay Mr Aukett off for his contributions. My overtime should cover that. Need to start saving for Xmas now too. I like it but…ruddy hell. Should atheists really be taking part? 😉 Guess so on the commercial side of it. What is myrrh anyway…think somebody I met recently knows.
