Bugger. Did a big post about my zombie plan but lost it. The walkers may have chewed through my connection.
Anyway, in case anyone's still out there, here it is again.
I have a roof hatch so would get up there. I realise most, if not all, of my neighbours will have turned (TBH I think the woman across the road already has) and may have retained the memory of frolicking on their own roof terraces and would lurch into my way but no longer in that familiar bottle of Albarino kind of way.
DH has an air rifle and is a great shot. I've never tried and think I'd be better off turning it round and using it as a club. Anyway it's going to be left here at all times because I'm about most of the time.
If I told DH about my plan he would definitely tell me to save myself, but I won't, because if he's out when the zombies come he'll have enough on his plate without me bothering him.
I could run to the end of the road across the roofs and about 500 yards round the corner. At that point I'd be a bit stuffed because there's a big gap to the next house.
So I'm thinking of getting a grappling hook and at least 200ft of nylon rope. Also some crampons or similar to secure the rope to the starting edge. Do Blacks do crampons? Are Blacks still going? Should I have got the crampons before? I bet they were a good price in the closing-down sale.
I have plenty of good quality wooden coat hangers that I could use to whizz across the gap. Not quite sure how I'd get the rope back. Probably need a lot more rope. I've got loads of coat hangers.
I'd continue across the roofs, taunting the zombies with my whizzy progress, on the way to a tall building that's going up like a weed about a mile away. I always thought it was hideous - it looks like a Seattle Space Needle of Restricted Growth - but I'm beginning to appreciate its zombie-proof qualities.
I haven't done anything about food or water. I realise I have to think about this a lot more.
