So Another day in the life of the unemployed...so Zod got a job and started last week. I was very happy I got my fisrt interview on Thursday...of course completely fudged it...but I'm not going to go into that now. The interview was about five minutes walk from Tower Hill station so me liking being prepared sat the previous day and work out the shortest way to get there with the tubes...and put the map on my phone.
The interview being at three and me having been told not to be late...I left at one just to give Murphy a chance to interfere...So I take the tube from Canary Wharf to Canada Water then the East London line to Whitechapel...armed with my tube map, A-Z of London, phone and copies of my CV...all went well untill Whitechapel there I had to take the District line to Tower Hill station...only problem is that the District line runs with the Circle line so here is me on one of the platforms trying to figure out from the map if the train goes this way then will I get to Tower hill...figured out I was on the wrong platform...change platforms and get on the train...check the map...yip right way to Tower Hill...sit down and the train starts moving look at the opposite map and its turned around...now you have to wonder which way am I actually going...have a private panic untill we reach the next station and figure out that I am on the right train.
So I reached Tower Hill ... shot ... freezing cold as you can immagine from the photo's. But the immediate area around there is beautiful. The first thing you see is the above sundial with the entire history timeline around the base. The you look up and you see the castle and the Tower of London...you turn right and you see Trinity square, containing the memorials of the Maritime memorials .
On the one side of Trinity square if the former headquarters of the London Ports Authority...and as you pass the square and look back you can see Tower Bridge. As you turn back you can see All Hallows Barking...so overall a very pretty but stressfull day
