Yes, I love Sundays!  :D

I have a new book to read Mat it's called "The Cry From Street to Street" by Hilary Bailey. It's all about the life of Mary Kelly who returns to London in 1888 to find her two sisters. She gets caught up in the web of prostitution and was a Ripper victim....But she was wealthy apparently....

Do you love to relax on Sunday's mat? I don't watch television ever......I don't know why I bother with a licence....

Sounds like a good book, strange that you are reading that actually because I am currently reading Patricia Cornwells "Portrait of a Killer" Jack the Ripper - I love the Ripper case, very fascinating. I did a tour of the crime scenes at midnight on halloween many years ago, creepy stuff!

I love to relax on Sundays yeah but also have to have a Sunday roast!

Weird I have just emailed a friend about the Ripper walks...I love the case too. Any idea who the Ripper
might have been? I dare bet it is the most eerie of places to walk through at night time.  Let me know if the book is any good....I'll do the same with this one I am about to read.

Not had a roast today Mat, son went out to a Toby Carvery with friends....So all I have had is a cheese
sandwich.....There was a time a Sunday dinner was important to me, but not any more...

So far the book is good, it is very detailed, which I love. Patricia names her suspect.
I have no idea who the Ripper was, everytime I watch a new show or read a new book about the criems they seem to have a new suspect, and they all seem very plausible. (although I've never bought into the ripper being a member of the royal family)
The walk was creepy, the old man that walked us around the streets was very, very knowledgable and was having question after question fired at hime and answered them all with great detail and enthusiasm.
He gave us a warning at the start of the tour, that when the tour was over he was going to 'dissappear the way godo old Jack had done" which didn't make much sense at the time - but after like two hours of walking around London, being shown where the houses were, where the murder spots were.. he said something like "and then just as quickly as he started, Jack stopped, no more killings, no more letters, nothing was heard from him again.......he just dissappeared and became a legend that no one will ever truly crack!" ....then he shows us around the corner to the last murder spot.. and the old man dissappeared..there ust have been a gate or some steps or something haha......but it was creepy as hell!

Hahahaha I bet that caused a stir...

Who does Pat say the Ripper is?  I discount Albert....too. He was engaged to be married at the time, although that has no relevance at all...But he was introduced later on the 1900's as being a suspect...if memory serves me correct.....There is a Ripper case file available on the net.....Maybe one dark evening, we will have a discussion about it......

I did notice something of a patten with their deaths.....I will leave you with that and see if you spot it....lol

Walter Sickert.


Sickert took a keen interest in the crimes of Jack the Ripper and believed he had lodged in a room used by the infamous serial killer. He had been told this by his landlady, who suspected a previous lodger. Sickert did a painting of the room and titled it "Jack the Ripper's Bedroom." It shows a dark, melancholy room with most details obscured. This painting now resides in the Manchester City Art Gallery in Manchester.
In 2002, crime novelist Patricia Cornwell, in Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper—Case Closed, maintained that Sickert was Jack the Ripper.A psychological motivation for Sickert was said to be a congenital anomaly of his penis. Cornwell purchased 31 of Sickert's paintings, and some persons in the arts world have said that she destroyed one of them in a search for Sickert's DNA, but Cornwell denies having done this.  Cornwell claimed she was able to scientifically prove that the DNA on a letter attributed to the Ripper and on a letter written by Sickert belong to only one percent of the population.

I'd put my money on Sickert, too.

Its all very interesting mat. Can you remember a few years ago the police tried to get DNA from a shawl that belonged to one of the victims? Sadly, even with today's advanced technology is was unsuccessful.
I haven't  heard of him...so now I will have to google him...lol

Mat check the dates of the murders, they are significant....and to me they form a patten.

Interestingly enough I have a relative, on my ex husbands side Thomas Cutbush....who is also a suspect...he was committed into a mental home eventually for stabbing a woman in her buttocks....Twas very cheeky of him...lol

You can guess that my book is a signed copy....lololol You should check them out Mertol, well worth it in the end....Books will eventually be rare, for the kindle is taking over....which I shall never use.  I don't like being scared Mertol. I wont watch horror films or read supernatural stuff....I don;t believe in life after death, but I am a strong believer in spirit....

I'm not into green men either Mertol...I'm not even convinced man landed on the moon. Mt Gran always told  me to believe nothing unless you see it for your self.....She also told me to keep my purse full, so to deceive others into thinking i had a lot of money....I should be a major land owner, but it is sods law that it was my grandfather who had his birthright taken from him....
