We had to be up fairly early as we had a guy coming from Metropolitan to check the premises. They look for structural damage, damp etc. It's an annual check, lasts a couple of hours if that, a nuisance, but has to be done I guess.
So obviously we stayed in.
We haven't decided what to do tomorrow for our wedding anniversary, we might go out for a meal or Kev might cook something special. The upcoming holiday is for that reason, 30 years is milestone to say the least. So we will see what we feel like.
Other than that I made my tag for the swap, read a little, I downloaded that Bookish novel based on the Mark Gatis series on Alibi, so far so good its started well and accurate to the TV version. You can't complain for 99p in any case. That's why I love having a kindle, they are always chucking cheap books at you, Ive found the best thing to do is put what you fancy reading in your wish list and wait a bit, then you find you get posts from Amazon waving them at you for pennies. There are a few exceptions, books by Sherry Roit, Freda Warrington or the Rivers of London series I buy a
s soon as they come out. I used to be the same with Phil Rickmans Merrily Watkins books, but they went off the boil at around book 10, so I don't read them now. Patrica Cornwall was the same, I liked her Kay Scarpetta novels up until I read her dire Jack the Ripper forensic investigation book. It was so bad it made her novels seem less plausible and to be honest I think she had a bit of a breakdown after it was received so badly. But you can't twist facts to fit your hypothesis. I believe the murderer was Aaron Kosminski, but I always like to read others opinions. Hers were so left field and lacking in evidence. She was obviously obsessed with the idea that Walter Sicket was painting his victims before stalking and killing them. Yes he did paint a picture entitled Jack the Rippers bedroom, doesn't make him the killer. You may as well say Lon Chaney senior was Jack the Ripper because he used him as inspiration for the movie London After Midnight.
