   It was great because apart from having quite a lot of Picasso's art it also had a lot from his own collection which had many other famous artists works.

One of the paintings that was there... Although the pinkish sections outside the painting (unfinished bits) were actually white which looks much better. (I'll fix it when/if I have the time).

• Updated sitemap.

OTHER:
• Saw 'Taken'***1/2, starring Liam Neeson. I almost didn't go to see this one at the cinemas because I expected it to be a boring ,generic, hollywood revenge story. Boy was I wrong! I loved it!

Also remembered 'Centipede' and 'Dig Dug'. There's a really comprehensive site if you're into that sort of thing: www.klov.com

• Feeling the post holiday blues - back to work tomorrow : (
• Learned that even serious diving watches which are water proof (to some serious depths) should never be worn in the shower! Seems logical when pointed out (steam can get into places where water under pressure can't) but it never occured to me that I shouldn't wear my water-proof watch in the shower!
• Learned that if you want to upgrade your mobile phone software you shuld remove the memory card first! The Nokia Software Upgrader I used didn't mention you should remove the memory card and now my mobile can't access the mem-card anymore.
