yes, I'm just being a bit of a luddite here, they are great for emergencies, especially useful if the car breaks down, etc. Ive just got a bit of a thang about them, its just me.

The artist and her work are entwined yes, particulary as Frida's work is entirely informed by the events in her life. If you really like what you know of her paintings and are intrigued by them, then yes I think you would like this book, no special 'knowledge of art' required at all! It is for...

It isn't April 1st is it? Why a squirrel? Bonkers, pure bonkers...I don't even understand the reasoning behind it. Dressing up technology to make it more friendly, less stressful? Huge amounts of stress on holiday caused by the mobile phone? Leave it at home then..Once upon a time we were...
