Quite odd in a way, as over the past couple of weeks I've been reading the book 'The Rare & the Beautiful:The Garman Sisters' and Freud is mentioned in the book due to his marriage/affairs with two of the sisters. I wondered whether he was still alive when I was reading about him and he would have been, but just by a few days. Odd isn't it?

P.S. I think the woman in the picture is Lorna Garman, who was his muse and was reputed to have been one of the great loves in his life.

I'm back now!

Oh and by the way thanks for the heads up about the 'Home of Metal' exhibition. I went last weekend and it was brilliant. The first exhibition I've been to where they've played loud heavy metal.
