Hi Alex,
I often work from home, hence my posting at any time of the day or night
- I plan to set up a 24h service as soon as I retire BTW. The office
auto reply was a joke about yours.
The Kiss - my younger son, then aged 9 was moody on that day when we
visited the museum - he rushed forward, probably in the secret hope we'd
walk out in his strides. But we didn't. After about 20mn he came back
and said; hey, you should come over there, there's something fantastic.
No need to continue I guess , this was it!
I don't know if you're interested in architecture too - most probably
you are - but there's a funny place in Wien where Hundertwasser
(spelling most unsure) built appartment buildings that are also worth
trying a shot or too. Do you know the place?
Still about Klimt; there was something n the papers not so long ago
about an American heiress of Klimt's who successfully claimed back part
of some collections - which? I have forgotten.
Well, if you find more photos to share, let us know about it, would you?
Yours
Phil...x
