Tomorrow I am off to Lahndahn tahn with forty Year 10 students to see the Picasso exhibition at my favourite gallery the National. I am hoping that it will still manage to be my favourite by the end of the day; there are some toerags in my group and I worry they will do something, get told off by a civilian and then massively overreact, or be tempted by the closeness of shopping!!! clothes!!! boys!!! and make a break for it.

Hopefully I will get to spend a few hours enjoying the smell of the oil paint and the delicious food to be had without much stress or major incident. I love both contemporary and historic art and the variety of work in the National is terribly appealing, from the weirdly composed, pre-perspective medieval works to the beginnings of abstraction at the turn of the 20th century. Inspiration and wonder aplenty, though not I am sure to a fair few of my charges...
