A treasure hunt amongst the old treasures.

Grayson Perry, Who are you? At the National Portrait Gallery.

Some words:

The queen, posh and becks, chris huhne, cheddar, some bloke off the xfactor, a hijab, the archers, the class divide, transexuality, war, vases.

Amoungst…

margaret thatcher, earls, arthur scargill, ladies, princess Diana, kings, prince Charles, queens.

Go. It’s free, all that.

Cheers,

Martin

And now my daddy…

You can go to Glasgow. It’s good.

Some words…

@glasgowgoma museum of modern art.

One floor was shut.

Guest blogger Alyssa Russo as I was running round fields and daddy was doing libdems…

Some words: Glasgow in decay, Glasgow not in decay, satyrs, fossils, Egyptian burial regimes, brown bears, Himalayan bears, wild boars, disembodied heads, OTs helping veterans, Scottish colourists v French colourists, Dutch ships, Dali and the dizzying heights of Christ

I have to say I was taken, quite taken, with the white stormy ones… Like I was in a white storm.

Amazing, just amazing this place.
London.
I mean the parks are lovely enough.
Squirrels, sunsets, trees.
But you can have a nice run.
And see art.
Because that’s how great London is.
There are photos.
War locations.
In St James Park.
And is just great.

Cheers,

Saw that Virginia Woolf.
National Portrait Gallery?
That’s the one.

“She responded to london at many levels for it offered multi sensory experience and intellectual stimulation and made her aware of the mutability of the self.”

Very much as I do, love.

Random shards of story…

*****

“What was that like?”

He told us, the actor, about an argument he had with his girlfriend.

They made up.

*****

“Can we have the next shard please?”

Some words: hoops, poles, dogs, boats, a cyclops, beautiful singing, rhyming, 1984, interactive, fragments, leather jackets, Colin Heinink, Riverdance…

*****

“Can we have the next shard please?”

A member of the audience had been to Bangkok and there has been a revolution and there are small acts of rebellion.

Like reading 1984 on a train.

*****

“Can we have the next shard please?”

Audience Odysseus.

My daddy had to step into the performance.

He was ok.

*****

“Can we have the next shard please?”

But for me the best bit was just being read to.

See we went last year and we felt “mixed.”

*****

But being in it is better.

It really was a great feeling to be sparkled up and dancing while the crowds watched and smiled.

What rain?

It did get a bit hairy in Ladbroke Grove and the parade merged with the crowd.

But smiley.

What rain?

When you get home you can have a refreshing polish beverage, a hot bath, a nice chat about public services with your beautiful significant other, beautifully cooked pasta prepared by your beautiful significant other and a horror film in bed.

You can.

Cheers,
