Today I had a lovely time with my Mum in Tate Britain. The rehang's very good for the most part - especially the room 'James Clarke Hook and Painters of the Sea' . I'd never heard of him before, or the others in the room, but the hang is stunning. On the North wall there's a lovely symmetrical arrangement of three paintings that uses a juxtaposition of styles and really has to be seen. Splendid.
I'm a tad narked by the John Martin 'Judgement' tryptic: they're too high, and the lighting reflects off the surfaces of the paintings so that you can only really see them from the other side of the room or standing directly beneath them looking up (although that is an interesting angle). In fairness, they are seriously big paintings, and (alas) don't have a high enough profile to justify special treatment, so finding somewhere for them must be a tad tricky.
Some of the Turners seem to have had a bit of a rehang too, though I could be wrong. Doesn't matter - they're still awe inspiring (how the hell is it possible to do light like that with a paintbrush?) And I've seen Blue Rigi in the flesh! It is good! Maybe not £5m's worth of good, but good nonetheless. I'm very pleased The Tate are keeping it.
Hang on, I'm danger of sounding cultured here.
NIPPLES!
There, that's better.

A whole new meaning to 'How's it hanging'
Glad you had a good day - I only ever made it to the Tate once and was gobsmacked - you Londoners don't know how lucky you are.

Rarely has a tone been lowered quite so precipitously.

If it hadn't been a simulpost, I would have managed it by the 2nd post - which would have made me quite proud actually

What can I say - thank you for your recognition - again Bel. It was indeed my fault and to you all.
Hah - I've started already.

It would mean an awful lot to her, Roy
