Thank You, Frankie!

[rhythmaning]

frankie_ecap gave me a belated birthday present last week. It wasn’t her fault it was late – she hadn’t known it was my birthday until after the day, anyhow, and we only caught up last week.

What she gave me was a poster of a bastardised version of the London tube map. Based on an artwork called the Great Bear by Simon Patterson, which renames the stations after historical figures (it is the philosophers that I remember), this version renames the stations after musicians.

It was a wonderful, thoughtful present, and it really hit the mark.

frankie_ecap had a link to a graphic of it, but I can’t find it, so if you ask nicely maybe she’ll put it in a comment…

I think it's a week of saying "Thank You!" to Frankie!

I've got that on my study wall - one of my favourites.

And it's still on my study wall (only this time not anonymously)

The only birthday present that is late is the one that never arrives.
