Hi, I'm Frankie. The Mayfairy is that cartoon chick. She controls my thoughts and my pen. This sounds a lot more ominous than I originally intended...

  • I had a major breakthrough yesterday on a thing that I can't really talk about. So it's a great subject for an Instagram caption. Yep. Here, have a rhino with a suspect horn instead. It will distract you while I smile broadly about the thing I can't really go into over here...
  • Is it Thursday today? Who can be sure any more. On the positive side: at least you're not holding up a building with your head. I hope.
  • I seem to have a thing for scheduling annoying medical stuff on Friday afternoons. Last week, cervical smear. This Friday it was the dentist. He told me I'm brushing too aggressively and messing up my gums. I'm pretty sure this is because I always brush my teeth in the morning with my iPod blaring dance tunes while shaking my ass in time to the music. It wakes me up. This must be what Michael Jackson was on about when he said "blame it on the boogie".
  • Say hello to brick face. It is Friday. I have organised a mission to take multiple forms of public transport to go get huge amounts of Chinese food. Basically, I'm going to eat Chinese food all weekend, but not the usual stuff that's available nearby. The really, really good stuff that moved to another location coz Greenwich rents are crazy. I'm ridiculously excited about this. THINK OF THE NOODLES!
  • I had the best day hanging out with @londonkiwiemma @globetrotterpostcards and Pocahontas in Gravesend, Kent. Come March it's been 400 years since Pocahontas died and was buried in Gravesend, so we went over for a day by the seaside, tea and cake. I even asked the vicar where the racoon was buried. So much good blog fodder.
  • I found this wee fella at Osterley Park – one of those big old mansion houses that you walk around looking at rickety stuff and servants quarters. I love him. He's lucky that I don't own him, as I'd probably have this need to see how many Maltesers I could fit in his mouth. It's probably not the kind of thing one should smear chocolate all over...
  • Staring at Wednesday like WHY AREN'T YOU FRIDAY?! This is the problem with actually getting stuff done. I feel like I've done a week's worth of work already, yet here we are with a big plate of Wednesday in front of us. Madness.
  • Been on a wild ride. Birthday, ridiculous unexpected expenditure, masses of life admin. Maybe everything can go back to normal now? Or, maybe, better than normal? Also, there's a skull in a wall somewhere round Mayfair. Ish. Don't ask me, I'm too busy to take it all in.
