The lemony travelling lemon has landed in
Koala LoompaKuala Lumpur! Travelled to KLCC and ended up with twin blisters on my heels, all for this picture of a koala + lemon + twin towers. Sorry, I couldn’t find any oompa loompas, try as I might.The second picture was taken before, when I thought I wasn’t going to have a chance to go all the way to the twin towers since it’s the edexcel exam period. Taken in my room, the pictures behind are places I’ve been to, moments I treasure very very much, (and it’s only a quarter of the wall but hahah) I had to drag my dear Leo up the stairs to my room. Let’s just say he’s not a sports-y dog. So this second pic is something that means a lot to me.
Here’s my note to The Creator of Cabin Pressure Himself:
Dear Mr John Finnemore,
Hello from the land of koalas and (unfortunately invisible) oompa loompas!
May myself just extend much amount of gratitude to yourself for entertaining ourselves with yourself’s superbly fantastically brilliantly written series of Cabin Pressure and each and every character created. Because of this superbly fantastically brilliantly written series, I have often been mistaken for a loon for crying/laughing out loud in the public - the train, while walking the dog, sometimes in the library stifled. Oh, and for photographing lemons in tourist populated areas, they probably think it’s the Koala Loompa citizens’ norm.
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU
The lemon is in play,
Daphne Ng.Also a reminder to everyone who wants to be a part of Lemons & Landmarks: hurry! Only a few more days to go!

HELL-O, it's Roger Allam here.
“Even without the introduction, the voice on the telephone, rich and yummy as millionaire’s shortbread, would be immediately recognisable as belonging to one of Britain’s best-kept acting secrets.”
I highly recomment reading this lovely interview with Roger Allam on heraldscotland.com - you know you want to.This interview is just glorious! Also wonderful to have the confirmation that Allam will be returning as Peter Mannion in the new series of The Thick of It *happy dance*

Cabin Pressure Fic Rec
My friend’s fic ‘In The Gutter, Looking at the Stars’ is really a must read. She’s posted a short first part but there are over 19,000 words so far and it’s still going. It’s a startlingly realistic and moving story with the most perfect character voices.
Summary: Douglas has spent years surviving on the streets quite happily. That is until he bumps into a young, ginger boy studying aviation and failing his practice test. It’s only frustration that makes him correct the boy. And the next time they meet. And the next…
Pairing: though Douglas / Martin is tagged, the author is very subtle with relationships and doesn’t really write sex scenes so I imagine even in the end this can be read as gen if you should so desire. I’ve read all there is so far and they are just friends at this point.
Please read and review, she really has no idea how good her writing is and will take some convincing :-P
