Third and final part here!



We're busy doin' nothin'/Workin' the whole day through/Tryin' to find lots of things not to do )


No cut here because it deserves to be seen by everyone. Behold! The ultimate Cabin Pressure picture! Bonus points if you read it very fast like a caption (Jelly Babies to manual/Talisker-Talisker/Toblerone, I could get him a Toblerone/Attention, mes amis, regardez-vous le bear polar!).

...and now Talisker instructions! )

In conclusion, fantastic journey, superb company, fantastic food, 10/10. ♥

And we're back with the second part! The last time we saw our heroes we had just spent the whole of saturday strolling around the city, shopping and eating (so much eating). The evening approached, and our two heroines reach the Globe, where a certain tempest is approaching...



And keep the crickets cheerful/They're really a solemn bunch/Hustle, bustle/And only an hour for lunch )

Third and final part here.

I'm eating shortbread, drinking kiwi juice, and regretting living inside a witch's cauldron. Time to stop complaining about the weather and getting started on my London post!



The lovely [livejournal.com profile] space_oddity_75 and I are huge Cabin Pressure fans, and when last December we read that Roger Allam was going to be Prospero in The Tempest we decided to book a trip to London to see him. First on saturday evening, then the matinée on sunday. Then she found out John Simm was going to be in The Hothouse that same weekend and we bought tickets to that too. It was a fantastic weekend of fine theatre with two of our favourite actors. \o/ I took a lot of pictures, so this post will be divided in three parts. I'm not even sorry.

I have to watch the river/To see that it doesn't stop/And stick around the rosebuds/So they'll know when to pop. )

Onward to the second part.

I'm ashamed to realize I still haven't done an official entry for my next trip. Drumroll, please.

On June 14th I'm leaving for London, in the company of the lovely [livejournal.com profile] space_oddity_75. We'll be enjoying a weekend of fine theatre, three performances in three days. It's going to be awesome. First, on friday, we'll be at Trafalgar Studios for The Hothouse with John Simm. John Simm. In a theatre. I will never be prepared enough. I'll probably hyperventilate the whole evening.

On saturday and on sunday we'll be at the Globe for The Tempest with Roger Allam as Prospero, the reason why we decided to organize this trip. We're going to be in Shakespeare's theatre, watching Roger Freaking Allam in one of my favourite Shakespeare plays. This is not only a dream come true (Roger Allam in a theatre), but a childhood dream (a Shakespeare play in a theatre) inside another childhood dream (a play in the Globe), it's an Inception of my wildest and oldest dreams.

And yes, we're going both on saturday evening and for the matinée on sunday. Roger Allam. Prospero. My brain short-circuits everytime I think about it.

It's going to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and it's all thanks to you, [livejournal.com profile] space_oddity_75! I will never be able to thank you enough, dear! You probably already own my soul, just so we're clear.
