Good morning! I don't remember exactly when, but a short time ago Marple had an anon 'good friend of Valbonesi' come over - I believe someone on our side of the fence commented on the unlikelihood.
Well then… I found myself thinking about the subject after I saw Valbos participating more actively in the weekend's events. A few days ago he announced that coaches and members of his gym would participate in Hyrox and, during the event, he gave us that naughty confirmation about the backpack with a video with details about it.
Do you know if he's ever been involved like this before? https://www.instagram.com/p/C35yV6NMyeF/?igsh=MWlvajZmdmdxYjdtag== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4B4QxtsqiE/?igsh=MWNjcm5ocm1jNTNqNw==
Dear Valbo Anon,
This guy has been onboard the MPC project probably since Day 1 and now everybody is scratching their head and looking for conspiracy, when it's just about normal (even expected!) promo?
It is absolutely logical to see Coach Valbo showing off one of the main (and rather expensive!) MPC merchandise pieces currently on offer, in order to boost sales. We should not be paranoid and look for anything else. This is all that is, nothing more.
I have to confess I have no idea about the reason why you might even ask 'if he's been involved like this before', other than trying to link this to Scottish Xena, the newest side player on the block.
Connecting the two backpacks looks completely unnecessary to me. Prior to launching her online business (probably currently not based in the UK, her two UK registered companies, based in Falkirk, are dissolved since March 7, 2023 and their 1 £ capital each are automatically deemed as bona vacantia of the Crown - 😎), she has worked as a Personal Trainer for about seven years in gyms and fitness clubs all around Scotland (according to her own statements). I bet she knows all of the girls and guys in that world and that includes Valbo, Alex Viada, you name it.
Also (and sorry for the long answer), expect luxurious fanfic about her, too. There are several podcasts she's done over the last five or six years, where she abundantly hints at her life, her son, her struggles. And let me tell you something, Anon: this woman is a good mother, who proudly wears her son's initial as a necklace. She is a single mom who tries her best and there is absolutely nothing hinting to her looking for romance, let alone a hidden one, Notting Hill style. I am sure real shippers will never harass her (as they never harassed anybody, FFS!) and if I can do something about it, I will. I was raised by a single/divorced mom, too and I know one when I see one. She doesn't need to be Virginia Woolf, or something, to have my respect - and the best way to respect her is to leave her be and stop this shitty connection game immediately.
I am sure you understand. With this, that topic is closed. If you need more minute detail, you know where to look for it (Marple, who?).

ABOUT.
Name: Owen Marr Age: Thirty Date of Birth: 17th August 1993 Birthplace: London, UK Occupation: Personal Trainer/Fitness GuruRomantic/sexual orientation: Heteroromantic/heterosexual
The oldest of the Marr children, Owen always felt a slight disassociation from his siblings. He's the one who was a trial in a way for his parents, he had the boring name and he had three years where it was just him, growing and learning, toddling around in a house the family couldn't really afford.
That became more and more apparent as the family grew over the coming years and when he finally hit a point where he wanted to do more than just hang around at home and keep his younger siblings company, he realised he couldn't really do that. So it didn't take long for him to take in the usual Marr shenanigans. if he wanted on the football team he'd have to steal the kit he needed —- and he did, repeatedly, from other students, from the lost and found, from the local sports shop where he'd sneak it under his coat.
As he grew older, he'd spend day after day in the local coffee shop uploading videos he'd filmed out on the football field and in the park. Fitness was really the only thing he was interested in and he started gaining a following through that. It wasn't hard for that to become his only focus.
He was the first to leave the family home, getting his own place out on the Isle of Dogs and starting a whole other life for himself.
His career blossomed and it wasn't long before he was starting a family all of his own... even if it wasn't intentional and it certainly wouldn't last. His daughter, Daisy, means the absolute world to him, though. Always has and always will.
It wasn't until recently that he made the move back to Notting Hill to be closer to the rest of the Marrs. No matter how often he might try and pretend he's a different person now, there's no getting away from that. He's always been a little rough around the edges, swears a tiny bit too much ( when he's not on camera anyway ), drinks more than he should, and then proceeds to try and run the calories off in a pretty unhealthy way the same night.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
siblings. ( 3/3. ) ( sparrow, jagger & wilde marr. )
best friend. ( kash bronson. )
mother of his daughter.
ex-girlfriends.
good friends.
clients.

Tumblr media
Jack Whitehall pulls a VERY X-rated prank on unsuspecting girlfriend Roxy Horner as she poses next to a naked male statue in a hilarious clip
By Bethan Edwards For Mailonline Published: 21:47 EDT, Apr 11, 2023 | Updated: 21:51 EDT, Apr 11, 2023 --> --> --> Jack Whitehall took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a hilarious video of his girlfriend Roxy Horner teaching her how to pose in front of a naked male statue. The 34-year-old comedian appeared to be enjoying a lavish getaway with the 31-year-old model as they enjoyed some sightseeing and snapped some snaps. Jack couldn't help but tell Roxy to stretch out her arm while leaning against the statue to force her to accidentally touch the large artwork's genitals. Roxy was unimpressed and quite red in the face as she quickly turned and walked away. The prankster wrote: "She falls for the oldest trick in the world. @roxyhorner

Tumblr media
Funny: The comedian, 34, seemed to be enjoying a lavish getaway with the 31-year-old model as he poked fun at her for "falling for the oldest tricks in the world". She looked effortlessly chic for the sun-drenched outing in a pretty blue mini dress, which she paired with a pair of crisp white leggings and trainers. The beauty completed her ensemble by adding a pair of gold hoop earrings and styling her long blonde tresses in loose waves. It comes after Jack revealed it He once deleted jokes about his girlfriend Roxy from his script while performing in front of her parents.The comedian admitted he hadn't done stand-up in a while and was getting "too nervous" to talk about the model on stage.Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Jack said, "To be honest, I hadn't done stand-up for a while, I'd done a lot of movies and I was stuck on set."I love doing stand-up so much. I felt like I had something to talk about again. Before I knew it, I had been writing for an hour and was on tour.”Speaking about his girlfriend's family in the audience, he explained, "I had some routines with my girlfriend, but then I remembered her family was in the audience. "I got a few out When I got too nervous... I saw her family and gave up on the joke halfway through.

Couple: Jack has been with Roxy for more than two years and they live with their pooch Coco (pictured in 2022) in a £17.5million five-bedroom house in Notting Hill.Speaking of continuing his work in the film, "Hopefully they'll do Clifford the Big Red Dog 2, which I'll get asked back about. Jung Cruise 2 too.”It comes after Jack admitted his girlfriend is the only person in control of his stand-up content.He's bared everything about her sex life as well as Roxy's type 1 diabetes in his routines - all with the model's permission.He told The Sun: "Roxy definitely gets a veto. She can be a tough audience for my brand of humor but, touch wood, so far she's been very accepting of me making routines about her personal life on stage."It's a blessing she hasn't said no to anything yet. Dating a comedian can be stressful because he gets on stage and tells a bunch of strangers all about your personal life for the sake of comedy.“She was very patient with everything. Roxy has the patience of a saint.'Jack has been with Roxy for more than two years and they live with their pooch Coco in a £17.5million five-bedroom house in Notting Hill.

⸻ MIN YOONGI. HE + HIM / have you ever heard of BARTHOLOMEW by THE SILENT COMEDY, well, it describes BAE SUYEONG to a tee! the twenty nine year old, and SECURITY AT HAMMOND’S PUB was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say HE is more ABRASIVE or more COURAGEOUS instead? anyway, they remind me of ash as the fire begins to go out , bloodied knuckles at the end of the day , and echoing footsteps down an empty hallway , maybe you’ll bump into them soon!
time in notting hill : 20 years birthplace : busan , south korea sexuality : bisexual relationship status : single
a quiet life is one of the many things that suyeong thought that he would have , growing up . it was the type of world he’d dreamed of . while it wasn’t the chaotic mess his parents had made him feel , there’s no denying that their divorce had hit him harder than he realized . swept away from busan to london by his father , suyeong was virtually raised by a single father that had a penchant for sleeping with his secretaries of the affluent law firm he’d become partner of . he’d learned to never remember their faces , ask their names or so much as get to know them more than the bare bones of details as the women would come and go .
london was a strange place for him , it was different and at times he felt like an outcast , ousted by the children at school , his private tutors not knowing what to do with the rebellious child , his trainers would lose patience with him , and most importantly , his absentee father . his relationship with his mother had been cut off during the divorce , the photos of them as a family left behind – and to this day he has no idea why that would be , in fact , her face has become nothing more than a clouded memory .
these questions , they led to a bitter teen , the kind that would be caught outside smoking pot and getting into fist fights in the parking lot . the more trouble he’d get in , the more times his father would have to come and talk his delinquent son out of it . often reminded how he would amount to nothing in his life if he kept the behavior up , suyeong would only bite back , fighting the urge to yell , scream , break things and instead bottled it all inside until the moment something would make him explode . this anger only settled as a more internal part of him as he grew older , moved out from his father’s home and found himself a place of his own . finally , he was able to have a semblance of peace . instead of taking out his frustrations on the unsuspecting , however , suyeong turned his focus into the ring . training day and night from kickboxing to other mixed martial arts , he found a level of inner peace he never would have anticipated . it was then that he decided to forgo college and keep his focus on the ring and his job at the pub as security .
MORE INFORMATION
suyeong grew up in london , having left korea with his father when he was only nine years old and went to school locally .
when in the ring , suyeong is not the type to hold back , everything about him is focused on the fight at hand and he will stop at nothing to win . however , once out of the ring , he comes off as a quiet , yet personable type though many could consider him unapproachable due to the resting face .
he’s a people watcher by nature , rarely ( if ever ) wanting to be the center of attention . as much as he is capable of telling a good story , he attempts to make it so in the simplest way possible , keeping to the point and being direct — which is exactly how he prefers to communicate . on top of that , he finds small talk dull , and would rather talk about anything besides the weather , especially if it goes beyond ‘ is it cold out ? ‘
when it comes to his relationship with his father , it’s definitely strained . they don’t speak often , and they rarely make attempts at reaching out . as far as suyeong considers it , they both live entirely separate lives and he’s alright with that – he doesn’t want anything to do with him no matter what the cost .
when it comes to his mother , suyeong was never told why he would have to go with his father amidst the divorce . the mother he remembers was kind , nurturing and understanding , where his father was the complete opposite , and whenever the subject would be brought up while he was a child , it would be swiftly shot down . just like his father , suyeong has never reached out , or sought out his mother , having been under the impression that she didn’t want anything to do with him , when in reality , during the custody battle , suyeong’s father used his influence to obtain it , and left his ex wife in the dust back in korea .
nowadays , suyeong is often seen walking around the streets when not at work or in the ring , or he is at home curled up on the couch with his cat , saya .
WANTED CONNECTIONS
best friend since chidlhood : these two are thick as thieves . having grown up together they've been inseparable . skinny love ( any gender ) - aka these two have mutual feelings for one another , however neither has the gall to say so . lots of pining , some angst , the great combo . FWB ( any gender ) - exactly what it says , how it started is up to interpretation , but one thing is for sure , they're close friends , that also mess around every now and again .

Did You Know You Can Benefit From Using An Online Personal Trainer?
At present, many individuals in the United Kingdom have started using online personal trainers to maintain a healthy lifestyle during the lockdown period.  In the past, people complained that they don’t have enough time to workout at the gym. However, with so much time on your hands, there is simply no excuses anymore to get yourself into shape.  You can start working out right away if you get yourself matched up with a personal trainer. This article will show you how you can benefit from online personal training services in the comfort of your own home.
Tumblr media
Online personal training has become a popular solution for many people to keep their bodies in shape for the last couple of months.  Since it is not possible to do your regular workout at the gym or visit the park, individuals are now opting for online personal training services.  
Since your exercise sessions are not done in person, you can do your exercise at a time that suits you.
One of the greatest benefits of using an online personal training service is the fact that you don’t have to rush from and to work to get to the gym on time.  An additional bonus is that the majority of online exercise programs contain plenty of bodyweight workouts, which can be executed comfortably at your home.
Before the nationwide lockdown in the United Kingdom, people were already finding it difficult to afford one-on-one gym sessions.  Particularly if training occurs more than once each week.  It is worth noting that personal trainers are expensive, however, the majority of online personal trainers will bill you less for their online training services than in-person workouts.
Tumblr media
Appointing the services of an online personal trainer will present you with more personal attention. Your training will most likely follow your routine regularly and contact communicate with you via Skype, text messages, or even call you. Then again, being online indicates that the lines of communication are always open and that he/she is available to assist you with your workout routine, questions you might have, and even be able to give you some pointers.
One of the perks of working via an online training service is that your personal trainer doesn’t even have to reside in the same location as you.  You can appoint the ideal personal trainer that suits your needs and can help you achieve your fitness goals, whether it be training for a marathon in the future, preparing for a fitness competition, or just helping you to stay fit. Needless to say, using an online training service, your personal trainer doesn’t even have to reside in the UK.
Even though online training may require more self-motivation from your side, you don’t have to worried about being alone.  Your personal trainer is just a phone call, message or a click away.  Then again, if you have a good trainer, you can rest assured that he/she will be checking in on you to motivate you and find out how you are progressing with your workout schedule. Don’t think for a minute that you will not be held accountable if you are not achieving your goals.
Sceptics consider that the one setback to online training is safety.  If truth to be told, individuals that need some guidance to get in shape and need that extra motivation can rest assured that safety is not an obstacle.
Professional trainers that render personal services online offer clear instructions along with custom exercises to show you how to do a specific workout routine – making it perfect for any person who wishes to live a healthy lifestyle.
With all of the above advantages, you should also consider working out with the help of online personal training services.
Based in Fulham, South West London Elite PT London provides professional, certified fitness programs that are designed to help you reach and maintain your fitness and health goals.  No matter what age you are, what your exercise history is or your fitness level, one of our professional personal trainer’s will help you to identify your fitness goals, design an exercise program that fits your needs, guide you throughout every exercise and workout. Our services include the following programs such as Push Your Limits, Body Transformation, Bulk Up/Hypertrophy Training, Fat Loss/Tone Up, Buddy Training and Wedding/Event Training. Our personal trainers at Elite PT London have programs and advice to suit every need. Our clients are founded in Wimbledon, Fulham, Chelsea, Marylebone, Paddington and Notting Hill.

Cora, Chapter 2: Invitations
I have to tell someone.
I can’t.
I can’t tell anyone.
Annie, she’d know what to do.
No, she’d just congratulate me and pat me on the back.
Jenny? She’d freak me out even more.
Mum…let’s not go there.
Dad? I quiver at the thought.
The door swings open as I stand contemplating my options, one hand in my mouth, my nail being torn to shreds, the other clutching a bottle of brandy.
‘Cora!’, he says as if I’m a wonderful surprise he wasn’t expecting. 
‘Evening Nicholas’, I smile, placing my hand at my side quickly.
He looks fantastic, his hair perfectly in place, and wearing a blue shirt and chinos. I have opted for a little black dress.
‘You look lovely’, he kisses me on both cheeks and I hand him the brandy.
‘For you’.
 ‘Brandy and fish? I think I’ll have to teach you a thing or two about flavours!’, he chuckles.
He lets me in to his plush Notting Hill apartment. Unlike my apartment at Clarence House, Nicholas is surrounded by shiny new furniture and contemporary art. It’s the kind of place that when you step bare foot, your feet sink into the lush, soft strands of the carpet.
He puts the brandy to one side and pours me a glass of wine.
‘So what’s for dinner?’, I ask.
‘Salt-crusted grilled fish with lemongrass’, he says proudly. 
‘You are full of surprises! Who knew you were a cook?’
‘I have many talents’, he says, looking over his glass at me.
I blush lightly. I have no idea what to say in response.
We settle down to dinner, Nicholas entertaining me with stories from his childhood, and the rivalry he and his older brother, Jonathan, had as boys.
‘I used to scribble out his grades on his school work and replace them with E’s and F’s’, he laughs, ‘he used to get so angry when Mum and Dad made him do more homework to make up for it’.
‘I wish I had siblings’
‘They’re not all they’re made out to be’
‘No, you’re so lucky to have that one person who understands…’, I trail off. ‘…I remember being seven and finally realising that Mum and Dad divorcing meant I wouldn’t get a little brother or sister to play with.’
I don’t have to tell Nicholas the story, we’d never talked about it, but of course he knew, the whole world knew. My parents divorced when I was five. They continued to live in Clarence House, albeit in very separate apartments, for my sake. When I left home for university, Mum wasted no time in moving to a secluded country home in Surrey. I’d resented her for it ever since. For leaving me. For leaving Dad.
I snap myself out of it as Nicholas says, ‘yes well, silver linings and all that.’ I can see I’ve made him uncomfortable. He changes the subject and my family aren’t mentioned for the rest of the meal.
After a chocolate soufflé, we head over to the living area. I’m a little woozy from the wine and would love to put my feet up and sink into the couch, but it’s hard on the back and sides, and I sit awkwardly upright as Nicholas sits next to me, looking all the more glamorous, his arm draped over his arm rest.
‘Get comfortable’, he insists.
I shuffle backwards into the couch, holding my wine in one hand, doing my best to look casual.
Nicholas swirls the wine in his glass. ‘So I know it’s a bit short notice for someone like you, but my father’s hosting our annual Highland Fling next month, and I wondered if you’d like to accompany me?’
‘Will you be dancing?’, I giggle.
‘Yes, of course, and I’ll be in a kilt’
I almost ask him if he’ll wear the kilt in the traditional way, with nothing underneath, but I stop myself. He raises an eyebrow as if he’s expecting me to ask that very question.
‘I’ll check my diary’, I say instead.
Nicholas’ face drops slightly, giving him a look of an abandoned puppy on the roadside.
‘I’m sure it’ll be fine though Nick! Best not double book myself’, I say cheerily, placing a hand on his knee to reassure him. 
‘Good’. He reaches to my hair, tucking a strand behind my ear before resting it on my shoulder. Tilting his body toward mine, my heart starts to beat uncontrollably. He’s taken that small gesture as a green light. Shit.
Nicholas is inches away from my face when I panic, ‘I can’t!’, I say, my voice going to liquid.
He stops, but doesn’t pull away, his face still ludicrously close to mine given what I’d just said.
‘You can’t?’
‘I mean I won’t…I mean…just not on the first date’, I manage a smile.
I’m lying; I did mean ‘I can’t’. A Freudian slip. How could I kiss this man after kissing another yesterday? How could he compare? I shake the thought of Ben out of my mind.
Nicholas pats my knee, ‘of course’.
‘Could I use the bathroom?’, I say, hoping to change the subject.
‘Through the passage, second on the right’. I think I hear a hint of annoyance in his voice.
I amble back from the bathroom a few minutes later, looking at the art work in the passage as I go. Next to the doorway that leads back to the living area is a small, wooden telephone table, with a telephone and a pile of documents sitting on top. The one messy thing in Nicholas’ home, I think to myself.
My father has always said I have an inquisitive mind; anyone else would call it nosy. I reassure myself that I’m just getting to know him better as I flick nonchalantly through Nicholas’ papers. A single sheet at the bottom of the pile catches my eye.
25/07/2163
Invoice
Elliot Mason Private Catering
2 course meal x2    £250.00
I push the papers back into place, smarting from my discovery. Part of me is endeared that he would go to such lengths for our date. The other part, the niggling part in my chest, is annoyed that he lied to me. It’s the cynical princess that wins. I have to test him.
‘So’ I say as I re-enter the room, where Nicholas is clearing away the glasses, ‘what are you going to cook for me next time?’ 
‘Ha! Well next time, we’ll be at the Highland Fling, so I won’t need to’, he gives me a small wink.
Forcing myself to come to my senses, I thank him for the evening, and promise to get in touch. So what if he paid a chef and lied about it? Surely that proves he likes me?
Maybe that niggling feeling I’ve felt all night isn’t my doubt, maybe it’s guilt.
I have to tell someone.
***
I drum my fingers across the desk in an erratic beat as Maggie reals off my commitments for the coming month. Our monthly diary meetings were her idea; a way to keep me organised and for us to merge my work diary with my personal one.
‘The weekend beginning Saturday, August twenty-eighth, you have free…’
‘I’m in Scotland that weekend’, I say, distracted by a fly buzzing near the window, trying to escape. 
‘Ok, for the whole weekend?’ Maggie never asked for specifics, where I was going and who with were my business. Nevertheless, I usually told her anyway.
I get up and open the window, releasing the fly to the world, ‘I’m not sure yet, it’s the Dunrobin Highland Fling, I might come home the next day’.
She scribbles something in her diary, as we discuss the last few days of August for a couple of minutes. I’m eager to leave, I hate meetings. I’m always the fly trying to escape from the window.
‘Just one last thing Ma’am’, Maggie picks up a large, thick envelope. ‘This came for you at the office, I presume you were expecting it?’
She hands it to me and I pull out the contents; a navy blue information pack, with the words ‘Marion and James Evans Trust’ in white writing on the cover. My heart skips a beat.
Opening the folder, I find a compliments note written in scrawling, spiky handwriting,
‘In case you couldn’t find the email address,
Ben Evans’
I’m convinced Maggie can hear my heart humming.
‘It’s from Ben Evans, about the Trust’, I say, my mouth dry.
‘Is he wanting you to get involved?’ Maggie asks, more interested in her paperwork.
‘Um…I don’t know’, I stay glued to the spot, staring at his disjointed penmanship, wondering what it says about him.
‘Are you ok Ma’am?’
When I look up, Maggie is looking at me, a slightly concerned expression on her face. It’s not like me to be so quiet.
‘I kissed him’. The words are out before my brain can stop them.
‘Mr Egerton, Ma’am?’
‘What?’, she thinks I’m talking about Nicholas, I had told her about the date in a fit of nerves on the way back from the awards. ‘No, not Nicholas…Ben, that night, I don’t know what happened, one minute we were talking, the next…’
Maggie’s eyes widen for a milli-second, then settle. She is truly the calmest person I know.
‘Are you planning to see each other again?’
‘I don’t know, I mean of course not! I’m seeing Nicholas, it was just a moment of madness’, I blurt out.
‘Are you worried?’, she says, trying to find the source of my angst.
‘About what?’
‘That he may speak to someone?’
Her innocent question hits me in the chest like a freezing snowball on a winter’s day. I hadn’t even considered he might talk to someone, and by ‘someone’, Maggie meant the press.
‘He wouldn’t, would he? I mean, why would he?’, the panic in my voice is rising by the second.
‘For publicity, press attention…any number of reasons Ma’am’
‘Oh shit’. How could I be so stupid?
Maggie tries to placate me, ‘I can get in contact with his team, make sure he knows any such action would be deplorable’
‘No! No, it’s fine, I’ll speak to him myself’, I scan the room, my mind buzzing.
‘I’m not sure that would be advisable’, she says calmly.
I ignore her against my better judgement, ‘I should see him in person, yes, that’s what I need to do, I need to see him.’
***
Queen’s Club, London
Maggie knew it was an excuse, I knew it was an excuse. But that wasn’t enough to stop me.
I’m well known around here, visiting every month or so to play a quick game of tennis. Ben and I had spoken about it that night, he had told me he comes here often, and after a few discreet phone calls from Maggie, I had discovered he’d be here training today.
Walking towards the lawns in my tennis whites and neon pink trainers, I scan the area for any sight of him and it doesn’t take long before I do. Swinging his racket forcefully against his training partner’s forehand, he bounces around the court, sweating head to toe in the August heat.  
I stand and watch for a few minutes, admiring the shapes his body can make under such speed, until his partner relents and goes to find some shade. Ben heads over to a bench on the side of the court, sits down and leans back his head, pouring water from his bottle all over his face, before gulping the rest down. 
I stride towards him purposefully. I am here for a reason.
I see him squinting like he’s seen a mirage. A grin passes over his face as I approach.
‘Morning, how are you?’, he says simply.
‘Good thanks, and you?’, I say. Casual. Be casual.
‘Good, good’
I stand in front of him, an expectant silence between us. Say something clever, Cora, or funny. Say anything. Speak for God’s sake!
‘I got your information pack, thank you!’, I say with a squeak.
‘Well, I noticed there hadn’t been any emails from you’, he shrugged. ‘I thought you might have been avoiding me.’
I laugh like a deranged idiot, ‘why would I avoid you?’
‘Because you kissed me’
I’m startled by his bluntness and stumble over my words before I realise what he’s just said.
‘Wait a second, you kissed me’, I say indignantly.
‘That’s not how I remember it’, he leans down to re-tie his shoelaces.
I open my mouth to bite back, then realise what he’s doing. ‘Nice try’.
‘Aha, she’s discovered a sense of humour at last’, he says, looking to the sky playfully.
I sit down next to him; I need to bite the bullet. ‘I have to ask you something…’, I say tentatively.
‘Go on’
‘Have you…told anyone about what happened?’
‘Nope, why?’
‘I just had to check’
‘For?…’ He places his elbows on his thighs and studies me.
‘If it got out, well, it would be a nightmare; I would really appreciate it if you didn’t say anything’
‘Thanks for the vote of confidence’, he rolls his eyes. ‘Is there someone in particular you don’t want to find out? A boyfriend, perhaps’
My heart jumps into my throat. ‘No!’ I say it a little too quickly. ‘But, I’ve been on a date, since…it happened’
Why did I just tell him that?
A flicker of disappointment passes over his face.
‘So you‘re just worried I’ll use you for publicity?’, a darkness clouds his voice.
‘No, I-’
‘Cora, I’ve been in the public eye long enough to know how it works, I’m not interested in making the Sunday papers, I just want to play tennis’
‘I’m sorry, it would be stupid of me not to check’, I say.
He nods in agreement, ‘I appreciate you coming to me yourself’
‘See, I told Maggie that would be best!’, I can’t wait for the chance to rub that one in her face.
‘So Maggie knows does she?’, he raises both eyebrows. ‘And yet I’m getting the lecture about keeping my mouth shut!’
Crap. ‘She’s the only person I told, I swear’, I say, panicking.
Ben laughs, that glorious, big laugh, ‘I couldn’t give a shit who you tell’. There’s that bluntness again.
I want to hit him with my racket; this man knows how to break me into a sweat.
‘As you’re here, do you fancy a game?’, he motions towards the court.
‘With you?’
‘No with the Pope, yes with me. I heard Bejar offered you lessons, I think you can do better than him’, his deep brown eyes dart across mine.
I force Nicholas back into my mind like a shoehorn. Don’t flirt, don’t flirt.
‘Well you do need help on that forehand’, I tease.
We head over to the court where we hit a few balls around, Ben giving me some pointers along the way. As we finally get into a game, unsurprisingly, he wins every point. All but one, when he hits the net.
Later as I walk him to the changing rooms, I can’t help but gloat. ‘A point against a tennis champion, that’s pretty good going.’
‘One measly point! And it was only because I was distracted by those ridiculous trainers!’, he looks down at my neon pink feet.
It usually takes an age for a new friend to feel like they can tease me. I smile to myself, grateful that he just didn’t ‘give a shit’.
‘I’m sure you’re better at other things’, he pats me on the shoulder unaware of the glow it ignites inside me.
‘I am’, I try and sound mysterious.
‘Like?’
I say the first think that pops into my mind, ‘like the Highland Fling’
Ben finds this hilarious, of course he does.
‘I bet you couldn’t do it, I bet you’re too “manly” to even try’, I hold his gaze.
‘Try me’, he says, his voice deep.
‘There’s a party on the twenty-eighth, my friend…the guy I’m going with, it’s at his home, a big do, I’ll send you the details…if you’re not too much of a wuss, that is’
What am I doing?
‘Great’, if he’s registered that I’m going there with a date, he doesn’t show it.
‘Great, see you then’, I flounce off , my face on fire, my heart thumping.
‘Uh Cora!’, he calls after me.
I turn around.
‘You’ll probably need my number, to send me the details?’
‘Oh yes’, I blush.
I walk away with my hand gripped around my racket, Ben’s number in my phone, and his eyes on my back.
This has suddenly become very real.
What have I done?

I Knew I Loved You ~ Chapter 8
So... I misnumbered my chapters and so I thought I had done more than I actually did when really I just fucked up... *shrug*
Tumblr media
Chapter 8: Arsinoe
~Camden, Australia~
Jules was in freakout mode by mid-October. Despite still having another month before her wedding, she had insisted that Arsinoe come home to help her. Which led to Arsinoe sitting on Jules and Emilia’s couch as the two rapidly debated what type of card they wanted for the table placements. Arsinoe couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she looked at the clock on the wall, only to see that it was lunch time and that the two had been debating for a full hour. She pulled out her phone and checked through Instagram.
She mindlessly looked through until she saw a photo of Jules and Emilia’s wedding invitation posted by Michael Percy. She liked the photo and spoke to Jules.
“So, Michael Percy is coming to your wedding?” Jules thought for a second before frowning.
“I thought you two were friends?” Arsinoe shrugged.
“I’m friends with Tommy. Michael and I had a breakup so bad that we went down in our yearbook as the worst fight of the year. I’m just curious as to why you invited him?” Jules cringed, baring her teeth slightly.
“Emilia invited him. I’m still friends with him. I’m sorry. Will it be awkward?” Jules explained. Arsinoe took a breath and reminded herself not to be so selfish.
“I’m pretty sure he came out a few years back and I have my own man, so no, it should be fine,” she paused  and checked the time again, “I’m going to get food. You want anything?” Both shook their heads and Arsinoe grabbed the keys to the truck she had given Jules when she moved away. Arsinoe clicked her tongue at the dog that had been sitting at her feet. Braddock bounded to his feet and to the door, excited to go out with her again. She pets his head and opens the door.
“Oh, and Arsinoe?” Jules calls after her. “When you get back, I want to call this soulmate of yours so I can grill the shit out of him,” Arsinoe laughs and nods at her best friend.
~
The cemetery was quiet at this time of a Monday afternoon. Even after so long, the little old lady who ran the florist on the grounds recognised her and nearly cried when Arsinoe pulled the money she owed out of her pocket. Mrs. Patrick had seen her there a lot as a teenager without a job and drowned in grief and it was time to pay her back.
She sat down at the grass in front of the two headstones. Arsinoe had organised it so that there was a plot between them so that eventually she could join them and she sat there now, laying the flowers on her sister’s grave. Forget-me-nots for Mirabella and roses for Katharine. She took a moment to trace the words on the headstones. They were not the same as each other, as her sisters had been different.
Mirabella’s read a quote from one of her favourite books and Kat’s read a quote from a poem. Arsinoe smiled at them and began speaking. She could never forget how they sounded in her head which made their conversation easier, if you could call it that.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I got a new tattoo. I miss you both,  more than you could even fathom. Jules and Em are getting married which is wild. I know you guys probably know all of this because you see all now but sometimes I like to pretend I’m your only source of gossip. Maybe that’s stupid, but it works.”
Only silence responded. Arsinoe smiled softly.
“You can’t tell anyone but I got another job. A local art gallery wants my paintings to display,” she squealed softly, trying not to disturb anyone else who might be around. “I haven’t told anyone that yet but I was so excited and I wanted you guys to be the first to know. I’m moving up in art and life and it’s exciting,” her smile droops a little, “I just wish you both were here to see it all... It’s never gonna get easier to live without you guys, is it?”
Silence again. She sighed and stood, touching her fingers to the headstones one last time.
“There is one more person I have to visit. Until I see you again, ladies,” she took the final bouquet she had bought and climbed the hill of the cemetery until she saw a small stone headstone.
“Hi, Joseph,” she lays the flowers down, crouching on the grass. “How have you been? Good I guess. You and the girls are probably all up there happy. At least, that’s what I think. Jules is getting married. And I know you two didn’t end things great but I just thought you should know. Emilia’s really great for Jules too. I know you asked me to look after her but… I don’t think she needs me as much as she used to. But just know that I’ve got her back, always,” on this headstone, she kisses her hand and presses it to the stone. “Bye, Joseph.”
When she leaves the cemetery, she tries to leave the sadness too. Unfortunately, she has always been particularly bad at that.
~
It was tradition for Emilia and Arsinoe to have one round in a boxing ring together every time Arsinoe came back home. This time was no different except that they were pulling their punches. Bruises don’t look good with fancy dresses, after all. Emilia was quick and strong but Arsinoe was fast and smart. They had punched it out on 6 occasions and it was a tie every time. As it was this time.
The two were sitting silently against the ropes in the empty boxing gym when Emilia spoke.
“I’m quitting the army,” Arsinoe turned to look at her and she returned the look. “I haven’t told Jules yet and I don’t want you to but… ever since I got back home I keep thinking how much I don’t want to leave her again.”
“I get it. By the time I got back home I couldn’t go again either. And if you’re not sure about going back then it’s not worth it. Can I ask if getting married has something to do with it?” Arsinoe's voice was gentle and serious.
“Jules and I were thinking of starting a family. Adopting, y’know? I can’t leave a kid to go do what I do. I don’t need any more blood on my hands.” Arsinoe smiled.
“That’s really great Em. What will you do once you’re out?” Emilia shrugged.
“Probably personal security, maybe I’ll become a personal trainer. Or I’ll just quit work and be a stay-at-home mother,” Arsinoe laughed near hysterically.
“If there is one thing I don’t think you could do it’s be a stay-at-home anything. But I’m proud of you,” she nudged Emilia’s shoulder with her own.
“What’s it like? Getting out?” Arsinoe shrugged.
“It depends what you see when you’re out there and what you internalise. I’m fine sleeping but jolt out of bed at 5 am on the dot even if I don’t set an alarm. Sometimes I pull a fork from my kitchen drawer and it sounds exactly like the grenade right before it blew us all up. It takes time. But it gets better and besides, you’ll have Braddock and he’s great in civilian crowds,” Emilia smiled and stood, pulling Arsinoe to her feet and hugging her. Arsinoe coughed in surprise.
“Thank you,” Emilia whispers.
“For telling you what it’s like to be out of the army?” Arsinoe says, confusion evident.
“For being Jules’ person. There have been times when I couldn’t for the life of me understand why Jules and you were so close but I’m glad that she has you in her life. So thank you for looking after her,” Arsinoe pats Emilia’s shoulder.
“Thanks, but I think she looked after me more than I looked after her.”

The Making of Dark Side Of The Moon
Carol Clerk, Uncut, June 2003
<excerpt>
RICHARD WRIGHT (KEYBOARDS, VOCALS, VCS3)
RICHARD WRIGHT opens the front door in person. There are no managers, no minions leaping into view as he ushers Uncut into his house in a leafy and exclusive area of London's Notting Hill and immediately rushes off to make coffee. The large, comfortable sitting-room seems to suit his personality: it's not at all ostentatious, certainly not self-satisfied. The laminated wooden floor is made cosy with rugs, a couple of paintings are stacked against the wall, and a modest collection of CDs is tucked into a shelving unit.
This is clearly a family home, lived-in, like his jeans. In the entrance hall, a room in itself, the chandelier, gleaming above a shoe-cupboard stuffed with pairs of trainers and a display of children's artwork on the mantlepiece, offers an incongruous flash of glamour.
A cat pads into the sitting-room to pour itself round the ankles of the unfamiliar company before Wright returns with a cafetiere, cups and saucers on a tray, and sits on the sofa.
"Friendly cat you have here."
"They're not that friendly," he retorts. "Which one was it?" and goes on to explain that that cat is overweight.
Richard – not Rick – is a stickler for detail: it is, of course, "a prism" rather than "a triangle" on the famous artwork. He is also patient, and given to comprehensive explanation in the interests of getting things right. Not wishing to offend anyone, he is equally determined to defend his own stand in the history of Dark Side Of The Moon. He is likeably anxious, almost jittery, confessing that he hasn't done an interview in years.
Tumblr media
UNCUT: Roger believes that the music captures all of the emotional content of his lyrics. Where did all this emotion and magic come from?
WRIGHT: I would say they happened spontaneously. When we did Dark Side, we were at the height of our creativity. It has the best songs the Floyd have ever written. Even though I wasn't great friends with Roger, there was a great working relationship. We had respect for each other.
With Dark Side, Roger had a clear idea of what he wanted to say. He wanted to keep it in very simple language and make a "concept" album (winces), and it was the first one we'd really done.
It expressed emotions that I think we all felt at the time. He was affected by us being on the road all the time, losing touch with families, and having memories of childhood. I think the music and lyrics just came together.
Tumblr media
Was there also a musical vision for the album, existing alongside the concept, before the writing began?
I would say there wasn't. We started off like we always started off – in the studio or the rehearsal room, with everyone just playing things. Once you've got a starting point, and the band are excited and flowing, it grows by itself. It grows, it grows, it grows. I suspect that's how Dark Side started.
I don't remember a great deal about the writing or the rehearsals or the whole process of how it was put together. We were performing most of it live before we started recording it.
It was a very exciting and creative time in Abbey Road, a very happy time, very harmonious. We weren't the best of friends, but we were very together. We were all into this project, and we worked extremely hard and quite fast. It was, quite honestly, the last time, the end of that era of the band working very closely and creatively together. Wish You Were Here was great, but the tensions were beginning to come between us. But, I remember, not on Dark Side.
Tumblr media
Were there no disagreements during the recordings?
I think we had a few disagreements on the publishing when we were close to finishing it – "Well, who gets what?" Nick gets credited on 'Any Colour [You Like]' and 'Speak To Me', when, in fact, that was just us giving him some publishing because Dark Side is essentially Roger on lyrics and Dave and me on the music. It was a great working partnership. To this day, I think it's sad we lost it, but it does happen.

The Benefits of Having a Personal Trainer
A Personal Trainer is a specialist in your overall health and well being. Our personal trainers in Notting Hill in will work with you to set personal fitness goals and how to achieve them or devise a fitness plan to exercise safely if you have a chronic condition.
Here are 10 reasons to bring a personal trainer into your fitness life.
1. Motivation
Your personal trainer will provide encouragement, motivation and energy that will help you kickstart and maintain your regime. We work harder in the presence of others and are more willing to push ourselves. Your trainer will create a fitness plan with goals to accomplish and critical performance indicators to track your progress.  
2. Consistency
It can be challenging to stick to a fitness program, but this is when your personal trainer steps up. Your trainer will help you overcome the excuses and objections you might use to negate your commitment to exercise. When your trainer is waiting for you, it is harder to skip a gym day and let them down.
3. Clarity
Your Personal Trainer will also understand nutrition as well as the physical side of your journey. Your personal trainer will use their knowledge to filter out misinformation, and your fitness plan will be tailored exclusively for you using reliable and credible information. You can focus on meeting all your targets knowing your trainer has your back.
4. Confidence
Gyms are intimidating, especially for new users. Working alongside a trainer, you will quickly grow in confidence. Your trainer will teach you to use the equipment properly, perform exercises without injury and help you enjoy all the facilities.
After only a few sessions, you will be comfortable working out independently. This can often boost confidence in other parts of your life as a bonus. This newfound confidence will grow and help you stick to the exercise program.
5. Avoid injury
With your new, personalised workout routine, you will feel some pain and discomfort. Your trainer will be able to assess if this is normal for the exercise routine you have. A personal trainer will ensure your exercise technique provides the correct results without any injuries.
6. Individual Attention
Everyone is different. An exercise plan has to be specific to you and take into account body mechanics, experience, goals, fitness level, likes and dislikes. A fitness program that “fits” is more likely to reinforce the habit and see better results. Our personal trainers also provide you with a tailored nutrition plan to keep you on track.
7. Sport-specific Training
No matter what level you play sport at, a personal fitness trainer can improve your performance. Whether your goal is to run a marathon, improve your golf driving length or walk 5k a day, a program tailored to the goals will provide quicker and better results than a generic training program and result in fewer injuries.
8. Training with Medical Conditions
Many common chronic conditions can be managed better using exercise. With exercise, conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension can show significant health improvements. A knowledgeable trainer that has experience training clients with chronic conditions will design a personalised training program. Your personal program will ensure your safety and provide a positive exercise experience.
9. Aging Gracefully
Ageing changes our bodies. A trainer can help adjust your program for those alterations to your body that ageing brings. Maybe you need more strength or flexibility training. Your trainer will assess your needs and adopt a suitable methodology to bring the best results.
10. Personal Training is FUN
Your exercise program must be fun. Maybe you could arrange a group of like-minded friends to train together, giving support to each other, and probably plenty of laughs. Alternatively, find a training partner; either method will increase the fun factor and shared expenses mean the cost of your trainer reduces.
