Here's an extremely unique home for sale in Devon, UK. Built in 2017, it has 5bd and is priced at €1.950M / $2.122M.
Tumblr media
According to the listing, this house is under offer, so somebody must like it.
Tumblr media
I'm not too crazy about the exterior design, but the interior doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary.
Tumblr media
It has an open concept living space with a sitting area, dining area, and kitchen. The shape of the ceiling conforms to the exterior of the house. It's nice and bright inside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Each area has its own doors to go outside.
Tumblr media
The curved cabinetry gives the kitchen a retro feel, and the color and design of heavy 1950s metal office furniture. Also, the counters look like laminate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Instead of halls, it has very open passages to the bedrooms with lots of natural light from windows.
Tumblr media
This is nice, it looks kind of park-like.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that this is the main bd. It's a narrow space with the bed meant to face the window and there's space for a home office with a door to the terrace.
Tumblr media
One of the other bedrooms is similarly narrow and also has a door to the terrace.
Tumblr media
The terrace goes around the house and is just wide enough for lawn chairs.
Tumblr media
Looking at the home from above, gives the shape of a modern sculpture.
Tumblr media
The house comes with a lot of land- 7.6 acres.

so i got to rewatch the fall of the house of usher today since some friends wanted to watch it and picked up on some things i didn’t notice before (some of these might be obvious but i just like pointing things out!)
1. we already know that the lighting shifts to that particular usher’s representative color during their death scene, but what i didn’t notice on my first watch was that not only do their wardrobes correspond with their colors, their furniture and home/work environments are in the same color too! (and when they’re not wearing that color they’re wearing a color that’s one step adjacent on the color wheel)
the most obvious is camille’s white, but i noticed this time prospero’s red car and jacket when he gives his first business proposal, the red suit he wears to the meeting with frederick.
i also noticed leo wearing a lot of yellow, the lights outside his apartment, the box he keeps his drugs in and the sofa he finds the dead cat behind are all yellow (he also mentions taking yellow pills).
victorine also wears a lot of orange, and so are the scrubs she and al wear in the operating room, the shelves in her office and the fruits on her dinner table at home.
tamerlane is another obvious one, with all the green she wears, but i also noticed there’s a green neon sign outside her apartment, and bill’s BILLT gym also had green accents.
and frederick wears a LOT of blue, i would say maybe he’s the third most obvious? his house has a lot of blue aquariums, and the room he keeps his wife in is blue as well. morrie also wore a blue dress when she went to perry’s party. and not 100% sure if this was intentional but the folder perry drops off at his house was blue too.
1a. bonus detail i noticed, what verna wears when she appears to each of the siblings just before they die also matches up with their respective colors. the red cape with perry, the white security guard uniform with camille, her uniform when she comes to leo’s apartment to pick up the cat, the green dress when she appears as tammy’s double and the blue vest she wears during freddie’s death. vic’s is a stretch but she wears a light orange cardigan when she meets with her and asks to talk to dr. ruiz.
1b. another bonus detail! perry’s party was lit mostly in blue before the lighting turned red just before he died, which visually ties it back to freddie’s death later on. freddie’s and perry’s deaths were already narratively intertwined, with morrie’s choice to go to the party triggering the events that caused freddie to slowly grow more and more paranoid and cruel throughout the series, ultimately leading up to his death in the same place. i just think it’s cool that this narrative connection is also reinforced visually.
2. when verna first arrives at tammy’s place as candy, she speaks with a uk accent, but as soon as the roleplay starts she shifts to an american accent and does an uncanny as fuck impression of samantha sloyan’s performance as tamerlane (which, CARLA GUGINO??? you LEGEND) (also as a non american who generally does not hear american accents outside of tv and movies, the accent switch did not register to me on my first watch lmao)
3. in the last episode, verna places the items on each usher’s gravestone carefully, you could even say with respect, EXCEPT for frederick’s cocaine packet (which she just unceremoniously drops onto the gravestone LMAO as he deserves). it does match the speech she gives him during his death. for the usher siblings she was sometimes kind but generally neutral when she spoke, always offering them chances to say no, but with little remorse when they fail to prevent their own gruesome deaths. EXCEPT for frederick, for whom her spiel is absolutely dripping with contempt for him.
4. minor detail, but in 1980 when verna was talking to the twins about putting their drinks on their tab, she says ‘buy now, pay later’ which basically foreshadows the deal the two of them later make with her. ‘buy now’ meaning saying yes to getting away with all the illegal stuff they did throughout the years, and ‘pay later’ with the lives of his entire lineage.

Once Upon a Time in Silverstone | Chapter Six
Word Count: 8k
So it was official. You were dating your boss. Not the ideal circumstances but sometimes you had to follow your heart instead of your brain. Ever the sensible pair, you decided to keep things lowkey, until one day they weren't.
Warnings: Eating out (and not the kind you do in a restaurant) 🌶
Author’s Notes: Disclaimer, purely fiction, no-one is married in this alt-universe.
SATURDAY AM
You’d been in the UK for the last week, the longest you’d spent in your home nation since Winter break. Having found a permanent home during the last Summer break, you were almost there in furnishing the place to the point where it felt homely. It was a modern barn conversion, with lots of exposed wood and glass with plush cream furnishings. You’d been so busy with work it had been a true labour of love and you had just one room left to tackle. The house had three bedrooms so naturally, you’d allocated the third to be a walk-in closet, a vision that was yet to be fully realised.
As you stepped over the multitude of shoe boxes that lay scattered across the floor to get to the temporary rail that housed your clothes, you figured it was time to do something about it. You hated the place but there was only one store where you’d be able to find the shelving you needed. Ikea.
You spent the morning browsing their website for the multitude of options that were on offer and decided to bite the bullet and order some shelving units. You would keep the rails for now but you could at least get your shoes and bags off of the floor. Surprisingly they were able to deliver the next day so you pressed the order button and set about clearing some space.
While you were busy tidying, your phone buzzed. Looking down you saw that it was Toto. You hadn’t seen him much since your return to the UK as he’d been in London ironing out some deals while you held the fort in Brackley. In a surprisingly sweet gesture, he’d texted you every day to say good morning and goodnight and had suggested you meet over the weekend.
Morning Y/N, I hope you slept well. Are you around tomorrow morning? I thought we could go for a walk in the country and get some lunch if you’d like? 
Smiling at his surprisingly formal text, you typed out a response.
Hey stranger, I’d love that. The only thing is that I ordered some furniture and it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow morning. Could we have lunch and then a walk?
You returned to your sorting, grinning away to yourself that you were finally going on a date with Toto. You’d started everything backwards so it was nice that he was making the effort. Your phone buzzed again.
Sure. To be safe shall we do a late lunch? I can pick you up at 2?
Sudden panic set in, Toto was coming to your house. He was notorious for being a neat freak and kept everything hidden away in his office. You tried to echo this but you always seemed to accumulate clutter in your office. Your house was even more relaxed as you were always tired when returning from race weekends and often left things lying around.
Sounds good, I’ll share my location so you can find me, my address is not always on GPS. Looking forward to it. x
You followed up with your location as you knew he would never find it without the exact pinpoint. Numerous taxi drivers had failed to find it so you’d taken to just sending coordinates.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to it too. Enjoy the rest of your day! X
You smiled as he signed off with a kiss, something he’d never done before. 
SUNDAY AM
You’d spent the rest of your Saturday frantically tidying and pampering. Even though you knew he’d likely step foot inside your house for all of two seconds and you’d be having a casual lunch in a country pub you wanted everything to look nice, yourself included.
Waking up at eight, you hoped that your furniture would come early so you could perhaps build a unit or two before you needed to get ready. The tracking from Ikea told you that you were the next stop so you busied yourself hoovering the fluffy cream rug in your living room while you waited.
Sure enough, it was not long before the doorbell rang, meaning your shelves had arrived. As you directed the delivery man to leave them in the spare room, you clocked the long boxes and were worried you’d taken on more than you could handle with this build. As soon as he left you set about opening one of the boxes and reading the instructions. It seemed easy enough so you fetched your tool kit and set about building the first of the four shelving units.
To your dismay, it was not as easy as it seemed. You’d got as far as screwing the sides together but no matter how hard you pushed, you couldn’t slide the back panel in. Frustrated, you decided to come back to it and opened the second box, repeating the process and again reaching a sticking point. Huffing you looked at the time and realised with horror that it was past one o’clock and you really needed to get ready. 
Pulling out a black crochet sundress and tan leather gladiator sandals you quickly got ready, hoping this was the right vibe for a first date. Silly as it sounded you had butterflies in your stomach, something you’d not felt for a long time. You took extra care in doing your hair and make-up, trying to go for the no-effort look which of course took double the amount of time and effort. With one final hair tousle and shake you were done, with two minutes to spare.
Punctual as ever, your doorbell rang for the second time that morning, only this time you opened it to a casually dressed Toto, holding a big bunch of pale pink roses.
“I’ve missed you,” he said, leaning down to kiss you chastely. “Here, these are for you.”
Taking the flowers from him, you beamed, “I’ve missed you too. Thank you, they’re beautiful, that’s so sweet, let me go and put them in some water and I’ll be right out. Do you want anything to drink before we go?”
“I’m fine thanks, I’ll wait here,” he said, curiously peering around your entrance hall. You had put up some large art pieces, leant a huge arch-shaped mirror against the wall facing the stairs and had topped a console table with several small frames with family photos. 
As you made your way through to the kitchen your heart was pounding. Toto was a handsome man but you always thought he looked particularly good when he dressed down. Contrary to most, you found the white shirt and black trousered Mercedes uniform a little corporate for your taste.
You carefully placed the roses into the small stoppered section of your sink, turning on the tap and making sure they had enough water. Grabbing your handbag you made to go when Toto came through the doorway to the kitchen.
“I’ve just been admiring your photos, you were a very cute child. I don’t know what happened,” he said with a grin.
You edged closer to Toto, “You are so cheeky, let’s see your childhood photos.” 
“You’ll have to come to my mother’s house for those I’m afraid,” he said, glancing down at you as you set your handbag down on the kitchen island and wrapped your hands around his hips, pulling him closer.
“I’m willing to make the trip,” you said, reaching up to kiss him once more. 
“Good to know,” he replied, breaking the kiss. “Before we go, can I have a tour? I’m curious to see the rest of the house, you never talk about it.”
“Sure why not. So this is the kitchen, where I do the cooking.” You gestured around you at the bright kitchen space with white wooden shaker cabinets topped with light grey marble.
“Oh really, I never could have guessed that.” he said dryly, “I like it. It’s very well finished.” He ran his hand along the marble countertop on the kitchen island, “Did you choose this?”
“Sadly no, this was a large selling point of the house, the kitchens and bathrooms needed nothing changing.”
“Ah that explains why it’s so tasteful.” he said, slipping his arm around your shoulders, “I can’t believe I’ve never been here.”
“Shh.” you said, wriggling playfully out of his grip and turning to face him, “I’ve never been to your place to be fair and I have only had Rosie and George over a few times.”
“George has been here?” asked Toto, surprised.
“Of course he has, he and Rosie are joined at the hip these days and she lives just down the road.”
“I suppose.” Toto said, “I’ve not had many people come over to mine.”
“Ooh, so I’ll await my invite with bated breath,” you said.
“I’d love to have you over, I can cook for you if you want?” said Toto.
“You cook?”
“Of course I do. I enjoy it, it relaxes me.”
“How have we never discussed this?”
“How have you never told me anything about your house?”
“Fair enough, want to see the rest of it?”
“Please, lead the way.”
You made your way out of the sunny kitchen to the dining nook. The back wall was panelled with glass that opened onto a small patio and garden.
“This is nice Y/N,” said Toto, “I like this,” he said, gesturing at the huge blue Ed Ruscha print that hung at one end of the room.
“Ah, thanks, my Dad got it for me years ago. It’s travelled everywhere with me,” you said, surprised Toto was interested in your art.
“Your father sounds interesting, you should bring him to a race one day,” Toto said.
“Funnily enough I was thinking about inviting him to Mexico. I know it’s a few months away but I think he’d love it,” you said.
“You should ask Lara and she will arrange tickets.” Toto said kindly, “I’d also like to meet him.”
“You’re a braver man than most,” you laughed, knowing that your Dad would not be thrilled about you dating a man more than twenty years your senior.
“I’m sure I can win him over,” said Toto hopefully.
“Hmm let’s see,” you said unconvinced, “Do you want to see the rest of the house?”
“Of course,” said Toto, lightly brushing your hip.
You made your way back into the hallway and through another doorway to the living room. This was the most impressive room in the house as it had a double-height ceiling and again, an entirely glass back wall. You’d bought a vintage mid-century blown glass chandelier to fill the space and artfully arranged a cream boucle sofa and two armchairs around the cosy fire. 
“Wow,” exclaimed Toto, “This is amazing.”
Pleased as punch you smiled at him, “It’s alright I guess.”
“I love it, I need your help to redesign my place.”
You smiled, “Of course, for a fee.”
Toto laughed, “It’s always business first with you.”
“I’ll even give you a family and friends discount since I kind of like you.” you teased, “Want to see upstairs?”
“You’re too kind,” said Toto as you grabbed his hand and led him upstairs to the galleried landing. There was a small open section that looked down into the living room before it turned into a corridor with various doors on it.
You started to lead the way down the corridor, purposefully skipping the door to the third bedroom that contained your mess from earlier. Not missing a trick, Toto tugged on your hand, “What’s that door?”
“Oh, nothing special, just a cupboard,” you said, hoping he’d let it go.
“You forget Y/N. I know you well enough to know when you’re not telling the truth. Is it a cupboard full of all the mess like Monica in Friends?”
“You’ve watched Friends?” you asked incredulously.
“Of course I did, I’m not that old.” Toto replied, “It is definitely that, you’re blushing.”
“No I’m not!” you said, knowing full well that your flushed cheeks were betraying you. The effect this man had on you was quite something.
Toto reached out and grabbed you by the hips, grinding yours into his. “You’re sexy when you blush. It turns me on.”
Your hand found his chest as your lips met, your stomach doing backflips.
“Why don’t I show you the bedroom?” you said seductively.
“Nice try, I want to see the cupboard first,” said Toto, continuing to run his hands up and down your hips, exploring your curves as if for the first time.
“You are relentless,” you said, before turning around and pulling him towards the door, “I must warn you, it’s a mess.”
“I knew it!” said Toto smugly.
You opened the door to reveal your two half-built bookcases and empty boxes strewn across the carpet, power tools laid down and abandoned.
‘That’s not what I was expecting. I didn’t take you as the DIY type.” said Toto, disappointed not to find something weird and wonderful.
“Now that’s the thing, I thought I could be, but turns out I’m not,” you said, blushing deeper than ever before.
“What happened?” asked Toto, bending down to inspect your handiwork, “Surely you just slide this back piece in and it’s done?”
“Easier said than done. I tried but I’m not strong enough so I gave up,” you said exasperatedly, crouching down beside Toto.
“How are you planning to finish them?” he asked.
“I hadn’t thought that far ahead.” you shrugged.
“Do you want me to try?” Toto asked, turning to you.
“No, honestly don’t worry I’ll figure it out. We should go.”
“Don’t be silly, it will take two minutes, grab that end and I’ll slide it in,” he said, standing up and rolling up his sleeves. You couldn’t help but gulp as the veins in his arms flexed.
“That’s what she said,” you replied with a smirk.
“You are so dirty, I’ll slide it somewhere after this,” growled Toto.
With Toto’s help, you made quick work of finishing the two shelving units, even propping them up and fixing them to the wall. As he finished screwing the second one in, Toto looked behind him and saw the two remaining boxes. “Jesus, are there more?”
Guiltily you replied, “Yes but don’t worry, two is enough for now.”
“Nonsense,” Toto said as he set about unboxing the third unit. You watched in awe as he managed to connect the panels without as much as a glance at the instruction booklet.
“How are you so good at this? As if you have ever even set foot in an Ikea,” you said, crossing your arms as you watched him screw the panels together.
“Of course I’ve been to Ikea, who hasn’t?” Toto said, leaning back on his heels to admire his work.
“You’re full of surprises today,” you said, bending down to kiss him softly, forgetting that he’d get a full view of your bare breasts in your sundress. You’d opted not to wear a bra as the straps were thin.
“Mmm, no bra? Now you’re the one full of surprises,” said Toto, pulling you down into his lap, your back flush against his chest, his large hands wrapping around your waist in a way that you’d fantasised about many a time. He ran his hands up and down your torso, kissing your neck in exactly the right spot.
Just as things were starting to heat up and you could feel Toto hardening behind you, his pocket started vibrating.
“Ooh that feels good,” you joked.
“Not as good as I’m going to make you feel later,” said Toto, nuzzling your neck as he pulled out his phone, “It’s George, mind if I take it?”
“Of course not, shall I leave you in peace?” you asked.
“No, stay right here,” he said, a strong arm swooping around and trapping you where he knelt, his now prominent erection pressing into you from behind. “Hello, George.”
You could hear murmurs from the other line, George loved to chat so you resigned yourself to being stuck on Toto’s lap for a while. Wanting to rile him up, you ground up and down as he tried to keep a level tone with George, who’d called with some kind of problem.
“Look, I’m sure it’s no big deal, let me call them first thing tomorrow.” said Toto, his breathing getting heavier,, “I am sorry to do this but I need to go, I’m in the middle of building furniture.” More murmurs followed before Toto said his goodbye “Don’t worry about it, any time George. And don’t panic. Talk later.”
As he put down his phone, he growled once again, “You are so bad, so where were we?” his hands now running up your torso towards your breasts.
“I believe you said you were going to slide it in?” you said breathlessly, the grinding turning you on a ridiculous amount.
“I did say that, didn’t I?” he said, running his hand back down to where your pussy was starting to throb. With a deft movement, he flicked the bottom of your dress up, revealing your skimpy mesh thong. “Fuck me, no bra and this?” he exclaimed as he took in the barely-there fabric, his long fingers getting tantalisingly close to where you needed them the most.
“You’re fucking hot, you know that right?” you said, breaking free of his grip and turning around to straddle him where he sat on the carpet.
“Not as hot as you,” he replied, catching your lips with his as his hands wandered closer and closer to the sweet spot. Kissing you deeply, his fingers suddenly delved under the mesh and found your clit, drawing slow and careful circles.
It wasn’t long before he found a rhythm that got you moaning. “You like that?” he asked as you closed your eyes in pleasure.
“Mmm” was all you managed as he slipped a long finger in, testing you out before adding a second.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” he smirked, pumping his fingers in and out a few times before curling them in exactly the right spot.
“Fuck me,” you exclaimed breathily, his fingers filling you most satisfyingly.
“Don’t mind if I do.” he said, withdrawing his fingers and swiftly removing you from his lap, flipping you over and laying you gently on the floor, opening your legs and settling between them, “But first I want to do this.”
Before you had a chance to ask what it was he wanted to do he proceeded to kiss down your neck, his hands exploring every inch of your body as he pushed your dress up. He quickly divested you of your underwear and brought his mouth to your dripping wet pussy, his tongue bringing you to the edge embarrassingly quickly. Trying to grab at something and finding only carpet, you decided now was the time to ruffle your hands through his hair, something you’d been wanting to do for a long time.
You moaned as every lick brought you closer to the edge, his strong arms squeezing either side of your thighs as he bobbed up and down.
“Fuck!” you exclaimed as you got there, your pussy clenching hard as you came.
“Record timing,” said Toto as he came back up to kiss you squarely on the lips, your heart pounding.
“Why is everything a competition with you?” you laughed, feeling very warm and fuzzy as Toto lingered on top of you.
“Not everything, just things I care about,” he said, kissing your neck gently.
“Well, it’s only fair if I try to beat your time, no?” you said, grabbing at the waistband of his chinos.
“No, no, I wanted to do that, we have plenty of time later, it gets me off to get you off.” he said, batting your hand away, kissing you one last time on the neck before propping himself up to a kneeling position, carefully rearranging your dress,, “Besides, I have shelves to build.”
“For real?” you asked.
“Of course, I’m a man of my word,” he said, flashing you a charming grin.
– – – 
True to his word, Toto helped you build the remaining two shelves and fix them to the wall. It was almost annoying how easily he slotted everything together, but you guessed he had the size and strength advantage on his side.
As he bolted the last shelf to the wall, he stepped back to admire his handiwork. “Not bad.” he smiled, slipping an arm around your shoulders, “What are you putting on these shelves anyway? Are you turning this into an office?”
“Well… not exactly, I got them for my shoes and bags,” you said, feeling like a bimbo.
He chuckled, “Of course you are, the woman of many bags.”
You laughed, “I’m surprised you noticed.”
“I notice everything,” he said, glancing down at you fondly.
“I feel really bad that you planned this nice day for us and then spent it indoors building furniture, do you want to go for a late lunch?”
“Well I already ate,” he said very seriously before cracking up and laughing at his own joke.
“Hilarious,” you said with a poker face.
“You know you love it.” 
“Maybe,” you said, reaching up to caress his face, “Let’s go, we can beat the rush.”
“Sure. Let me just find my phone, I put it down somewhere.” Toto dropped his arm from around you, searching around the room before spotting his phone, on the floor in the corner. Bending down to pick it up, his eyes widened, “Scheiße!”
“What’s up?” you asked, concerned that something bad had happened.
Toto stood up, muttering under his breath as he stood up and passed the phone over. “Look.”
You glanced down to read the notifications, all from George.
14:42 Toto, I don’t know why but it won’t let me hang up. Is that Y/N with you?
14:46 Don’t think I’m supposed to be hearing this. 
14:48 Right so I managed to turn my phone off and break the connection. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone.
14:50 Well Rosie is with me but she won’t tell either.
14:51 I’ll leave you to it.
“Fuck.” you exclaimed as you finished reading the thread of messages. “How does that even happen?”
“I don’t know, I thought I had hung up.” said Toto, horrified, “I don’t know how much he heard but it was enough for him to say that.”
You grimaced, cringing as you tried to recall what you might have said to each other in the throes of passion. “I can’t believe Rosie was there too, maybe we just have a quiet word with them both tomorrow? I take Rosie, you take George?” you suggested, trying to think how to make this situation less awkward. Rosie of course knew a certain amount but you weren’t about to let Toto know that.
“No, I think we talk to them together.” said Toto, “It’s better that we put on a united front. I don’t want them to think we’re fucking about.”
You raised your eyebrow, “But isn’t that exactly what we were just doing?”
“No, we are more serious.” Toto said, his expression neutral, “I know it is early days but I know that I want to make this work long-term.”
Surprised by his admission you wrapped your arms around him, gazing up into his chocolate-brown eyes, “I do too.”
“You do?” he said.
“Why would you think I wouldn’t? I wouldn’t risk it all for a one-time thing. I like you Toto, a lot. Christ knows we spend enough time with each other.”
Toto smiled, dimples forming, “I’m glad you say that. I like you a lot too.”
“Well, glad that’s settled then, shall we go and get a bite to eat?” you suggested.
MONDAY AM
As you walked into your office on Monday morning, you felt nervous for the first time in a long time. You’d discussed with Toto a game plan on what to say to George and Rosie, making your mission first thing to put some time in with them. Sophie, your ever-helpful EA, had been curious why you, Toto, George and Rosie had needed to urgently meet on a Monday morning as you didn’t normally call meetings first thing, let alone with such a random assortment of people. You were grateful for her but sometimes she asked too many questions for her own good.
“Toto wants to discuss George’s participation in Drive to Survive.” you lied.
“But why does Rosie need to be there? Surely Emily should be there too?” asked Sophie. 
She had a point as Emily was George’s press officer. You quickly thought on your feet, “No, just Rosie for this one, she has been assisting me closely on the scripts for the talking heads.”
“Oh, I see, that makes sense. Are you sure you don’t want me to add Emily? Or I can take minutes?”
“Honestly, it’s fine Sophie, Rosie will take minutes,” you said, trying not to get annoyed as Sophie was only trying to help.
“No worries, I’ve just checked with Lara and ten thirty works for Toto.”
Feigning surprise, you thanked Sophie, “Great, thank you for sorting that out.” Of course, you knew full well that Toto could do ten thirty as you’d discussed it last night over a glass of wine.
“No problem, is there anything else?”
“No, that's all for now, thank you Sophie.” you bid your assistant goodbye as she left your office.
Rosie had of course texted you last night. You were close and you felt extra awkward as you had outright lied to her before.
Y/N, did we hear what we thought we just heard? 
You hadn’t wanted to reply without Toto so left it at that.
Hey Rosie, let’s catch up tomorrow. I’m so sorry. X
Ever the understanding friend, she had replied with a simple.
Oh God, I hope you are okay! I’m sorry if we ruined anything. Speak tomorrow x
Ten-thirty came around quickly and as you made your way next door to Toto’s office you were relieved to see that he was sitting at his desk alone. As you shut the door behind you he looked up and smiled at you, peering over his round glasses.
“So…” he said awkwardly, “How did you sleep?”
Taking the seat opposite him you grimaced, “I won’t lie, I didn’t have the best night’s sleep, how about you?”
“Four hours tops.” he sighed, taking off his glasses and leaning forward to look into your eyes, “You still look beautiful, how do you do it?”
Shaking your head you replied, “I really don’t but I’ll take the compliment.” Aware of Toto’s glass-walled office you discreetly reached out for his hand across the desk, “Don’t fret, you’re his boss, what’s he going to say?”
Toto looked worried, “I worry that he will lose respect for me…”
“Hey, am I that hideous?” you said.
“I’m not going to warrant such a silly question with an answer,” he cooed, “What’s the saying? You don’t shit where you eat?”
“You and your analogies,” you rolled your eyes, dropping his hand as you spied George walking towards the door out of the corner of your eye.
Toto stood up to greet George, gesturing for him to sit down on the chair beside you.
“Hello George, how are you today?”
Looking incredibly awkward, George managed a quiet “Good thank you, and yourselves?”
“Good.” you and Toto replied in unison.
Trying to break the tension Toto fussed around pulling up another chair to his side of the desk, “Y/N, do you want to come here so Rosie has a seat when she comes?”
“Sure,” you said, offering George a sympathetic look. Poor guy was probably scarred for life. Thankfully Rosie came in, looking less worried than her boyfriend.
“Morning Toto, morning Y/N,” she said chirpily, taking your recently vacated seat next to George.
“Good morning,” said Toto, sitting back in his chair and folding his hands in his lap. “So I don’t want to make this too painful but we have the elephant in the room. First of all, I wanted to say how sorry I am, I don’t know how it happened as I am certain I hung up, but you shouldn’t have had to hear what you overheard. I hope you don’t think lowly of us.” he paused, “Secondly, this is not the way we wanted you to find out but recently Y/N and I have become romantically involved and would appreciate your discretion on this. It’s new and I’m hoping it will be something long-term…”
“Eee,” Rosie squealed, barely containing her joy.
“Rosie!” you hissed as Toto looked rather taken aback.
“Well that’s not the reaction I expected, thank you for your blessing Rosie.” Toto smiled. “Like I was saying, we’re hoping to go the distance but it’s new and I would appreciate this not going beyond this room.”
“Of course,” said Rosie. “For what it’s worth, I’m really happy for you. Y/N helped protect George and me in the early days and we’ll obviously do the same.”
George had still not said a single word and you saw Rosie give him a not-so-subtle kick under the desk.
“We won’t tell anyone,” he said blankly, less enthusiastically than his girlfriend.
“Thank you both,” said Toto curtly, his brow furrowed as he tried to scrutinise the young driver.
“Toto,” said George quietly.
“Yes?”
“How long has this been going on?”
Toto looked at you for guidance on what to say before you sighed, knowing it was time to fess up. “Not long, since Montreal. It’s very new.”
George and Rosie exchanged a look, before George answered carefully, “I see, did it happen by any chance when you both missed the team dinner?”
You smiled weakly, “I don’t want to scar you with the details but yes, we got talking and one thing led to another.” You shot an apologetic glance towards Rosie but you needn’t have worried as she couldn’t have looked happier at your admissions.
Toto blushed, clearly casting his memory back to that night. It had been unexpected but certainly memorable.
“Knew it. And you being weird to each other on the plane, were you trying to hide it?” George continued his line of questioning.
You both nodded.
“I see.”
You exchanged a glance with Toto, not sure what to make of George’s interrogation.
“George, I am sorry you had to find out this way, and Rosie too,” Toto said, sighing.
“It’s okay,” said George, looking down at his feet before looking up with a glint in his eye and adding “You sounded like you were having a great time.”
It was your turn to blush, you still struggled to recall what you’d said in the moment but you knew it had to have been spicy. For once in his life, Toto was speechless and his mouth dropped open at George’s cheeky comment.
“George!” exclaimed Rosie, playfully slapping him on the shoulder, making him break out into a wide smile.
You smiled gratefully at Rosie for breaking the tension and decided it was time to wrap this meeting up, “Well I’m glad you’re not too scarred.”
“Oh no, I am,” said George, “I need therapy and ear bleach.”
“Very funny,” said Toto.
George grinned away at his boss, content with making him squirm with embarrassment. “It’s okay Toto, we’re all human and to be honest, I wasn’t that surprised. Everybody has been saying you two should get together.”
Toto’s eyebrows shot up, “Who’s everybody?”
George exchanged a panicked look with Rosie, “Um, just a few people.”
“Which people?” you interjected.
“Well…” George started to talk but was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Lara of all people.
Toto looked a little annoyed but called out, “Yes, come in.”
Lara opened the door and strode in, greeting you all with a nod, “Good morning all, I am so sorry to interrupt but I have Ola on the other line. He says it’s urgent.”
“Fine, I’ll take it,” said Toto.
“Great, I’ll put him through,” said Lara, making an exit.
“We’ll leave you in peace then.” you said, turning to Toto, “Glad we talked.”
“Thank you Y/N, and thank you both for being so understanding.” Toto said, sighing as his conference phone started to ring, “I had better take this.”
“Thank you, Toto, see you later,” said George, getting up.
“Yes thank you, Toto,” said Rosie, “See you soon.”
You met Toto’s eyes softly and smiled as he picked up the phone and mouthed, “See you.”
As you made your way out of his office and into yours, you caught up with George and Rosie.
“Thank you both,” you said kindly, “We appreciate it.”
“Honestly it’s fine.” said George, “If anything it gave us a laugh yesterday. Our Sunday was very dull compared to yours.”
You blushed again, “Jesus, you’re never going to let us live this down are you.”
“Nope,” the young couple said in unison.
“Right, well I’d better go and get some work done, I’ll see you both later,” you said as you opened your office door.
“Yes, and we’ll have a full debrief later,” said Rosie.
You sighed, “Of course.”
– – – 
The rest of the morning was filled with meetings and it wasn’t until later in the day that you managed to catch up with Rosie. You were strictly supposed to be meeting to discuss an upcoming media day but inevitably the conversation began with the morning’s meeting.
“I’m sorry about this morning, Toto was mortified and so am I. And I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, it was brand new...” you began.
“Honestly don’t worry about it, we’re all adults and I understand why you didn’t want to spill yet. I just want the juicy details. From what we heard he sounds good.” said Rosie, a grin forming,. “When you say you got together in Montreal did you sleep together? What we heard didn’t sound like the first time.”
You paused, knowing that Toto wouldn’t want you to share too much, “You are awful. For the record, yes, I spent the night in his room, yes we had sex and no you are not getting any further details.”
“Oooh.” said Rosie, “But I bet he’s good, no?”
“Jeez, you are not going to let this go are you.” you groaned, “You have to swear to me that you’re not going to tell a soul, and if you do I will assign you all transcription duties from now until the end of next season.”
“Deal,” said Rosie.
“Okay, well yes he knows what he’s doing.” you said, “Happy?”
“Knew it.” she said smugly, “I wish I could get George to do what I think he was doing.”
“Rosie!” you exclaimed, “Thank you for that vision.”
“Sorry, just saying though,” said Rosie.
You laughed, “You are terrible, you know that right?”
“Yes, it’s why you love me.” said Rosie, opening up her notebook, “So about this media day…”
SATURDAY PM
As your office was so close to Silverstone, the weekend so far had been well and truly a home Grand Prix. The media day on Thursday had been busy, as had Free Practice on Friday but it was nice being able to go home and sleep in your own bed as opposed to a hotel. By the time Saturday rolled around you were feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges the day threw at you. 
Unfortunately, qualifying had been somewhat of a disaster with Lewis’ engine blowing out and the garage scrambling to get the car ready in time for the race. He’d managed a paltry P14 and ran the risk of a penalty if too many parts were changed. George hadn’t fared much better, barely scraping P8. Toto had been inundated with post-qualifying media requests, all wanting to be involved in the drama.
Finishing up one last interview with Sky, you both returned to Toto’s office for a debrief. As Toto sat down opposite you, he bowed his head and ran his hands through his hair, something you now knew meant that he was feeling stressed.
“What a fuck-up.” he said, frustrated with the outcome.
“Don’t say that, we’ve come back from worse,” you said, trying to reassure him.
“This is bad Y/N, we can’t afford to fuck up like this.”
Getting up out of your chair you made your way across to Toto, putting an arm around him and stroking his shoulder, trying to ease out the tension, “The team is working on it. Yes, we might be here all night but they’re a brilliant bunch of guys and they’ll sort it. You have the best driver in the world in the car tomorrow, if anyone will make up the points it’s Lewis.”
Toto looked up at you and smiled resignedly, “You’re much more optimistic than me. I have to think about the worst possible outcome.” 
“There’s my little ray of sunshine,” you laughed, bending down to kiss him gently. Just as you were mid-peck, Toto’s door burst open to reveal a harassed-looking Lara.
“Oh.” said Lara, “I can come back, I didn’t know you had company”
You leapt up, taking a wide step away from Toto. 
“Well, that’s a bit late now, isn’t it?” said Toto bluntly.
“Indeed,” said Lara, her expression unreadable.
Feeling incredibly awkward you shuffled around to the other side of Toto’s desk, unsure of what Lara was going to say next.
“Look, I know that you are well aware that Y/N are close but there have been recent developments…” Toto said, pausing as if choosing his words carefully, “We have grown very fond of each other and we’ve started seeing each other outside of work.”
Lara raised her eyebrows, “Oh, I see.” She turned to you, shooting you a particularly dirty look before muttering under her breath, “Now everything makes sense.”
“What makes sense Lara?” you said, immediately ready to unleash your temper. Lara was always full of snide remarks to you and your team but was always sneaky enough to refrain in front of her boss. 
Looking annoyed, Toto stood up, using his imposing height to his full advantage,, “Sorry, I did not catch that.”
Lara turned back towards her boss, seemingly oblivious to his bubbling anger, “I don’t want to misstep here Toto but everyone says Y/N only got the job because she’s young and pretty.”
“Who is this everyone?” said Toto, a vein starting to pop in his forehead.
“Everyone in the paddock,” said Lara, folding her arms smugly before turning back to you “They’ve seen the way she flirts with everybody, wearing the tightest uniform she could find.”
Toto took a step forward, “Get out.”
“Excuse me?” said Lara, taken aback.
“You heard me, get out.” said Toto, “Never insinuate that about Y/N. We hired her because she was a good fit for the team. I have never been so insulted in my life.”
“Toto, that’s not what I was saying,” Lara said, now desperately trying to backtrack.
“I know what you were trying to say,” Toto said, his tone level but his eyes narrowed with anger.
“Look, whatever this is, I didn’t see anything,” said Lara holding her hands up.
“Okay.” said Toto flatly, “Please apologise to Y/N.”
“Why?” said Lara indignantly.
“Lara, you are on thin ice. I am this close to going down to HR and telling them what happened. I don’t seem to remember you being so judgmental when I caught you sucking Ed’s dick on the beach in Zandvoort, but maybe you’ve forgotten that?”
You were stunned, Toto had never told you this story. It explained Lara’s strange attitude, knowing that your boss had witnessed you going down on one of the mechanics would definitely throw the dynamic out.
“Toto, that’s low.” said Lara, “It was a one-time thing. I thought we agreed to never bring it up, especially not in front of company.”
“I am not going to have you chastise me for doing something when you did something ten times worse. And I’m not going to stand by and let you insult someone who I care very deeply about” Toto came to your side, resting his arm behind you.
Sensing she was defeated Lara conceded, “Fine, you do whatever you want, I won’t judge. I think you could do better though Toto, she’s not all that.”
You could now feel Toto shaking with rage behind you, “What did you just say?”
Lara shrugged, “I just think you could do better. Why would you want this short thing that looks like she’s been around the block and then some?”
At that it was your turn to fly off the handle, “I’m sorry Lara but what the fuck is your problem? Do you have a thing for Toto?”
“Of course not.” Lara hissed as there was suddenly a knock at the door. “Fuck, that’s Lewis and George, that’s why I came up here. They wanted to talk to you.”
Toto dropped his arm from behind you and took a step back, “Lara, we will pick up this discussion later.”
“Fine,” she huffed.
“We will talk. Well, why are you just standing there, let them in,” commanded Toto.
“I’m going to leave you in peace,” you said, trying to edge out past Lara as she opened the door.
“Hey guys, everything okay?” said Lewis.
“Yes thank you, I was just leaving, I’ll be next door if you need me, with Lara,” you said firmly.
“Fine,” said Lara, still sulking.
“Hi guys,” said George cheerily, his smile dropping when he clocked the stony faces in the room. 
“Hello.” said Toto, very seriously, “What can I do for you?”
As you closed the door you took one last look at Toto, who looked positively livid, with not a trace of the warmth that normally danced across his face. He had a scary temper and you were always glad to not be on the receiving end. You silently wished Lewis and George luck knowing that he was not going to be receptive to whatever they had to say.
Making your way out into the office outside of yours and Toto’s, you turned to Lara, “Lara, look I’m sorry about that. I really am, it was unprofessional of me but he is stressed and I was just trying to help.”
Lara huffed, “I have to deal with him when he’s stressed but I tend to not shove my tongue down his throat.”
“For fuck’s sake, it was a quick peck Lara, calm down,” you said exasperated.
“Oh that’s interesting, who else do you do this with?” she said sassily.
“What is your problem? Honestly, do you have a thing for Toto?” 
“Of course, I don’t. Better you than me on that one.”
“So why are you so upset?”
“Because you don’t know the amount of shit he has given me for the Ed incident.” she said, suddenly lowering her voice, “He has held that above me for three years, one fuck up and I just know he’ll go to HR.”
“Toto’s not like that.” you said, shaking your head, “There must be more to it.”
“Ed’s married, Y/N,” she said. “Toto said he’d tell his wife if he ever went near me or any other woman in the team again.”
Your eyes widened, “Oh.”
“Oh indeed,” said Lara, “As I said, it was a one-time thing, you know how drunk everyone gets in Zandvoort. We went to the beach in the evening and one thing led to another and you know… and then who the fuck takes a beach walk at night alone. Toto scared the hell out of us, coming looming out of the dark. I get why he was angry but he got personal when he shouldn’t have stuck his nose in.”
“I see,” you said, still trying to figure Lara out. Now it made sense why she was not particularly friendly with the rest of the team, “Look, we all make mistakes. I’m sure he was just trying to protect you.”
“But it’s so chauvinistic, I don’t need protecting. And now I find out he’s a filthy hypocrite. The lecture he gave Ed and me about not starting relationships with co-workers and I find out he’s doing it.”
“I understand why you’re upset. Let’s let him cool off and we’ll talk again later? For now, I’d really appreciate you keeping things quiet.”
“Who am I going to tell?” said Lara, shrugging her shoulders.
– – – 
SUNDAY AM
You woke up early on Sunday morning, thoroughly exhausted having stayed at the track until four thirty, waiting for the car to be repaired and everyone to be happy. You hadn’t needed to stay but thought it best to diffuse the Lara situation as soon as possible. When you’d finally gone back to speak with Toto he was much more relaxed and had even apologised to Lara for his previous behaviour. More shockingly, Lara had returned to your office at eleven o’clock at night with a hot chocolate as a peace offering and apologised profusely. You still couldn’t figure her out but it seemed that she was willing to keep quiet for now.
It was a bizarre situation, you barely knew what Toto’s intentions were but had found yourself defending your fledgling relationship twice in the first week. You hoped it wasn’t an omen for things to come as you were starting to fall hard for the man.
As you made your way through the paddock you felt uneasy seeing how well-rested the other teams looked. No one else had had car issues like Lewis and you couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy towards your fresh-faced Ferrari counterpart who probably enjoyed a good eight hours of sleep. When you finally made it to your office you poked your head around Toto’s door to find his office empty. 
Morning, are you down in the garage? X
You’d barely put your phone down when it buzzed with Toto’s reply.
Morning beautiful, yes, they asked me down for some final tweaks. Let me know when you need me for Sky. x
You smiled, he was a very diligent Team Principal and it wasn’t a rare occurrence for him to be down in the thick of the action. His first media appearance wasn’t until noon so you had plenty of time to push on with your work for the day.
SUNDAY PM
The afternoon’s race had been a stark contrast to the previous day’s disaster. Lewis had put in a heartstopping drive and had fought his way all the way to P2, with George not too far behind at P3. You watched from the edge of your seat in the garage as the laps ticked over, Lewis edging closer and closer to the race leader, Max Verstappen.
Against all odds, your team were in for a double podium finish and the mood in the garage was electrifying. It was lap forty out of fifty-two and things were on the up, however, little did you all know that they were about to get even better. 
Verstappen had pushed his tyres to the absolute limit having gone on a different strategy to Lewis and George, relying on an undercut that never came to fruition. Lewis and George were gaining on him and fast. The battle that ensued was one that would surely go down in the history books as Lewis spectacularly overtook his arch-rival on the second to last lap. The applause from the home crowd was thunderous and you couldn’t believe your eyes as George perfectly executed the same move on the last lap. From P14 and P8 to P1 and P2 at their home Grand Prix. You couldn’t have dreamed of a better result and everyone in the garage was beaming. As the chequered flag was waved, Toto leapt up and scooped you up in his arms, lifting you in the air and spinning around, unable to contain his joy, much to the amusement of all those around you. As he put you back down on the floor, you saw a few bemused faces behind Toto and Lara smirking away as she clapped for her team. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

Mystery Solved! Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have purchased Sir Terence Conran's previous estate in Berkshire: Barton Court.
Tumblr media
Reports about the Princess of Wales' sister Pippa's new estate in Berkshire have been quite vague, but today I finally found the planning permits.
The Matthews paid £15 million for Barton Court, located in Kintbury, Hungerford, Berkshire.
"Barton Court was built in 1772 for Admiral Lord Dundas: a typical, red-brick, early Georgian house of five bays with a projecting central open-pedimented entrance front, enhanced by round-headed windows in the upper storeys."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The top yellow star in the right part of the above map is the estate where Michael and Carol Middleton live in Bucklebury, and the solid red dot on the left is the location of James and Pippa Matthews' new estate. Close enough for a short car drive to visit, but far enough apart to allow each family some private time.
The planning permit request is for "Relocation of an outdoor swimming pool and construction of a tennis court within the walled garden, and conversion of a potting shed to associated changing room and plant room."
Below is the celebrated walled garden that will be replaced with tennis courts and possibly a very large swimming pool:
Tumblr media
Sir Terence Conran was a famous British designer who passed away in September 2020. He founded the Habitat and Conran shops. He was also renowned for designing restaurants, office buildings and stores. Conran ran several restaurants and wrote more than 50 books about design.
Tumblr media
House and Garden UK did a nice feature on the property with many color photos taken by Princess Margaret's ex-husband, if you're curious about the interior of Pippa's new home.
From the article: "In earlier days a stone-flagged hallway ran from the door to the stairway between the enclosing walls of adjacent rooms. These rooms have now been gutted to provide a combined hall and living room of vast area: over a hundred feet in length." Looks like the original tile is still in place.
Tumblr media
Apparently, some of the family of Sir Terence Conran was very upset that his estate was sold, as it was said to have been his dream for the estate to remain in the family.
"Both the house and the estate, according to one visitor, were to be 'overseen by the Conran family'. But no longer: I can reveal that the house has been sold for £15 million, despite Conran's vision, which included selling fruit and vegetables from greenhouses and a massive walled garden.
Members of the family appear to be in the dark about quite why the sale has gone ahead. One tells me that it is the executors of Conran's will who are selling the property, not his widow, Lady Conran.
The interior designer Vicki Davis married Sir Terence in 2000 at Chelsea Town Hall. His children — Sebastian and Jasper by his second wife, Superwoman author Shirley Conran, and Tom, Sophie and Ned by his third, cookery writer Caroline Herbert — only learned of it later.
That was no accident: Conran's children, it was playfully said, needed an appointment to see him.
The executors of his will decline to comment. But I can disclose that Vicki has already left the house and a new family has moved in."
Little did we know in June 2022 that it was Pippa Middleton and her family who bought the estate!
But here is another article interviewing Conran's widow, Vicki. She felt the house was too much for one person to maintain, and that none of his many children would want the upkeep. Conran apparently did not die of Covid either. It's a good article, detailing his vast collections and giving you a better idea of what he was like. After living there 50 years, Conran's widow was given 8 weeks to pack up everything and move out by the new owners...
Here is the planning application map showing the property outline:
Tumblr media
Interestingly, the large buildings to the left of Barton Court are actually a very large custom furniture workshop and retail store. The owner, Sean Sutcliffe, "met Terence Conran and a firm friendship was made over a shared interest in making, wood, design and sustainability. They founded Benchmark together and our workshop and showroom are situated in the grounds of Terence’s country home."
Tumblr media
That should prove very interesting for Pippa and family - perhaps those who are royal watchers might plan to do some furniture shopping in the near future! I'm sure, however, that the Matthews family will have plans in place to secure the perimeter of their new estate - or perhaps Mr. Matthews will just buy Benchmark Furniture outright and have its premises moved. Pretty sure he can afford it, since they recently sold their Chelsea mansion for £22.5 million, £5.5 million more than he paid for it.

Lacey Cat (2024) #2
It was the first time I’m setting up for shooting in this place. I had to buy a new bed sheet for it because now I own a double bed. I spent some time testing placement of the camera (phone) the day before. It’s quite a bit more spacious than my old room in HK, but I’m still trying to show as little furniture or background as possible.
The ceiling light is very bright so I wasn’t sure if I needed the ring light. In fact I later put tissue paper over it to soften it, but then in the end I set up the ring light anyway and went without the ceiling light. I thought I got enough light from that and wanted to keep my room as dark as possible to avoid drawing attention in the middle of the night.
I also checked my outfit the day before shooting. It was bought over a year ago, and it was my only purchase after moving to the UK. I bought it partially to test how buying on Amazon and picking up from the post office works. It’s nothing fancy and it's pretty cheap, so of course the quality is nothing to write home about. Functionable, I would say, like most of my CD outfits have been.
What I didn’t think through though, was that it is a fluffy outfit. It comes with a pair of shorts yes, but the top is long sleeved and it's a hoodie. It’s August, and thanks to good insulation, I’m getting 24 degrees in my room at night. I was heating up quickly wearing almost nothing underneath and before doing anything!
I had to open up the windows, with curtains still drawn closed, when I was taking pics before the video. I was so glad that it helped. But I had to keep them closed to minimize the noise from the traffic during the video. Can’t believe I’m still struggling with noise from passing vehicles even when I’m in the UK (house close to main road =/).
That is one reason why I took the shorts then the top off midway through the vid, despite them being the main theme. I didn’t want to become a sweaty mess, and my makeup was bad enough without it melting.
Oh yer before we get ahead of ourselves and into the action, I need to talk about the makeup first.
Continue to Part 3:

Suede in Gothenburg:
Arrived at the festival just after it opened, met up with Scandi Insatiable friends and began the long wait in the tent. Luckily it was set up with benches for the orchestra so we had a comfy place to sit and eat and wait. The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra did 90 minutes with various guest singers (famous in Sweden but the only one I knew of was Jose Gonzalez) which was nice but not the main event. As they took their bows we swarmed the barrier and I got a spot near the end of the catwalk, facing side-on towards Neil.
Finally it got to 21:30 and the band came on to TOYBAY - leading me to suspect we were getting a set like the UK tour. I was wrong though as they launched into She, Trash, Animal Nitrate and kept the hits going. From there on it was almost entirely singles, with the exception of By The Sea and Personality Disorder, which meant rare outings for some of the hits that don't make it into the regular UK set like Filmstar and Everything Will Flow.
Brett went for his usual leap off of the stage for The Drowners but unable to go into the crowd, he prowled around the barrier, grabbing hold of my hand towards the end of verse 1 and keeping it for a precious few seconds. His usual mic cable wrangler wasn't in attendance so he had some trouble getting round to the other side.
He started making use of the catwalk at the end of We Are The Pigs, the stamping of his feet reverberating off the hollow floor, then followed up with a lie-down for a stunning By The Sea.
Following Everything Will Flow and Can't Get Enough I was worried that they weren't going to play the song I was hoping for, but then Neil was handed an acoustic guitar and Brett said we were staying in 1999 and he gave his Wild Ones speech about music bringing people together before settling on She's In Fashion. The Suede song that's been with me for the longest and one of the singles that has evaded me at live sets back home where they never play it. It was lovely, magical, a big check off of the wishlist.
So Young, Metal Mickey and Beautiful Ones signalled the end and I assumed there was to be no encore - there were no songs left! - but the lights stayed down and they reappeared to play Saturday Night. Brett strolled back down the catwalk and faced my direction to sing "sat there in a black chair, office furniture" to me. I didn't have an arm outstretched to him but he reached out for me and I stood on tiptoe and reached as far as I could, missing him by mere millimetres as the both of us tried to make a connection, him avoiding grabbing onto the hands of the people beside and behind me vying for his attention until it was clear he wasn't going to get to grip my hand again. Devastating, but still so special to be chosen by him despite the impossibility of his goal.
All too soon the 90 minutes were up and we all dispersed into the night, the wild afterparty becoming just a quiet drink. It feels strange not to be doing it all again tomorrow but thankfully I only have to wait a week to do it all again.

PARAMILITARY SCIENCE - s03e02
Sometimes I have to remind myself that I didn’t attend college for nothing orz
3026 words; not a stellar example of a professional screenplay, but that’s because I’ve purposely left in a lot of direction-based nonsense, making this more like a script written by the director instead of a separate person passing it off to a director; I think the actually-closest thing I can get to describing this is Doctor Who meets Wellington Paranormal meets Parks and Recreation and what a weird cocktail that is; do not expect this to be the only one of these, and that’s a Rock Fact; I’ve put some of my own fanon from The Thick of UNIT into here, but it’s not anything to tie into it nor does it impact much; it says s03e02 because that’s where I just felt this particular piece fit
It can also be found on AO3 with truer-to-style formatting: [here].

INT. TEMPORARY MAINFRAME UK – DAY
The camera peeks inside the slightly-opened blinds of THE BRIGADIER’s office from the corridor. He appears highly engrossed in his work, sitting at his desk, on the phone, taking notes, eating biscuits.
THE BRIGADIER (O.S.) Rough work, this. We really don’t get a lot of credit for what we do.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE BRIGADIER
THE BRIGADIER cont’d We here at UNIT are rather busy cleaning up messes that the world shouldn’t know about. With the leaps and bounds we’re currently making in modern science, it’s only a matter of time before we are the new kids on the intergalactic block.
CUT TO: SCENE – tea arrives. Through the blinds, we see THE BRIGADIER thank the tea lady and drinks some, staring at her behind as she leaves.
THE BRIGADIER (O.S.) cont’d The thing that we do, which is absolutely critical, is make sure that the Earth doesn’t look like it’s settled by a bunch of bumpkins and arse-pickers, which admittedly we are, but that’s why we have our—
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE BRIGADIER
THE BRIGADIER cont’d —headquarters slated for London, which is still a Jewel whether there’s an Empire or not. In the meantime we’re set up in the Home Counties, making do with what we can while more permanent preparations are being made. Just have to keep telling ourselves it could always be worse.
A pause.
THE BRIGADIER cont’d Could have been Leeds.
INT. CORRIDOR – DAY
BENTON and YATES are standing by the watercooler, chatting idly. Jo GRANT walks by with an armful of papers. Upon seeing her, YATES panics, tossing his empty cup and walking quickly to catch up.
YATES Miss Grant? Can I, erm, have a word?
They stop.
GRANT I’m sorry, but I really need to get these papers over to the Doctor. They’re readouts for the experiment he’s doing.
YATES The one with the photons or the one with the amino acid ionization?
GRANT stares at him.
GRANT You make it sound like I can make heads or tails of it.
YATES Well, you are his assistant.
She shrugs, uncomfortable, eyes flicking towards the camera.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF GRANT
GRANT It was either sit extra help in A-Levels or attend a three-part workshop on meditative interpretive dance. Guess which one was headed by a shirtless dish?
CUT TO: SCENE
YATES Listen: I just wanted to know if you were doing anything tomorrow night. Thought I’d might ask if you’d accompany me to the pub after work?
GRANT Oh, I’m sorry, but I’ve got to help my mum set up furniture tomorrow. Celebrating my aunt’s birthday.
YATES I can help…
GRANT No!
They both flinch. An out-of-focus BENTON can be seen smacking his forehead in the background.
GRANT cont’d Sorry—I mean, no thank you. I really must be going now. How about coffee later today? During break?
YATES Sure! I’d love…
GRANT scurries away. YATES shakes his head and rubs the back of his neck in frustration and self-pity.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF BENTON
BENTON The lad’s bent and the only one who doesn’t know it is him. Well, him and the Brig. Not like it matters, ‘cause I already gave that muppet Hills in Security a good thrashing last month for some less-than-choice words, so now it’s safe for Yates to be himself.
He leans forward. Focus softens slightly.
BENTON cont’d If he’d only get his head out of his bloody arse.
CUT TO: SCENE
BENTON walks up to YATES.
BENTON Come on now—it’s not so bad. You know, that blind date with Nancy’s cousin is still on the table.
YATES I appreciate it, but… (sighs) ...there’s just something about Miss Grant, you know? That maybe if I ask once more, she might go with me?
BENTON Just give it up, man. I don’t think it’s military men she likes.
YATES Yeah, maybe you’re right…
YATES sadly walks off while BENTON, silently mouths the word “BENT” at the camera from behind the safety of his paper water cup.
EXT. TEMPORARY MAINFRAME UK GROUNDS – DAY
Several military men are shoveling out a ditch, having long ago shed their uniform shirts and are now working in vests and bare backs. YATES is overseeing the work; his eyes are continually drawn up from his clipboard and towards the men. He pretends to keep focus as a PRIVATE jogs on up. He, thankfully, is fully-clothed.
PRIVATE (salutes) Sir, Captain Yates, sir!
YATES Yes…?
PRIVATE There’s been a breech in perimeter and you’ve been requested to mediate.
YATES Isn’t that what Security’s for?
The PRIVATE looks nervous.
YATES cont’d Well…?
PRIVATE She claims to be… the Master, sir, and the Doctor’s nowhere to be found.
YATES groans audibly and presses his clipboard into the PRIVATE’s chest.
YATES Take a break, men! We can finish the drainage tomorrow!
The men are visibly relieved. YATES and the PRIVATE begin walking.
YATES cont’d, softer Where’s everyone else?
PRIVATE Engaged, sir.
YATES Let’s get this over with then.
EXT. GUARD GATE – DAY
YATES walks up to where two GUARDS have a WOMAN contained. Well, not so much contained as entirely amused and bored at the same time.
GUARD 1 Ah! There you are, Captain! Can you please tell this bird to fly on back to Glasgow? She’s got no papers, and there’s no admittance without no papers.
YATES Did you really need to call me here for this? If we don’t get that trench dug and covered before the next solid rain, the range will flood again.
GUARD 1 I know, but…
YATES looks at the woman, who is idly popping her chewing gum.
YATES Why do you look like Mary Poppins had a child with Cesare?
WOMAN I’m hurt you’d even think that, Yatesy. I just want a wee peek at the Doctor’s TARDIS. Can’t you let an old friend play mechanic for a bit? He’s been grouchy while stuck here, hasn’t he?
YATES looks at the camera, completely unamused, before looking at the WOMAN, expression flat.
YATES What in God’s name did you do, Master, to get yourself a pair of knockers and a Scots accent?
WOMAN I was overdue for a makeover.
She winks flirtatiously; the men all visibly cringe.
YATES Listen: I suggest you pop off and find the Doctor elsewhere, yeah? I think he’s wandering about in that car of his.
WOMAN That is boring.
YATES His instructions are clear: you aren’t allowed inside the perimeter unless he gives explicit instructions to let you in. And we’ve got none of that. Now pop off. You can bother us later, maybe when you’ve got a beard again.
WOMAN Oh, Yatesy, I am the Beard.
She twirls her closed parasol as she turns and walks back out of the compound. A few steps and she turns, a grin on her face.
WOMAN See you soon, love.
She bends her knees in a jaunty curtsey and dematerializes. The GUARDS look astonished, while YATES is ready to scream.
GUARD 2 Just like on the telly…! Now that’s smarts!
Camera zooms in on YATES’s face. He is still not amused.
INT. GARAGE – DAY
We see various mechanical and scientific projects strewn about, all in some form of half-completion. A pair of legs is sticking out from underneath an antique car on jacks. Closer inspection reveals that it is the DOCTOR, tinkering underneath the chassis in his shirtsleeves.
THE DOCTOR (O.S.) I really do genuinely enjoy this planet, but I have to say, there are things about it that are rather irksome. It’s always…
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE DOCTOR
THE DOCTOR cont’d …“Geneva this” and “Geneva that”, when really all “Geneva” is, is a lake. Granted, it’s a lake with Silurians at the bottom of it, but still. All I’m doing is just waiting until the Brigadier realizes I’m technically here illegally, just so I can see what his mustache does.
CUT TO: SCENE
GRANT walks in carrying the stack of papers and a fully-laden tea tray. She looks exhausted. Putting her things down, she takes a biscuit from the tray and heads over to the car, holding it low to the floor.
GRANT Teatime, Doctor.
THE DOCTOR I’m busy.
She looks at the camera, smug.
GRANT I brought the ones with your favorite marmalade.
A hand snatches the biscuit and GRANT smiles. She returns to sorting the papers and laying out tea.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF GRANT
GRANT I know I’m not here because I’m particularly smart, but I am clever. It takes a clever one to rein the Doctor in. The boots are just an added bonus.
She gestures to her legs. The fabric of her boots are longer than some toddlers are tall.
GRANT cont’d He doesn’t stand a chance.
CUT TO: SCENE
THE DOCTOR is now having tea, having put his jacket back on. He and GRANT are talking quietly when THE BRIGADIER walks in.
THE DOCTOR Ah, to what do we owe this surprise?
THE BRIGADIER Doctor, we currently have a… situation with one of your… fellows and we’d like you to put a stop to it.
THE DOCTOR Can’t you see I’m having my tea? It can wait.
THE BRIGADIER I really don’t think now’s the time to be obstinate.
THE DOCTOR lifts an eyebrow. GRANT hides behind her tea.
THE BRIGADIER cont’d It’s the Master.
THE DOCTOR Then get him some tea and let him wait until I’m done with mine.
THE BRIGADIER leans in, serious.
THE BRIGADIER She has refused tea.
THE DOCTOR puts down his cuppa in a panic and bolts it. GRANT and THE BRIGADIER scramble to catch up.
INT. CORRIDOR – CONTINUOUS
All three are running. GRANT nearly goes the wrong way, but is pulled into focus by THE BRIGADIER. THE DOCTOR has all the finesse of a frog in trousers. They scurry about, not pleased.
THE BRIGADIER (O.S.) One of our most important duties as of late has been keeping track of the Time Lord known as “the Master”.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE BRIGADIER
THE BRIGADIER cont’d We have plenty of help from his school-time associate, the Doctor, but it’s still a full-time job these days.
CUT TO: SCENE
They’re still running. They’re still a disaster.
THE BRIGADIER (O.S.) cont’d Watching over Time Lords is like watching over a toddler and a cat at the same time…
CUT TO: CLOSE UP THE BRIGADIER
THE BRIGADIER cont’d …just when you think you have it, they surprise you by tag-teaming, making you lose all sense of time, place, and self-worth.
He takes a sip from a flask.
THE BRIGADIER cont’d The gender bit’s new. Would you like some? (shakes flask) Not a drop of alcohol; the Doctor calls it “Red Bull”. The future is really something.
INT. HOLDING ROOM – DAY
BENTON is standing next to the doorway, hands over his chest as he watches THE MASTER with a frown. The other three barrel in, shocked to see the woman sitting at the table.
THE DOCTOR Koschei… is that you…?
THE MASTER Don’t act so shocked, Theta, dear. It’s going to happen to you too.
THE BRIGADIER So then: she’s telling the truth.
THE DOCTOR The Master is a consummate liar, but not about this. Our species… we… uh… (gestures at her) …do this on occasion.
THE BRIGADIER …when you change faces…?
THE MASTER Precisely, pet.
BENTON Then how come we’ve never met one of you that’s a woman before?
THE MASTER It’s rare, but sometimes our leadership is all male-presenting in their regenerations due to a variety of factors. It’s nothing to worry about, since the opposite happens too.
THE BRIGADIER What do you mean “male-presenting”…?
THE MASTER ignores him.
THE MASTER Tell me, Doctor, what say you let me take a good look at your TARDIS and see if there’s anything in there I can help you with. My payment is simple: a dropoff at the old home planet with your spare parts. What do you say?
THE DOCTOR How long has it been since you tried that gag on me?
THE MASTER That all depends on how long ago we agree Jaakonmi Canyon was.
THE DOCTOR gapes wordlessly, his colleagues visibly worried.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE DOCTOR
THE DOCTOR We did not agree.
CUT TO: SCENE
THE DOCTOR Listen, Master—
THE MASTER Mistress. Missy.
THE DOCTOR looks unfazed.
THE DOCTOR Okay, Missy, first, leave me to figure out my own messes, because I will not give you the satisfaction of lording that over me. Afterwards, go and choose a gender-neutral designation for once because you know how that messes with things.
THE MASTER You’re no fun. You used to be fun.
THE DOCTOR You used to be sane, and then you looked into the Schism.
The camera zooms in momentarily on GRANT and BENTON.
GRANT whispers Are you understanding any of this?
BENTON Not a word.
GRANT Thank you for being the only other normal one here.
THE BRIGADIER Come on now, Master. You heard the Doctor. Pop off.
THE MASTER groans exaggeratedly as she stands
THE MASTER Fine, be that way. I will be back after you remember how to play properly.
THE BRIGADIER You shan’t threaten us like that.
THE MASTER (bored) I really don’t understand what he sees in you lot.
She dematerializes again, vanishing.
THE BRIGADIER Well, that was disturbingly easy.
THE DOCTOR It’s never easy with the Master—you know this is a front to set something up for later.
BENTON Uh… if she could always do that, then why was I guarding her?
A MAN walks in from the corridor while casually eating a pot of yogurt. He is dressed in all black, with a Nehru coat and a goatee.
MAN Guarding who?
Everyone looks at him—it’s THE MASTER. Again. Somehow.
THE BRIGADIER For Christ’s sake, I’m going to have a lie-down.
INT. CORRIDOR BY GARAGE – DAY
We see THE DOCTOR and THE MASTER are shouting at one another through the blinds. GRANT and BENTON are peeking in at the scene, crouched down by the window. The row is muffled.
BENTON Yeah, you don’t get to see that every day. Doctor looks ready to pop a gasket.
GRANT They’re talking so fast I don’t think the translation thing is keeping up.
BENTON stares at her, ready for an explanation.
GRANT Whatever the thing is that makes it so we hear them speaking English. The TARDIS does it—I don’t know how it works.
BENTON Scared me there for a second—I can’t be the only one who gets lost when they start talking scientific gobbledygook.
GRANT You survived without me before.
BENTON Barely.
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF BENTON
BENTON in the thickest Mancunian accent Our kid’s not that posh and I appreciate that. Little aireh, but when ya closest two ‘uman colleagues both went to public school and the closest non-’uman sounds like ‘e did the same on ‘is planet, a bloke can’t get pickeh for allies in the workplace. M’wife wants to adopt ‘er, but that’s a bit much.
CUT TO: SCENE
BENTON his normal accent Christ, you can tell they’re brothers—the fact it’s not come to blows yet proves it.
YATES walks up.
YATES The fact who haven’t come to blows?
GRANT pulls YATES down to crouch on the other side of her and points inside the garage.
GRANT The Doctor and the Master!
YATES Ooooh, I wonder what they’re having a row over?
INT. GARAGE – CONTINUOUS
THE DOCTOR That was my yogurt! It was plainly labeled!
THE MASTER Maybe, if it wasn’t so plain a label, I would have noticed it!
INT. CORRIDOR – CONTINUOUS
GRANT I think it’s safer that we don’t know.
YATES Then why are we spying on them?
GRANT You know nothing about espionage, really!
YATES As though you know…
BENTON leans back so as to be seen around GRANT.
BENTON She’s an escapologist—(he points at YATES)—that’s more.
YATES groans, not entirely believing he’s having this conversation. He opens his mouth to say something when THE MASTER slams open the garage door and storms off into the corridor, making the Humans jump in surprise. All three watch as the Time Lord leaves in hopes that he didn’t see them.
THE MASTER (O.S.) I never…!
BENTON Well, that’s not good.
THE DOCTOR stands in the doorway, watching his colleagues.
YATES It almost has me curious.
THE DOCTOR Curious about what, exactly, my good man?
The three Humans fall over in shock.
GRANT Jeez, Doctor, warn us before you do that!
THE DOCTOR Then where’s the fun in that? Hop to it, Miss Grant—we’ve got to head over to Bucks if we’re going to get those atmospheric readings I need.
He retreats back into the garage. GRANT follows him dejectedly. YATES and BENTON look at one another and shrug.
GRANT (O.S.) Could you please stop calling it that? It sounds so weird coming out of you…
CUT TO: CLOSEUP OF THE MASTER
The camera is attempting to properly pull focus on her. She adjusts her hat and stares suspiciously at a hand holding a lavalier mic towards her, then presumably up at the hand’s owner.
THE MASTER Do I really have to wear that?
We cut sharply to THE MASTER ready for her cutaway interview. She is not wearing the lavalier, but a boom mic is in the shot for a moment before hovering out of frame. Focus is now pulled properly and she’s relaxed with a cuppa.
THE MASTER Why do I muck about as I do? Well, it’s rather simple, really. You see: the Doctor and I are brothers, and brothers irritate one another. Some brothers do things like steal the other’s girl, or put snakes in the bed, or eat yogurt that clearly doesn’t belong to them, or show up at the family dinner with some ridiculous adventure to tell and hog all the attention by having been an excellent and interesting son.
She shrugs, a smirk upon her lips.
THE MASTER cont’d I am an excellent and interesting Time Lord. He is not. Why wouldn’t I use that to my advantage?
She drinks some tea.

While Android and Windows devices can mirror to Firestick right out of the box, you’ll have to install a third-party software in order to mirror from Apple devices.
With that in mind, we’re going to give you a quick guide to Fire Stick mirroring, so you can put content from your phone or laptop right onto your TV. However, sometimes the tiny screen on your portable electronics just can’t compare to watching something on a larger screen like a TV.

Sportz TV is another great IPTV service for sports fans looking to stream all their favorite matches on their TVs – without actually having to sell the furniture to afford the subscriptions! However, many guides out there are still recommending the old APK (which no longer works) or are intentionally having readers download the wrong files.
Content Available: TV shows, Live Sports, Live TV.
Sportz TV Price: Starts at around $4 per month (for a 1-year subscription).
As the name suggests, Sportz TV prioritizes sports channels, with more than 500 channels dedicated just to sports worldwide. Sportz TV is an app you’re gonna love! Do you want to catch a football game in Venezuela then jump over to the UK for some rugby? You’ll never get bored, given the immense library of 13,000 global channels and over 25,000 VOD titles Sport TV has.
Content Available: Movies, TV shows, Games.
And then, of course, don’t forget to get yourself a Kodi VPN to guard your online privacy and security. If you haven’t downloaded Kodi on your Firestick yet, we’ve written a step-by-step tutorial here: How to Install Kodi on Firestick. Anyone looking for a reliable and always functionable entertainment platform needs to look no further. We think this makes Kodi a true ‘all-in’ app suitable for ALL tastes.įor this reason, it set itself apart as one of the best free home box office apps available for the Fire TV Stick (and Fire TV Stick 4K!). And if that wasn’t enough, Kidi even supports games. Apart from these, it has the PVR function, which allows you to record live TV and watch it at a later time. Kodi sah impressive music, movies, TV shows, and photo collections. It can do things you didn’t even know you might need. It is a free and accessible app with almost 900 addons. Kodi bills itself as ‘software built by the community for the community’.

Amsco Fire Ltd Unveils Revolutionary Water Mist Systems for Superior Fire Protection
East Sussex, UK - Amsco Fire Ltd, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of fire suppression solutions, is proud to introduce its highly efficient water mist systems. These systems are engineered to offer enhanced fire protection while minimizing water usage and damage. Tailored to meet the specific requirements of various buildings and environments, water mist systems provide an innovative and versatile approach to fire safety. Introducing Water Mist Systems: A Modern Fire Suppression Solution Water mist systems represent a cutting-edge approach to fire suppression, utilizing extremely fine droplets to cool fires and displace oxygen, stopping the flames in their tracks. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems, water mist systems use significantly less water, reducing damage to property while providing effective fire control. This makes them ideal for sensitive spaces like museums, data centers, and heritage buildings, where protecting valuable assets is a priority. Key Benefits of Water Mist Systems • Efficient Water Usage: Amsco’s water mist systems use up to 90% less water than standard sprinkler systems, reducing potential water damage and accelerating the reinstatement process. This also makes the systems environmentally friendly, helping conserve water resources. • Tailored to Sensitive Spaces: Perfect for environments where minimal water damage is essential, such as heritage sites and facilities housing valuable electronics. Water mist systems offer comprehensive fire protection without the risk of soaking assets, furniture, or expensive equipment. • Flexibility and Versatility: Whether in confined spaces or buildings with limited water supply, water mist systems are highly adaptable. They can be installed in residential homes, care homes, schools, offices, and commercial buildings. The flexibility of the system ensures reliable fire protection, even in challenging situations. How Water Mist Systems Work Water mist systems operate through specialized high-pressure nozzles, which release a fine mist that rapidly cools the area and suppresses the fire by displacing oxygen. This four-pronged approach fights fires by cooling, suffocating, containing, and minimizing the spread of flames. With the ability to combat fires from Class A (ordinary combustibles) to Class C (electrical fires), water mist systems offer comprehensive coverage for a variety of fire hazards. Why Choose Amsco Fire Ltd for Water Mist Systems? Amsco Fire Ltd is fully accredited to install domestic and commercial water mist systems, meeting the stringent standards of BS8458:2015 and BS8489:2016. Whether dealing with a residential property or a commercial facility, Amsco provides custom-designed solutions tailored to the unique needs of each building. • Expert Consultation and Installation: Amsco’s team of professionals offers expert advice and solutions, even in buildings with inadequate water supply. With extensive knowledge of building control regulations, the company ensures that every installation is compliant and highly effective. • Custom Solutions for Complex Needs: Whether it’s a historical building or a modern commercial space, Amsco can provide bespoke water mist system designs that fit seamlessly into the architecture and operational requirements of any property. How to Get Started with Amsco Fire Ltd Amsco Fire Ltd invites property owners and managers to consult with their expert team about the best water mist system for their building.
