THIS BROKEN JAW OF OUR LOST KINGDOMS

A playlist for Sharon Kay Penman's Welsh Princes Trilogy {Here Be Dragons, Falls The Shadow, The Reckoning}

"She must not laugh. If she did, she'd not be able to stop. Like her mother. So many years ago, but Joanna could still hear her, hear peal after peal of that shrill, hysterical laughter as her mother looked at her, at her bastard child, her 'mistake.' We pay and pay for our sins, she'd gasped. We pay and pay."

Tuesday

Claire loved what she did for those lost girls. She refrained to have her own career and family to be a surrogate mother for seven troubled girls and she couldn't think of anything better to do. If only money wasn't so tight. But that horrible person of a Mayor Rafferty wanted to see "results" before founding the project further.

Results, what results? Should the girls have splendid grades and go off to college within one season? That was totally impossible.

All the girls were giving their best, but they still were children that had endured horrible things in their lives their were more important things than grades and money, Claire knew. So she was happy to see the girls interact with normal kids after school having friends and being friend with one another too. That was more rewarding to watch that any money Cesar Rafferty could offer her.

Even if it mean sleeping on a sofa at night.

OC ask, 1

well. I have literally so many ocs I'm not gonna list all of them here (if anyone wants me to ramble on for paragraphs about really obscure two-frame characters, you can ask) but here's a few you should know about;

roger frederick claire (roger), peter sutton (pete), david anthony harrison (davey, who has the stage surname 'peacock'), charles morris (charlie), richard louis smith (snowy), michael andrew lily (mick), rory tevita locking (rory), sylvia tamsin chase (sylvia), james cassidy-bell (james), holly dorothea keys (holly)

and

james rafferty jade (jimmy), theodore klaus van alst (teddy), luke/lucas littleproud (lucky, I also haven't decided if it should be luke or lucas yet), arthur douglas floyd (arthur), peter edward byron morrison (peter), stephen henry casey ayton/stephen casey maple (stevie, and yes. he changes his name), christopher velvel goldstein (christopher), katherine acar robinson (katherine)

this is a basic list of the characters that play somewhat of an important role. second group of names is I'd say 'less' important than the first, in terms of how I'm going to structure the overall story, but they're still important and have their own story that fits within the starstrucks'

Aoife Mannion: when players at one team suffer we all suffer

[glimmerofawesome]

[theroleofimagination]

I saw a post asking about the former players' parade around the stadium at half time but can't find it now so I'll do a little post here.

I thought it was such a great touch, on a night that was really celebrating women's football in England and the Lionesses as a team it was fantastic to be able to honour the players who'd come before and fought so hard to make tonight a reality.

There were a lot of former players there, or 'Legendary Lionesses' as they were announced, I couldn't really estimate - maybe 50 or so? Maybe more - they were strung out as they walked round the stadium and the crowd cheered and waved at them. Some, particularly the older ones, seemed very moved by it - I'm sure when they were playing in the 70s-00s they could never really imagine that Wembley would be pretty much full for a women's game. There were a lot of players I didn't recognise as they were older and it was a bit tricky to see them all but a few I did spot (and can remember) were: Hope Powell, Gemma Davison, Anita Asante, Eni Aluko, Laura Bassett, Karen Carney and Claire Rafferty.

Faye White, Rachel Yankey and (I think) Gill Coulthard were interviewed before they walked round, Kaz, Bass and Raff were honoured on their recent retirements before the game, and Casey Stoney, Kelly Smith and Rachel Brown-Finnis were all involved in the broadcast so there were a lot of them at Wembley tonight!

I'm not sure if it was shown on the broadcast but I thought it was such a great addition to the event.

Claire Rafferty Returns To Chelsea In Commercial Role

Rafferty, who spent 11 years with the Blues as a player between 2007 and 2018, retired from professional football at the end of last season and now takes up a role as a partnership sales manager. She previously combined football with a position at Deutsche Bank, as well as completing an economics degree. 

"It has always been an ambition to work on the business side of football once I finished my career and I am excited to have this opportunity with the club I know so well,’ Rafferty said. ‘Having combined my playing career, the majority of which was spent at Chelsea, with an economics degree and working at an investment bank, I hope to be a valuable asset to the commercial team at Chelsea and am looking forward to getting started.”

Chelsea Commercial Director, Chris Townsend OBE, added: "We are delighted to welcome Claire back to the club in an important role. Her extensive experience in elite-level sport, combined with her business and analytical skills accumulated working at an investment bank will make her a vital member of the team as we attract new commercial partners, particularly with a focus on developing the profile of our Women’s team.” [X]
