The Chateau Diaries #101 Dear Stephanie, I got you a gift - your comeuppance!

[Pekey]

I would be very surprised. Grape knobbles in your back on a chair designed for a someone of max 5' 2". Last time I sat on a set like this one it was uncomfortable. Spine + grapes = ouch
Fanny isn't shown sitting back and enjoying - she keeps leaning forward

They are in great condition and don't look like they have 'lived' outside over the years so my advice to goldfish brain is to get the paint removed correctly and powder coat them for prosperity.

On a cold day you will get a numb bum !

Not yet midnight - bit over half an hour and people in my suburb are setting off fireworks already !!!

Have an amazing day - the BBQ sounds perfect
Staying OUT of the crowds this year .. again .

2022 is gonna be a better year !!!!
(The tit show for the last 2 can’t be eclipsed)

So @Pekey Happy New Year

Thanks Mojo .... I wish you a very Happy New Year and I hope a Squirrel never comes your way!

Not yet midnight and its still hot .....26c .

 

[MojoDublin]

These red trousers.... Really ? Where do they come from ?!

Emamuse …. BJJ bought them FOR her


He’s dressing his clown
His all moving parts cindy doll
That his grandmother promised him

 

[LaFrancaise123]

Remember, I'm in deepest darkest Vendee, my neighbour says he's off to 'faire une commission'

That's the direct way to say it

Translated in english : the number 2

Two problems with this garden furniture, firstly they are cast iron, look at them crookedly and they will shatter. Secondly, you have to use cushions on them. otherwise you will have a grated ass.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

I like them as well..I love cast iron in general. I nearly fell off my chair when she was deriding them whilst sat next to that tacky hedgehog monstrosity.

I like them as well. My parents had a similar chair which sat on our front portico, and eventually it was given to my husband and I when they moved to a condo. The chair then sat on our front portico until we sold it before relocating. Heavy as hell to lift and not comfortable to sit on, but very pretty. Definitely a object where form outweighs function.

 

[MojoDublin]

Emmaus??

Snap

 

[Perplexed bee]

I found a TV game show for PJ, he would answer "my grandparents" to every question, and would finally be hilarious: Jimmy Carr's I Literally Just Told You - Series 01 Episode 02 - YouTube

 

[MidCenturyMadOne]

It hurts like hell. But you are lucky, I have to wait until January 19th.


I like this place. But I'm still hook to CD. It's "a plaisir coupable", a guilty pleasure.

I’ve heard Moderna can give a reaction. My Pfizer one was fine ( slightly sore arm for a day).

Does anyone know "Auntie Wainwright" , she was on British TV had a shop full of junk and if anyone came to buy she inflated her prices, Fanny and Snorts would have been her dream customers, she was played by Jean Alexander, Hilda Ogden off Coronation Street, we call our attick, garage and spare room "Auntie Wainwrights" so yes rooms do get given names !

Or the ‘I saw you coming’ store on the Harry and Paul show

The irony that Sophie Winkleman ( the actress here) is now Lady Frederick Windsor ( married the Prince Michael of Kent’s son)

 

[Pekey]

My Pfizer one was fine ( slightly sore arm for a day).

My booster was pfizer and I felt like I was dying! I am triple vacc'd.

 

[Le Comte de Monte Cristo]

That porcelaine display....omg...at first i thought they were sending it off to Emmaus...just for one second offcourse.. All that mismatched stuff...not complete...seeing it all together..just one big pile of junk..

Marie and nic appartment...no words...the floortiles in the new bathroom doesnt match with the sink..the rest is also an old heap..the walls loosing paint and plaster ..Does nick have a mask fetish.. Lucky there is a woodburner..Also the fact that Fanny says Marie doesnt want to be involved in the renovation of that place...hmn..very telling...

That gardenset she bought offcourse already...a long time ago..lies about the price..i bet when she has set up that set..no bird dare to enter the walled garden..so bleeping ugly..and not comfi at all..she plans to make cusions..when? for the summer of 2029?? that set is already rusted and painted over a lott of times..who wants to sit on that?? also cleaning it before using is a nightmare..and not even a matching table..what a mess up that will give..


The state of the terras.... all that crap Amaury has broken out, why not get rid of it right away?? put a trailer outside and put it on right away...otherwise you have to move it three times..or maybe she wants to keep it..??? because it reminds her of her father.. i guess there is one stable empty? maybe?

So they are all going on Safari...i guess thats why she showed her booster..it annoys me to the bone...all those people come and go..travelling..as if a booster is an excuse to travel the world...all that travelling has brought us this mess in the first place..We advoided to go to our house in France the last two years...but it seems we are the only one to do so..

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Happy New Year Dear Tartlets!
Champagne on ice and 3 hours to countdown!
Here's to a safe, healthy and happy 2022!

 

[Pekey]

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kotare]

PJJ on a game drive: his beanie gets hooked up in the low branches of a thorn tree, because he insists on sitting on the highest bench right at the back, the most uncomfortable bench right across the rear axels. He yells "my hair" and leaps off the viewing vehicle and lands on a sleeping baby rhino, the mother stomps the ground and charges him, as the driver put down his foot to get the rest of the customers to safety........ this rhino was due to have her horn removed the following day for which SJ was going to fork out over R2K for the privilege of watching it done by the local wildlife vet. She sheds a tear, but is thankful to have saved all that dosh, and wonders if she can get a refund on the return half of the airticket............ ( OK will try better next time!!) hahhaha

Happy New Year from NZ.
I‘ll be so pissed off if Tulipboy is paid for to go to South Africa. What an idiot and desperate fool of a cougar she will appear. An incompetent, bag carrying pretender of a man with an accent changing pretentiously to strange Home Counties by the day. An unashamed charlatan and femboy porcelain coverter of the first order.
God spare me and God spare South Africa.

Not yet midnight and its still hot .....26c .

It’s unusually warm in Scotland. 12 degrees, pissing down and I’m sweating my arse off ! I couldn’t cope in Australia have a great night.

 

[WMGL]

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watched the fireworks live.... Amazing. Happy New Year to all Tattlers!

 

[KiKiGee]

I found a TV game show for PJ, he would answer "my grandparents" to every question, and would finally be hilarious: Jimmy Carr's I Literally Just Told You - Series 01 Episode 02 - YouTube

Jimmy Carr for the win. Double entendres, all day, everyday.

 

[Pyke]

Tattlers worry ye not for they are going to buy some fabric to make cushions for said grape chairs, yes you heard correctly MORE FABRIC but this will be OUTDOOR FABRIC dont think she has been sent any yet ? Perhaps they could re purpose BJJ stuffed hedgehog collection to save having to buy filling, or he could cut his hair and use that for a tiny %, come back Selmar we need your hair too.

 

[Hemerocallis]

Or would Fanny plan on giving audiences in there..sitting on her throne i would not be surprised..having tea in the snug loo...

I always thought her role model was Marie-Antoinette but she may also be taking her cue from Louis IVX, who received guests while sitting on his toilet chair.
