Oh thank you - I'm rubbish at witty headlines happy to hand the duties over to anyone willing and able. So um what happens when you turn VIP? Free trip to CDL?
It's also my birthday today - crikey what next, they say things come in threes.

I know people in chateaus get excited by these old sewing machines but they made millions of them and they aren't worth much at all other than novelty value (thanks antique road show). We gave ours to a charity that sends them to poor countries without electricity in villages.

I don't have much space to keep all the herbs and spices I like to use and they are stacked front to back in the cupboard, so I created a spreadsheet listing them. That way when I find a recipe I want to use, I don't have to pull them all down before adding them to my shopping list. I still have to dig around when it's time to cook, but I don't end up with duplicates, or thinking I have it when I don't.

Well, double whammy, birthday and VIP! Congratulations! Big party in the VIP lounge tonight. Have you purchased any lottery tickets lately? Maybe that will be your third.

He must have bought it by now though, wasn't he digging up around it looking for caves or sorting water or something... you can't do that to other people's property..

They might have bought it “en viager” paying an amount up front followed by monthly payments to the vendor for the duration of his life.

Add Marc from Going Solo in France to this list.
He doesn't stop.
I'm not surprised he's 'going solo' because I doubt anyone could put up with his negativity.

Plus he's got some kooky ideas.
He thinks smart meters are a potential means for 'the government' to control us.
Then he wonders why his subscriber numbers aren't rocketing.

One of his vlogging heroes is . . . drum roll . . . Dan the Man.

In Melbourne green waste is put in wheelie bins and collected by the council.
Payment for this is through our council rates.
So in a way we 'rent a bin'.

At our country place there is no provision by the council for green waste collection.
The expectation is that you take garden waste to the tip for recycling, for which you pay a fee, and then they sell it back to the community as mulch.
Double dipping at it's best.
Anyway this has resulted in the dumping of green waste out in the bush, creating all sorts of problems.
Fortunately a company from Bendigo started fortnightly green waste collection for central Victoria.
And of course we 'rent', pay a fee.

omg Dana!!! pushing her hair back, touching the food, wiping her nose on the back of her hand, touching the food.... do none of these people have any kitchen etiquette?

Why? The title says „gourmet food“.

Ive never been to France land but if they add dandruffs, dried nose secret and hair, who are we to judge?

They eat snails and frogs too, for God’s sake.

Will it restore leather that still attached to it’s original owner?!? Asking for a friend with a very saggy derriere…

Wow…that’s something my nieces would have done when they were 3 years old… And not for long, either! It seems like not using a cloth or linen napkin to blow your nose would be a no-brainer. It’s just disgusting to blow your nose at the table. . Maybe Snorts could discuss this issue in his next how-to vlog!

Oh him! I did watch him for a couple of months... then he started getting so depressing and rude sometimes... I'm here for a good time not a long one!

Here that’s marketed as “bonded” leather. Horrible quality. It ends up in landfills within a few years.

Well well Dan that throw away line at the end of his vlog "maybe it will have fallen down and done him a favour". He is going back to the chateau with Nick to cut the trees along the driveway, perhaps by the end of the week, weather permitting.
