The Chateau Diaries #232 Daffodils are not the only micro thing at the shatto

[Jules100]

I was accused twice of being Fanny. I've explained why that can't possibly be but now I've decided I will be your fanny. Direct all fanny comments to me and I will do my best to answer as Fanny would. (Not as she SHOULD because that's asking to effing much)

Steph,
Who is your most favorite and least favorite tartlet and why?
Tootle pip,
Jules

It is very basic... not even windy windows but push out and pull in... no air con...they're either hot or cold... the only ever mention buy me a coffee but not in your face with it... enjoy xx

I do like their humor and I will be trying to catch up on all their posts. Love the scenery and the little car and now they have a electric bike.
When we were on holiday a couple of weeks ago on Hamilton Island you drive golf carts only.
They are some what quiet and you have to charge them at night so it was interesting when Mr Boo was deciding to buy a electric or petrol motorbike.
I like wind down windows .... when "fast glass" is broken - mucho $$ for the repairs. I have air con in my car but hardly use it so their little car would be up my alley ------ except for people who drive with the road train transport trucks on the highways .... they are huge and that little car would look like a little pimple and not great in an accident!!!
I live in the city so that car would be fine for me !

Maybe he has actually gone to Puy Vidal to do laundry!

Ever wonder if Pu vidal's Daddy is looking for a friend in France????? how Convenient there is a clueless wonder boy just down the road, who would love to come over and give you advice on your Chateau... WTF makes perfect sense to me. and notice that the un-love bombing has begun with Snorts..... tick toc

 

[ComtesseRose]

What the hell would she do with all that butter? No..... don't tell me I think I am better off not knowing .

At least it wasn't the Philadelphia Cream Cheese...

I appreciate Belly gets things done, but I find him abrasive and a tad dull. Teabag has so much more charisma

Same, also he's a bully and an army deserter.

In other news Mary Quant has passed away. RIP. The 60's were something thanks to her and her creations.

So the print course not completely sold out yet even though over 3,000 signed up to the early bird listing:

Hey, There are now only a handful of places left on my Home Print Academy course. You can still join the course until midnight tomorrow, Friday14th of April, after that registration will close and I won't be able to take any new students. Unlike other online courses, I will personally help you during the live Q&A sessions, and I'm checking in daily in our private Facebook group, where I've already been chatting and answering questions with students. My goal is to help and support everyone to create something they're proud of, and this is the closest thing to being personally taught by me. If you've been thinking of joining then I'd love to see you on the course. This is a limited opportunity, as I'm not sure if or when I will run this course again. Registration closes at midnight tomorrow, EDT time. Join the class before the doors close for good: Anna x​

I’m so disappointed, I really like the PV family and the dad came up with a great plan for the kitchen and dining room, I thought better than the architects ideas. Why would they ask PhiPhi for input on the renovation, I can’t get my mind around it, so bizarre to ask this talentless git for advice

The PV’s just want more YouTube views. Perhaps Stephanie backed out and sent the B team?

 

[Just Grift Wood]

So what will tonights flogging missive from Faking it Fanny be? More Pathetic Potts? Waving goodbye to the errant Pube? Will it be late? Will it be dopey Davey? Will the structural works be starting? Will the accounts have been done?

 

[M&MsMom]

I thought Lalande Kirsty's surname was Wyld, as her Youtube channel is called Wyld in France, so maybe this other Kirsty is one of BG's cronies.

You are probably right - you've been here much longer than I, so would know better. All I did was hover on the tag and saw this picture and assumed it was a much younger Kirsty and that this was her maiden name. It looks like her, but I suppose anyone could slap a picture of anything or anybody and call it a day.

Does anyone else think it’s peculiar that Our Lady Dame Fanny Four Flues put out her Easter Sunday video on Sunday a the original format - without fuss and on time? I think this is a way of soothing the flight from Patreon and to help the dwindling numbers and revenue. There was no announced that she’d be releasing it…

@Jules100 could I please be a guest on the pod? - I still want my money from SJ’s Patreon refunded - never had a response to my request, maybe this could be my new way of getting reparations for the Grannies and I.

I haven't watched any of Stephanie Jarvis's recent vlogs, just makes me too mad, for obvious reasons.
BUT, from what has been said here, my take on Stephanie Jarvis filming, editing and releasing a vlog all in one day, i.e. Easter Sunday, is that she had that excuse in her back pocket so that she didn't have to socialise the whole day with her "personally invited" guests, who actually pay for their stay as far as I am aware. Who really knows? She used that excuse Easter 2022 so nothing new there then.
Hostess with the mostess - NOT! Especially as she used them all as content, just a bloody cheek imho.

I meant to ask this before.......Is this how really how she starts all of her notes, with just a "hey"? Or did you delete your name? Either way, pretty unprofessional.

I'm thinking the structural issues must be really bad. Maybe it will be so expensive that it doesn't make sense to do any other projects until it's dealt with. Problem is she can't bring herself to give money up for it, so she faffs around looking for distractions. I'm thinking she didn't even want to TELL US about it but cuz insisted. He looks like the bad guy not getting stuff done, when now we know, she just won't let him get on with it.

Part of the building is moving away from the other and has left cracks big enough to slide your hand through them in some places - yes, it will be expensive to fix. I think Fanny would have wanted the panels in the grand salon still (very on brand for her) and cuz stopped it when the support props appeared in place. The problems were there long before cuz started his works, the beams have been sagging for a while, the chapel has also been subsiding for a while - she knew (without understanding the severity the problem) and wanted to continue putting the lipstick on the pig anyway.

That certainly looks like the lady in question.

I wasn't sure which bike he would go for, I think he was torn... I had to laugh when Tim said the electric one enabled him to be heard in conversation from as a pillion passenger and Mr Boo thought it might be one of the down sides... It would be great for city parking.. xx

I have unsubscribed to PV just knowing this invite legitimizes the illegitiMate!

Timey Wimey Begins - Quick Jump to Sunday Morning

• We never see Mummy’s kitchen
• Fanny & Potty are strolling outside, but Potty is wearing different clothes on. He’s now wearing the outfit he wore on Sunday when he put out the Easter chocolate
• Kevin and someone? are playing an unknown game on the lawn
• Others are aimlessly standing outside talking (its warmer outside than inside, so put some damn patio furniture in the front courtyard so your guests can sit somewhere and enjoy the sunshine)
• Back into the kitchen and preparation for Sunday Brunch is in full swing
• Both Snorty & Shrek have allergies – thus the P & S on the tags
• Potty’s Hot Cross Buns are ready for the oven (they look more like scones) - never to be seen again
• Back outside to more games and the Easter table. Fanny isn’t doing anything except twirl, vlog and play with Jared’s dog, Josephine, while her guests work setting out food
• Snorty calls Josephine the dog a rat & a rodent (Snorty, I suggest you look in the mirror) Fanny has some fake tears but still doesn’t want a dog.

Sorry to have to ask but are these shots from the patreon video? Was it mentioned on there that Chateau Puy girls have asked for mancubs 'input' for designer tips? I'm having to back track as I appear to have missed some pages... I need to make notes as per Caroline Gooder, maybe I could get a journal especially for Lielande tit bits.

 

[Jules100]

My dad’s nickname as a child was Mr. Boo. He’s old now and his brothers still call him that sometimes.

I woke up in a very foul mood. I have a lot of work scheduled to be done at my house, primarily outdoors, that was supposed to start LAST week, and it's now the end of THIS week and nothing material has even been started. Some stuff can't be done until other stuff is completed. You may recall that I am an avid gardener.......much of what I need to do right now, I can't, because if I do it now, it will likely get messed up with all the work that's going to be done. Grrrrrrr....onward and upward, as they say.

Anyhow, my mood was not improved by hearing that Puy Vidal has engaged Philip Janssen in the discussion of their architectural work. This guy is treated as if he is somehow an authority - WHY? What renovations has he overseen? Besides working in a restaurant and living in a run-down, falling apart chateau that fronts it's somehow a B&B, what possible insight could this fake, wannabe architect/designer provide that the architects they've hired can't? To say that I am disappointed by this turn of events is putting it mildly.

This ugly, smug, fake little asshole who dresses like he picked his clothes out of the dumpster (or Stephanie's closet, full of relics from the 1980's) shows up and all of a sudden is the be-all end-all authority about all things design? What an affront to actual, real designers and architects! I could go on and on.........instead, I'll just go get my third cup of coffee!

And good luck with the garden projects.
I too am on a major re vamp.Large greenhouse coming down and new potting shed going up. New fence . But alll different companies all wanting a dry day too.. Lots of things in pots need to go in the ground and the garage looks like Fanny’s house - a mess!
Meanwhile in the laundry room my new drying cupboard has been built, but yes a master carpenter.
I am in love with this new space! Keep up Jules and Kathy!
