The Chateau Diaries #259 PUDDLE- shallow like the Chatelaine & empty like her soul.

[OhIDontKnow...]

I would wager your good man would know it wasn't cancer. And knowing it wasn't cancer, but instead, perhaps, a pretty evident bacterial infection of a year's untreated standing, wouldn't blab to the patient it was cancer. Gonorrhea, maybe.
Constriction goes straight to the hospital? Good to know, and missing from Stephanie's account of the alleged Cambridge cancer diagnosis.

Why would he go to a specialist, get just to the brink of having all the tests done, and then quit and go home? Just because it would be inconvenient to have cancer in England? Or because it would be impossible to get home if the tests proved to be TB? It could be as simple as that. He might only have had a warning it could be TB because a specialist would find it in testing. I think he didn’t want to get stuck there.

probably. One of those countries. But we meant Bag Head Nick’s wife Marie.

I know. Marie-Caroline Laurent. I think she's French, which Clara is not.

The Chateau Diaries #76 ..I would gladly die for Herbert

I was worried cos I was describing the veneers on some of my teeth that my previous lovely dentist did and the new dentist looked at me like I was deranged and said they aren't veneers! You've just had fillings put on the front of your teeth! He won't criticise my previous dentist so I am...

when you get the needle with the little bubble under the skin , usually on the underside of your lower forearm , that would be a the Tb test to see if you have active Tb. you check it a few days later to see if there is a reaction. The vaccine would be different in the deltoid muscle of your outer upper arm, the same place flu/covid and most vaccines are given . Small pox vaccine was like a punch thing with multiple needles that left a very clear mark on your upper outer arm, my sister has one ( 3 years older) but I do not they stopped the vaccine by the time I would have gotten it.

My mother had them do the shot in the inner part of our arm so we did not have scars showing.

What? Everyone has that scar....what does being Iranian have to do with it? You're right....asshole!

If you had a southern mom like I did, chances are great that she had the doctor give the vaccine in your under your arm, so that when you got older and wore a "sleeveless cocktail dress", the scar wouldn't show! My mom used to tell me that all the time and was so proud of herself for having my vaccine under my arm - I can remember as clear as day not understanding what a "cocktail dress" was! A scar from a vaccine was the least of my worries growing up!
---

Ah, that's right! Sorry @Freesia! I was wrong! I do not remember how I got that one....maybe I was really young and wouldn't have remembered actually getting it. That vaccine scar is definitely under my arm, though!

My mom as well. She is British though.

 

[ploppityplop2]

Didn't she say that IJ was clear as she'd had "Chest and blood tests?." That puzzled me as I understand it takes some time to grown TB cultures. Unless of course, they already knew that it was TB before he was admitted to hospital (probably from the original ENT consult who may not have actually given consent for PA to fly.)


Interesting I never heard that even if done in Africa with a lot of money thrown at it a chest x-ray and tests will take min 3 days7 days to get started. I had a lot done latley and was constantly travelling its tiring in this heat. I doubt IJ would coped on her own with that at her age unaccompanied so a lot of family organisnf and co ordinating to arrange.

Could it be that IJ is vaccinated and therefore immune as she would have been up to date with jabs being a nurse and all?

 

[On Repeat]

Caroline Gooder’s uncle and mother died from throat cancer and Mummy and Stephanie thought Percy had throat cancer? Hmmmmmmm .

I think it was also said Isabelle's father died from throat cancer.

 

[mousepanda8]

my bet is on Venice

She dreams of Venice, living off patreon stolen money and not having to lift another finger. I hope for a 6x6 cell under her majesty’s pleasure for money laundering. She would look great in a jumpsuit! Don’t worry I’m not a monster, she can have it in yellow! Or even better she can have a escape suit as modeled here

Don't give her ideas.

Wouldn't mind her using that idea if we never had to see Snorts again.

I know I’m incredibly late to this, but can anyone summarise what Selma’s said in his video? I read many pages on these threads and tried all links, but the video seems to have vanished from the internet and I did not see any summary here, only a few comments referring to his video.

I'm way behind and someone has probably said, but the video is in our Wiki. Pink button at the top of the page.

 

[Pyke]

I wonder how Kat is enjoying Yurt sex this weekend?

More water problems for Dan coming up.

 

[Imperious Me]

I’ve seen Selmar’s FB post stating that he was hacked and also heard that he was hacked from several of my secret world of chateaux contacts. Nothing more to it.

I just looked at his FB.. says his Patreon is hacked too, so that's more to it!

 

[Tea with lemon]

Are you hosting your own Patreon Days as well @Tea with lemon ?!? Just kidding! Since it is summer (unless you live south of the equator), dishes with seasonal produce are perfect- a great salad, crudite platter, peas, gazpacho, fruit platter-whatever you feel like making. If it is hot outside, make cold dishes- and it is never to hot to fire up the barbeque! To go with the octopus salad, you can always put together a chickpea salad with feta and mint, gazpacho, caprese, crusty baguettes, a nice green salad... Cheese board is always a must! Coffee, tea, a good dessert, and fresh seasonal fruit. It doesn't have to be complicated at all. Focus on what is in season.

When I have local friends over for lunch of dinner, I usually make Thai, Italian, Indian, Korean, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, etc... to broaden their palettes. But when we have out of town guests, I like to showcase local/southern specialties- blackened snapper, brisket, ribs, shrimp (@billybudd will attest- there are fare fewer simpler pleasures than a low country boil!), pulled pork, and with side dishes like potato salad, homemade macaroni & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, baked beans (NOT from a can!) and a key lime pie or banana pudding for dessert and there is always fresh seasonal fruit- our local fruit is amazing. (Heat or not, I will use the oven when we have guests staying with us for brekkie- biscuits for biscuits & gravy, cinnamon rolls, banana bread, muffins, bagels-so much better from scratch!, hashbrown casserole, etc.- my brekkies are legendary.)

The biggest thing for out-of-town guests is that they are truly interested in where you live, so it's always fun to share with them what makes it special. We take them to museums, beaches, out on one of the boats, to our favourite "hole in the floor" restaurants, the eclectic tourist attractions, fishing, kayaking, local breweries, etc.

At this point, @Tea with lemon - you are 100% better off than Fanny, as you are putting actual thought and care into what you serve your guests. Best of luck next week, and I know it will be a success!

Actually, it's kind of a Patreon party.
You know, it's the child's birthday and the grandparents and a few others are coming for lunch!
Thanks for the ideas! @T Rex

 

[Sparrowsfart]

I can't find this video either in our Patreon Wiki or on YT. Glitch (my research skills) or feature (it's been removed)?
I'm looking for the video in which Fanny posted photos of 8 or 9 existing plants and animals surveyors found in the stream and wetland. (The things she's paying to create and preserve a habitat for.) (Also noteworthy for those who skipped the Patreon video, French official talks about sorting soils removed to upcycle top soil to surface proposed dyke, saying it will be full of seeds of riparian/water plants already existing in the "empty" pond, which they're trying to preserve/propagate.)
For those baffled about the number of surveys, a review of the videos suggests some answers. First, the topographical survey. Second, a survey of the fish in the streams (no trout, as reported by French official, means, no special upstream egress structures for spawning trout). Third, a survey of the fauna and flora in the wetlands as they are now, since the lake was drained. Those are the only ones of five alleged surveys I've found evidence of. I can imagine there might be a Cassini map architecture survey and one of how the lake and Ruisseau de la Lande affect/source/drain other waters in the area.
Anyone know where I can view this video, screenshot posted here in 2022?

I think the animals and plants were on a Venice video. She had Davy with her on the balcony and they talked about survey and plants for garden????

 

[Turaj]

Another good one!

The beautiful ocean front home is Isabelle's. Nice huh? Why live in The Dump when you can live in natural beauty with fresh ocean breezes? Percy's home is somewhere else in SA.

Wow I did not realize that....and people are contributing to the channel? That is a multi million $$ home. I bet Percy has another large home too. I guess I don't know Percy's financial status but assume he is very comfortable.

 

[Kickintheass]

So was the latest new dress a designer brand, anyone able to identify it?

 

[Imperious Me]

Lovely names for a child but a bit pretentious for a peachick &
I would wait & see if it survived before giving it a name. White animals are always more delicate than others.

Pretentious? My last dog was Harrison.. I've always given my animals human names, when they're part of the family it only seems right... my brothers dogs have been Dave, Fred, Bella.. I also had a Dalmatian, Beau Brummel

 

[Turaj]

He's been in SA most of the past year hasn't he?

I don't know the time line....I do remember when Fanny and Phi came to visit and IJ and PA were in what appeared to be a very beautiful ocean front home...I think Jerry was there too. Anyone remember that time. Then there was another time when Percy took off on his own to SA and I am now wondering if that was medically related. Just said "business".

 

[pasta_aldente]

I can't find find other her hospital vlog or the escape to a cottage owned by a marriage celebrant immediately afterwards. Snorts had his hair straightened by Fanny and tried artichokes for the first time. It was cold and Snorts was lighting a fire. She came home and was wrapping presents in her quilted dressing gown.

This one??

 

[graciemckitten]

Here is a study on some residents of the South African are that includes S

She who must not be named actually told us that sorting out inheritance etc was done (and took a while) before IJ and Percy got married.

I think it was Percy’s side of the equation that took a lot of planning,

There is a silver lining to the patroen day being cancelled... that beckybaconeater and her delightful sister have booked non refundable travel and accommodation.

Probably the only two to RSVP and she doesn't want to suffer the embarrassment!
