The Chateau Diaries #3 Escape to La La Land

Re. The gardener's cottage or Michael's dream shed.
Have you noticed how the two new beams they put upstairs to support the roof are themselves supported by, not the walls, but by the main new beam downstairs ?
I wouldn't trust this house of cards myself

Good morning everyone...As you can see, a bit of a rainy day here in London. View from my bedroom.

This is the response to earlier post about vlog comment:

"Dawn" seems to be a boiling cauldron of fury. If there's just the merest smidgeon of truth in what she alludes to, then Brenda would appear to have form...allegedly.

Brenda says she is dauphine of lalande but then why is her name not being mentioned at the end of vlogs.. And what does that last comment of hers even mean?

No more uncomfortable questions on facebbok, sales will be organized outside FB

That’s what I thought! The support needs to come from the ground up! The main beam now needs to be supported itself with supporting beams below these new uprights as it is now bearing too much weight. If a French builder saw this he would hang his head in despair. Basics innit.

I've just watched the latest cadeaux, a few other comments I could make, but most noticeably the contrast between the two filming styles from the 'problematic' flashbacks which were really really bad, and not just the sound, to the latest which are thankfully so much better. Perhaps this is a lesson learnt for SJ.

I still can't believe how dreadful he was at filming. Makes me wonder what his agenda really was and if his wife was happy about that.

@SableOnBlonde To answer your question about the photo, I copied and pasted it into Google image search and came up with the Donegal tourist board website (which is where she obvs copied and pasted it from...)

No, no you missed something here: Donegal tourist board did make the pic out of her bedroom window

So much for travellers... When will we finally know for sure?

I guess it all depends on the integrity of the stone walls then. Pa Petherick and Baldrick Sean patched them up so nothing to worry about . . .

Vic Ave, you are welcome here once you are kicked out!

Wait for when they'll put the plasterboard and insulation stuff under the roof (it was the reason why they had to reinforce the roof because the weight would have been to heavy)

Glamping, plain and simple. These huts made to order can cost up to 20k

And then it will be the cottage that fell down in time for Christmas, leading to a new call for funds:

There once was a cottage with oak beam,
Resting on unstable walls, it would seem.
The roof and first floor,
Upon such walls, to be sure,
Will topple during Michael’s live stream!

Stephanie's accent is getting worse, very unnatural but suits the 'all fur coats and no knickers' vibe. Much as I enjoy watching her vlogs there is absolutely no way I would financially support paying for her home whilst she waltzes off to a private members club.

Maybe it dawned on PP that he is just a substitute till she can go back to travel. I always said that her volunteers don’t seem to mix well with her actual group of friends. An ex-boyband and now.... yeah what exactly?.... just doesn’t cut it. He will be replaced and forgotten soon enough. This visit probably made him finally realise that. I am sure though we will be treated to either his own Instagram or YT and probably Patreon/Go fund me very quickly.

I have previously credited PP for the fact that he doesn't appear to be selling anything, unlike that soap woman who was there for about 2 days before she was trying to hog her soaps. or Tomaz. Well. He is definitely running SJ's instagram page (the sudden increase in posts, the tagging PP for taking every photo, the comments on his disgusting begs for attention). How do we think the rest of the household feels about that? Especially considering Marie has been trying to grow a business via instagram for about 4 months now and as far as I can tell SJ has never commented on anything? I think SJ needs to let the letch PP go.

The Calamity Ware thing, I think it was more removed than that, I think the mugs were sent as a gift from a fan (not Calamity Ware themselves) and now Calalmity Ware have reposted the clip of SJ opening the mugs in Gift Grab. So, as 'ads' go, not the most disingenuous.

We need to make a decision for the new title. Soon.

If I were LOTL I would certainly not feel any obligation to acknowledge a FB that I had absolutely nothing to do with..... more worryingly needy and "look at me" behaviour from the rabid superfans

I hope SJ is careful not to start commenting on Facebook, just another obligation extra. And extra expectations to meet

Though MP once mentioned some"heavy action" going on upstairs, not sure if he considered that

OMG, you are such a talent. Why don't you apply for minstrels at lalande?
