In the last few vlogs from Billy, there has been a black dog. It looked larger than the ones Billy and Gwen have. Do we know who's dog this is?

I saw this quote today and it spoke to me. For various reasons.

"You can be aware when a circus is in town, but your mission doesn't get further along by stopping to stare at the clowns."

In other words, pay attention to what needs to be paid attention to. What is said is more important than how it is said.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Also? While we're on batshit theories. What on EARTH would someone like Potts gain in coming in here and enflaming the chat before their Patron day? I seem to recall there was someone here that was going to sHoW uP and confront them on Patron day or some such a few years ago, but then were never heard from again. Why on earth risk some mentally unstable person doing that again by tit stirring. Amazing the sideways turns people take because they are too fragile to have their ideas opposed. THE DOG IS FINE. (imo)

I wonder how much stuff would get done if one would let Yannis loose at Lalande for a week.

Mo+Tu: rebuilding the ceiling of the not-so-grand salon
We+Th: re-render the facade of the whole château
Fr: take the contents of Narnia and bring it to the déchetterie
Sa: finish the heating
Su: cuddles with Ruby

I think you might be referring to the dog that's owned by Alex, the videographer for Billy and the convent project. Seems to be a very sweet dog, too.

So Petherick returns and fine feasts are made for everyone to enjoy. Except for the paying guests. And of course when it’s phi phis turn to cook and everyone gets his pasta tuna concoction. Not even a paying guest could stomach this…no world should ever put pasta and tuna together. Why not a lovely salad Nicoise? A four cheese pasta bake? But not his teen idiot meal of pasta and tuna….

Following on from that quotation, I always think Aristotle made a good point. One that can be applied to myriad situations. For various reasons.

I'm not sure who is who and frankly don't really care.

But "Someone like Potts"? What an odd comment. Whilst pleasant enough, Michael Potts is nothing more than a banal, feckless little amusement. Michael Potts is a vanilla, low testosterone individual who offers little substance, brainpower or gravitas to any situation. Perhaps amusing for a dinner party, but more than an evening and he's just another stuck-up little bore in Fanny's ever-dull circle of sychophants!

Ok, ok Ratty “allegedly” hurt a bird. The fast French dog swears Ratty’s gone thru more chicken than Colonel Sanders. I would rather have the Ratty around for protection than Snorty I mean his weapon of choice is hair glue.

We have to agree to disagree on this! In the right hands, tuna pasta salad is a delicious summer dish. The key is “in the right hands”. The prancing twerp and his signature dish doesn’t fit the bill.

I was answering the accusation that I was Michael Pott's on here tit stirring. I am American, a woman, and have zero affiliation with the chateau. Also not tit stirring, just disagreeing with someone about the dog. (Since I have small breed dogs and recognize some of the behavior she found to be a problem) Apparently if you do not agree with every rant then you are, in fact, Michael Potts. Something something tit stirring something something Patron day.

My much fitter and younger sister who loves to give advice tells me when I have a cold to put Vicks on the soles of my feet, if only I could reach!
