The Chateau Diaries #4 Jarvis in Jeopardy

[Takeaway]

There was one further episode following MP’s collection by a rather sour Ma Petherick. On that occasion he was with Ryan and Benjamin the film student. And then he disappeared into a puff of smoke.

And who was the guy with the pink hair called Danni who was at the back of the room in the cocktail tray episode. He also appeared with Michael in an eagle eye episode at mont st michel but wasn’t introduced to anyone. He was in the back of Ryan’s car in the dark???? Michaels friend! There was a cheeky comment from the eagle eye bloke about putting things in mouths

one more observation and then it's bedtime
every time SJ wants something and she shouldn't get it bc it is not economical she says that someone else wanted it and she just got it for them, it makes her appear thoughtful
even this fleur de lys was for Isabel, the wardrobe was for hanni, etc
dont want to generalize but many women do it but they use their children as excuse, ooo it is because of children, they need it, it can range from new kitchen table to luxury vacation
I have a ex colleague (cover narc as well) who doesnt have children but she has a dog - she wanted X1 so she would feel better about herself so she said that the dog needs the car with more space...

I genuinely think that is not happening. She's more likely to be hooking up with Selmar. Or MW. But probably neither.

I wouldn't mind hooking up with Selmar

Someone put up 3 photos of Stephanies flat earlier & it’s disappeared? Another mystery?

 

[Old-Oxonian]

I've wondered about that too. Would explain his swift and subdued exit on that visit, and why Ma Petherick was so thundery when she picked him up.

Also, in his scotch egg vlog when he 'just happened' to have the fortnum & mason hamper right in front of him and was explaining a-gain (begging) about how much he loves their tea, he said "I can't drink at the moment" - quickly corrected himself and said, I mean, I don't want to drink alone so I'm drinking a lot of tea. Hmmm. Alone, in a chateau with several other adults????

Can you remember which episode that was? I don’t remember seeing that.

I thought Nati was heading home. Am in SF and we are too inundated with our own Covid coverage and now curfews so no idea if they even leave the ShatO at this point. Other than Ryan of course!

At the moment no one can fly from the UK unless it is for business, maybe its the same for France

poll results obituary

this Brenda lady is on another level - "we aren't miracle workers" - like wtf?!

 

[PeacockQueen]

Sounds like BG to me.

??? Context?? What does?

All sort of brown sugar exist in France. If not in your supermarket, certainly in your Biocoop shop or other specialised shops which are numerous in every French town.
As the article you posted states, French brown sugars are very diversified : cassonade, vergeoise (soft), sucre de canne etc etc.
In French, it's called sucre roux (red colour sugar) not brown sugar. But I suppose that Stephanie's french is good enough to know this.

It looks to me that the regular grocery shopping is done by the ladies who cook. You often see Nati, Cat, Marie etc going off to shop. Steph does do special event shopping but the every day staples are not usually on her list. Maybe the small markets and stores they deal with do not carry brown sugar and Steph should make a list of these things for her trips to Paris.

Though the donations during livestreams are slowing down. And she hasn't done a live Q&A in a while. I guess because that one time it failed.

maybe Q&A is coming since they got 3 bars on the barn next door and now she can do it from her bedroom

 

[Not so Dotty]

Since Billy has lost weight his looks are quite mouth watering

Billy is actually handsome and I hadn't noticed before this video. Maybe because he's seated next to the most repugnant condescending creep I have ever voluntarily watched. Billy, if you're reading this; it's a terrible idea. Go alone. Take one of those cute dogs with you.


Since losing weight Billy is looking scrumptious I agree. I have lost all interest in Phil and Angelina with their big begging bowl so bypass them now. I just dont know what to think of their new venture but will no doubt watch it as I watch all the others just to see...

You called it out so I dont have to. I also believe this is the reason. I feel like repeating myself, but she knows what she is saying - we did it together, you take care of me, i couldnt imagine it without you - all the right words he wants to hear but, then the realisation comes - it is just that, words which will never manifest is more than friendship. He always puts his eyes down so people dont see. I wanted to hug him.

This often happends between 2 people that one starts to feel something, what i find unsensible is that SJ is no spring chicken and she knows what game she plays, and to do it to such gentle sould is just sad. It pains me for him.

I wonder if there has been a "conversation" where SJ has had to explain how she sees Selmar as a great friend only yet so grateful for his presence in her life. I imagine PP presence and her interactions with him drive Selmar nuts.

 

[66carola]

just to explain I didn't mean that she cannot sing, I like the colour of her voice as well as her speaking voice for that matter
but for a professional signer, one needs to be on point all the time, and it can also happen that your voice will give up and you are not able to sing certain notes and with all that drinking she is not preserving her vocal cords either, so I noticed that her voice is tired at times

if there is anyone who is a musician, can they shed the light on this?
here is a ton of videos, just you ggl her name and signing also in the CD

Sure, but I would like to hear and see her apart from the concerts at lalande. In a pré château life maybe. More professional even.

Gonna have to say this .. why hasn't she got a cake tin that matches the size of her fathers baking tin that she uses every year ??

That's what I asked myself, too. Kat throw it away maybe?

Perfectly sums up la la land Xmas for me - gets my vote!

If Selmar has his way it could end up like Manumission

 

[C’est la vie]

No one said she shouldn’t cook Brit dishes...

 

[frenchessence]

I have a feeling that Kat is getting fed up with Marie's childish behaviour. I remember her looking at Marie when she wouldn't put down the flowers. Serioulsy? You picked up a few flowers along a side of the road. It's getting old. You are right, that it belittles people and how many times can one ohhh and awww over the same thing? Selmar is a sweetie, Kat is one of my favourites as well.

Ditto all that

I was just telling my boss today that it's crazy how much we can find out by looking someone up on the internet, but when you google street view their address, all the license plates on the street are blurred. Like, what's even the point of blurring plates? If I google my name + city there's quite possibly the worst photo of me in existence on a local news article. I would much rather they found my driving record. Not sticking up for her, but now I know why there are so few photos of Brenda.

Of course ... be careful about your internet footprint, it can come back to haunt you. Safeguard yourself. Crazy is as crazy does.
