The Chateau Diaries #402 Regretting getting down on one knee, 'cause you'd rather get down on two, eh Philip?

[Mr Magoo]

In all seriousness, I don't think she got implants, but I've been wrong before, so who even knows?
It looks to me like she's wearing a balconette bra, a style I wear sometimes. They can hike up the boobies a little too much, so you have to be careful of the brand and style of balconette bra you're wearing. And, when you sort of recline, depending on the style, it looks like you have a shelf instead of a bra on.....a big old boobie shelf! Again, you have to wear the correct size and choose a brand whose balconette style fits you well.

You can get the garlic in pill form.

I think its the ferment and honey that really helps with the health aspect

 

[M&MsMom]

Wild boars and boobs…
is there a connection?

Funny that you all are talking about these things..

We're all just trying our best!

 

[terese m]

Boars, Boors, Boobs and Baldy!

 

[Mr Magoo]

Hats off to Dan for completing the roof

 

[Nettle flower]

Thank you @Lady Avonlea for keeping us "abreast" lol. This pic says it all for me. I could hear her mind saying, "I hope this works to keep the $$$$$ coming"View attachment 3968357

That's a drinkers face if ever I saw one!

 

[LittleMore Cottage]

Okay I am totally confused the 2 white chickens they got those weeks ago didn't they and didn't somebody comment that the fox got them also we never saw them since they had 1st day now all of a sudden there's 2 white chickens and Fannie said they've only been there a couple days She makes me question things that I know are true aren't they

 

[FrasersMum]

As I write this I’ve been sick for 2 weeks with a head cold which became a chest infection. Finally saw the doctor yesterday and I’m on cough syrup, puffers, steroids and muscle relaxants, because my chest muscles are so tight from continual coughing. If I had a ‘sort of chest infection’ fan claims to have, I couldn’t speak without coughing, let alone spew on for 6 minutes. Even with fresh sheets, my sick bed is a dishevelled mess, and while I'm dressed, I'm not wearing makeup or a bra!

fan is a lying, lazy, phony prima donna with a bad memory.

Odd how last week fan knew the exact day she'd be well enough to vlog again (Thursday). fan also claims she's been doing a bit of paper filing. What's the chance she's been focusing on tax deadlines and travelled to meet up with Baghead and her accountant? Taxes would be a boring storyline for a week, so let's just garner sympathy by saying I've been ill. So it's either new boobs or taxes!!!

Here's 6 minutes of fan's drivel. She could have easily stopped after 3 minutes, but started repeating herself and put on the full-press sympathy storyline for her patrons. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
fan, “First I want to issue a huge apology for how quiet I’ve been the last week. I have been absolutely walloped by a bug. Like a sort of chest infection, viral thing, and it wasn’t that serious, just a bit of coughing. So none of the symptoms were the problem, but I’ve been ABSOLUUUUUTLEY EXHAAAUUUUSTED, but I haven’t really worried about it because I found out there’s been a bug going around, and everyone I know whose had it says its done exactly the same thing to them. (lying tell - pushing her hair behind her ear).

And for the first time in nearly the 8 years I’ve been making the Chateau Diaries, I’ve taken a full week off from making videos. I don’t think that’s ever happened before, from sickness or from anything else. (Her hands start flapping) Sometimes I’ve been on holiday and had other people film something else, or still be making a thumbnail, and still be in the premieres. BUT REALLY, for a WHOLE WEEK, there’s been no videos, and that’s because I’ve been mainly asleep half days. (fan, nothing unusual about that for you!)

I’ve been in bed, up until the last couple of days. For the last couple of days I’ve forced myself to get dressed and then get back, just underneath the bedspread. I’m not in the bed, you understand, but it’s almost, almost being up.” (fan is the only woman I know who strolls around inside and outside in her housecoat when she’s perfectly well, but gets fully dressed to lay in bed when she’s ill.)

Snorty chimes in – “Easier Way”!
View attachment 3968053

fan, “Yes, and to even put make-up on in the morning, and thinking today, this is I, I’m getting up, and no, straight back to bed. (Who the hell puts on a full face of make-up when they’re sick) . And then I have the tv right in front of me and a book, today’s classic right next to me, and I think ‘oh lovely’, I’ll watch tv and I’ll read, and then the first couple of days I couldn’t even do that. I was in a half daze of not being able to do anything. Not quite able to sleep, but too tired to do anything else.

The last couple of days have been much nicer. I’ve been watching Mad Med with Philip and it’s been really lovely. Philip has been keeping everything afloat whilst I’ve been unwell, and for the last couple of days I’ve been up for an hour a day tidying my study (that’s a lost cause) and again today, which is finally tidy, and that’s one good thing that’s come out of this is that I’ve been able to focus on getting all of my filing done.

But I am feeling soooooo much better. Still a little tired, but nothing compared to what it was. So there will be a vlog on the CD tomorrow. I don’t know how much of it I’ll be making. I know that Pavlina and Maria have been filming for me. They’ve been out in the garden. Marie has been planting more of the cut flowers for the season ahead. Pavlina, along with Omberline, have been installing the watering system, and so it may well mean that Philip makes tomorrow’s chateau video, but I’m really hoping that it will be me and that I’ll be up and about and able to do that.

I’ve had one loyal companion by my side. (cut to Ratso2.0)
You are the most darling creatures!”
Snorty, “You mean me?”
fan, “Yes, I meant you, but this one’s not bad. He’s not bad. He looks like a little prawn with his little limbs.

I’m really looking forward to getting back into making videos. I love sharing my life here withal of you, but for the last few days there’s been absolutely no life to share (Finally the truth) unless you wanted to sit next to me and watching Mad Men, which actually would have been quite good and fun.

By the way, I will say again, because I mentioned it before, I’m thoroughly enjoying this novel and getting through it at a snail’s pace, but I am getting through it. I’m really, really loving it.

I was going to try and power on and make some videos, using Marie’s and Pavlina’s footage earlier, but Mummy, Tante and Philip have been really strict and just saying, ‘your body is telling you you need to rest’, and I really do think in a way that I never had before."

Snorty, “You still need to”.
fan, “I’m still really tired. I don’t know why because it’s really not serious. I’ve barely any symptoms.
Snorty, “We’ll make a video tomorrow.” (Very condescending voice)
fan, “Thank you, Philip. I’m hoping you won’t have to, but we’ll see tomorrow.”
Snorty, “Let’s just assume I will.”

fan, “Let’s see tomorrow.” (while Snorty sniggers) But I’m looking forward to rejoining the land of the living downstairs. Everyone has been spoiling me silly. Marie’s made lovely food. Last night Philip made lasagna for everybody, and they’re having a party down in the kitchen. Natti & Amuary were there, Omberline, Pavlina coming around. They were all playing Rummyclub(?) and I couldn’t even join them. but I very much enjoyed the leftover lasagna tonight.”
Snorty, “It’s always better the next day.”
fan, “It’s really good. You’re making it. You’re making a cracking lasagna now Philip. Absolutely liked it.
Snorty, “I added a ton of garlic.”

fan, “I will say goodnight. I’m sorry it’s such a short video, but I wanted you all to have an update because I know it’s been very, very unusual for me not to post for so long. I’m going to get back to it as soon as possible, so fingers crossed for tomorrow.

But I wanted to chat to all off you for your support, all of your well wishes, and I have to tell you that your support has made all the difference over the last few days. I’ve never taken so much time off before for illness, and because of all of you I knew that even if I did that, the people in the chateau would still get paid at the end of the month, and that’s an absolute huge thing, because I have responsibility here for an awful lot of people, and it’s on my shoulders, but, YOU KNOW WHAT, it’s because of all of you, I felt, that I could, I REALLY could rest when I wasn’t well. “

fan, “Yes, I listened to my body, and that’s because of all of you, so thank you so so much, you have made an ABSOLUTELY HUGE difference over the last few days, and I know just how lucky I am to have all of you in my life. So, thank you, thank you from laLande, and I’m very much looking forward to chatting with you all not only next week, but in tomorrow’s Chateau Diaries. I’m going to do it Philip!!! I’m doing it!!!”

So for the first time in CD Fraudie has taken a full week off. Here's the reason why.

Apparently she forgot her cutlets

I heard from Ruby that Skidmark left her bedroom door open and the predatory fox ate the chicken cutlets.

Ornamental chickens....easy prey for foxes

how long will this lot last? I think your problem is that no one person is responsible for them. It makes it easy to forget whose done what? You should have fox proofed before you got more or the same thing will just keep happening.


the dump zombies are sooooooo easily fooled by pathological liar Skidmark.

The fence is quite high for a fox to get in, not for a coyote though. Also, hawks and owls. Something is not quite right.

I wonder if a sign on the door “please keep door closed” to the fenced in chicken area will help as a reminder to people entering

I thought the coop door was open, but the fenced area was closed. Confusing.

@ludovica8221 Same here !!! I understood the fenced area door was closed but the coop door run was open. More like a pack of coyote or an owl or hawk.

Animals shouldn't be treated as disposable commodities. If you can't look after them properly don't get them.

If I may speak honestly, I think you have been doing too much travelling. Too much endless travelling about does not let your body maintain regular sleep periods, the food is always changing, the body’s patterns are disrupted. Travel is great, but within limits.

The fence around their day pen (basically the whole orchard where they are only supposed to be when fully sipervised) is only waist height I dont think a fox would have bothered to use the gate

Please do not buy any more chickens. You cannot out fox a fox. They know that there are chickens there and they will keep returning

Something you should know about polish and frizzle chickens...they are dumb. Like could drown in the rain looking up dumb. You should get a few garden variety chickens just to raise the collective IQ of the flock. Consider a rooster. Or a guard goose. They will protect the flock even from foxes - of course you still may lose someone, but often the ruckus will alert a human.

i hope you can keep these chickens safe, i knew something must have happened since it was a long time since you had filmed them, poor things

I've heard that something called, "coyote rollers" work to prevent...coyotes -- however look into it and it might help with the fox IDK worth a look. Was concerned and missed you dear Stephanie, take very good care of yourself. We all love you so much

Sad to hear about the poor hens, maybe install a door alarm to ping everyone's devices if the door is open, they also make coop alarms with piercing alarms to deter predators.

Its not the door that's the issue ~ thecoop & run is safe ~ its when they are allowed in the outside orchard, thats the area that's not fox proof so the chickens have to be supervised & checked back into their safe coop.

Ok Steph stop trying to save all these people. Are used by too many .Enjoy what Mom and Dad started or they will all outlast you .Don't loose sight of your close family

 

[LittleMore Cottage]

And there was a roll of green fencing in the back seat, Snorts said they were going to make the yard "fox proof". I cant imagine how a roll of fencing will do that????? It would be easier to start trapping foxes and relocating them. My friend hires a trapper when her flock is threatened. She also got a guardian dog for the chickens. He lives with the flock between him and the rooster her birds have been safe. And did you see Rates 2.0. Run up to the fence?? No one watching him or paying any attention. Dumb asses the lots of them .

 

[FrasersMum]

what's happening to Fraudie's eyelids? Are they covered in freckles or is that last week's mascara and smudged eyeliner all over them?

 

[Lady Avonlea]

I heard from Ruby that Skidmark left her bedroom door open and the predatory fox ate the chicken cutlets.

Suggestion - Skidmark left her bedroom door open and the predatory fox ate the chicken cutlets.

 

[FrasersMum]

freshly cut grass and spring tulips flowering...hmmmmmmmmmm...didn't a tattler expose the excessive lawn mowing and exceptionally long flowering tulips recently?

 

[notanangel]

I think it’s disgusting that there was another chicken massacre. When will the next one happen? It’s bound to. Who is in charge of watching the chickens? I guess the door should never be open. That is just horrifying. I wonder who the lucky person was that had to clean it up? We know it won’t be her and I doubt it would be Philip. OMG. And then he says that it wasn’t anyone from inside the Château that left the door open. Who knows if that’s the truth or not but if it is, people can start guessing who left the door open.

 

[notanangel]

And then one of the comments it notes that it could’ve been a hawk or an owl. I guess they don’t think about what might come from above? Or it’s just all a load of you know what. They really should not have chickens because they are not capable of taking care of them. And who knows what will happen to the second dog. That’ll be the next thing. And then they’ll be off to get a third. I hope not but it seems inevitable.

 

[FrasersMum]

Hang on Fraudie, didn't you tell your patron's yesterday that you have been too ill to come downstairs? Now you're telling us that you take a little walk everyday. Which is it then?

I believe that sadly and unfortunately, Skidmark may be infected with some of the black mold from the moldy fruit trees.
