The Chateau Diaries #276 Sew Snorty's mouth shut and put the damn dog on the floor!

[Jeeves]

Stephen is morphing into Quentin Crisp!

 

[Gertrude Maud]

Just pathetic. At this stage of their lives, to make foolish faces like idiotic teenagers.
Aren’t they ashamed of themselves?

Agreed . . . but they did a great job of the 'cafe' although I'm not so keen on the minty green paint colour.

 

[MRShavershamsdress]

And where have you been the whole time?

You know it takes a great deal of time running the global spy agencies. Tattle Life is just a hobby for our @KiKiGee (Seriously it’s nice to see you posting again).

I agree, not keen on green either for a place to eat, for me it doesn't make the food appetizing. But at least the job is well done and it's not shabby or in ghastly colours like the other rooms of their manor.

It will be interesting to see the survival rate of the shrubs and trees Dan has planted against those at La La Land.

How much do you think he spent on all those hedges and trees

 

[KyBourbon]

May he and Fanny share the rest of their lives together. I can't think of 2 people more suited for each other.
BTW, if this is the type of man Fanny is attracted to, what does that say about Potts, Nick, and her coterie of exes?

I seem to recall that Fanny’s relationship with Snorts was “leaked” a little while after Michael Petherick’s fling ended with Andrew (I might be a little off on the time frame, but if Fanny can play timey-wimey, so can I! ). Michael’s tryst with Andrew was painfully, embarrassingly short…Michael announced he was in love, says Andrew is moving to Begmania, and then in a few short months (and a dolphin boat expedition later), it was all over. I always thought Fanny was just going to fake her relationship with Snorts just long enough to make it look “respectable”…at least longer than a couple of months. I’m surprised they’ve kept up the ruse as long as they have.

The state of that kitchen... GAWD it's disgusting ! I would never go there, let alone eat in that kitchen ! There is stuff everywhere, no clean places ... And I can't stop thinking of the mice either, running free everywhere

When Wendy said it is not safe for Lancelot to be on the floor I guess there is rat/ mouse poison about.

 

[Tartuffe]

Was the recipe called Fanny Falafels?

Snorts is allergic to them.

 

[Gertrude Maud]

No click bait here, blimey Dan and Nick have emptied the Netherlands. They are planting into nice soil

Dan, with assistance from Nick, has got the right idea . . . get your big things in first when starting a new garden.
This delivery made Stephanie's garden look piss weak . . . even at wholesale prices this delivery of large trees would have been very expensive.

They should be ashamed of themselves because of that gaping hole in their barn roof. Still there since they moved in.

 

[Gertrude Maud]

When Wendy said it is not safe for Lancelot to be on the floor I guess there is rat/ mouse poison about.

They need to get those black triangular plastic boxes that sit on the ground to contain the baits.
They're not pretty but could be hidden behind furniture.

 

[FecilitéJ]

Yeah Cool
I guess I am well known by now
I went out and didn’t even notice the change… it happened in the last comment I guess…
No, two comments ago… Nice

Yes, it looks good and I really like that Wellington look. I have never made with the puff pastry on top but I believe it can not be that difficult, specially if we buy a good ready made vegan puff pastry. Actually, most puff pastries in the supermarkets freezers are vegan, they never had real butter.
Let me know if you want me to translate any recipe for you…
I personally like the third recipe, with mushrooms in the mixture.

I'd love to have the recipe converted when you get time. It sounds very like the nut roast I used to get at Tesco. Probably a much nicer version, especially with the mushrooms.

 

[Gertrude Maud]

I was fascinated by Marie's meal.
I've never seen anyone eat their curry with lettuce.

 

[Lochness Monster]

Quite a few observations from that shitshow earlier.
1: I am certain the filming/ driving position of the drive up to Johns Chateau was higher than the Fiesta. Fanny was very careful not to show any part of the car or it’s inhabitants.
2: Fanny’s hip is fine… she was sporting some VERY high new black suede shoes.
3: Look who was at Johns…
4: Tess was there too.

Snorts was flirting with John. I have never seen him so touchy freely.
He also sang extra snortily when he was harmonising happy birthday .

Why was Snorts in pink and in his Dandy shoes?

Hi Tattlers, Marquis' wife here!

Quick update:
A few days ago, before the humanitarian pause, my husband sent me this post-workout mirror pic before he went to his service area.

15 hours later, he sent me this.
He and his teammate were helping a wounded IDF soldier when he got shot in the calf by a Hamas militant.
Thank God the bullet did not hit his fibula but it has a hairline fracture. I don't want to bore you with more details, but the doctor said he's glad my husband built a "sturdy gastrocnemius muscle."
He is doing well and is expected to recover quickly.

BTW, the baby is doing great!
Thanks for your positive thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for the derail. Now let's Tattle on!

Oh goodness just sending you all healing vibes xox

 

[Lochness Monster]

Despite Snorts ‘ knowledge’ of paucillin and endless hours surfing auction sites. He had not seen anything like this. Watch this space Snorts is going to try and find a sweet meat centre piece next.

There are still questions being asked about whether DTM actually owns the crispy chateau. Two days ago a man that photographed the place back in 2019 and who claims he originally introduced DTM to the owner, said on his FB page that it was "not purchased yet".

This comment followed, but remains unanswered:

Just in case anyone still cares

Begs the question, “how many chateau’s are leased/rented”?

Or covered in toile?

 

[Gertrude Maud]

Or covered in toile?

Great idea!
