The Chateau Diaries #331 PhiPhi is squirreling the place up one cache-pot at a time

[Iolair]

So the chapel has a hypocaust... which nitwit tells her fans was extremely advanced for the 19th century. Does she ever actually listen to the crap that spews from her mouth? Was the hypocaust heating system advanced for the 350 BCE Temple of Ephesus in Selçuk Turkey? Yes! Was the hypocaust system advanced for the Baths of Caracalla in ancient Rome from 212 CE? Undoubtedly! Is the hypocaust under Fanny's chapel extremely advanced technology for it's time? No duck off Fanny.

 

[Fromthenorth]

She's added another post to her stories - someone guessed Labrador, which is incorrect. She gave this as a hint: think Phoenicians, think Moors, think knights.

I'm thinking Portugal? Maybe Greece? Possibly Spain? My guess is Malta - which would definitely maybe tie in with the dog clue. Wherever it is, she went through a Southern Italy airport to get to it....I think Sicily? Not necessarily a clue, as you can go through any airport, anywhere to get anywhere these days, especially if you are trying to save money on flights.

The other clue is she doesn't speak the language. Malta is a good choice. She didn't mentioned which "knights" order. Malta Knights make sense and there was a Phoenicians counter there not so sure about the moors tho ! (their Empire didn't stretch that far) Apart from Maltese, their other official language is English. You may be onto something

[ComtesseRose]

My guess is Malta

Malta fits all the criteria.
But, English is spoken on Malta too... (Well they speak Maltese and English, Stuart made it seem like she was stranded in a foreign land with no way to help herself or communicate)

 

[Miss Trunchbull]

The Mariana Trench would be my choice. For her, that is.

 

[Lochness Monster]

Snorts hugged Hanni very tightly. How will he manage to lay the tables without her?
Looks as if bunman has finished the panelling in the back passage, goodbye Chris.

Fanny had FRk make her a different dish when it was her turn to make lasagne as it is not her favourite thing to eat, yet Snorts made two heaps of the stuff and no alternative for Fanny. Carrots and pineapple juice in lasagne?
The amount of meat involved when there were just five people eating meat…
Anyway it looked absolutely disgusting and the sticky pudding without any cream or something to break up the sweetness was also unappealing.
Pyrex jug at the table when they have hundreds of beautiful jugs. They are such heathens.

 

[Madame de Pompanddoodoo]

duck me they are away again. FRK is babysitting Ratso 2.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Thank you for all of your birthday wishes. I'm fortunate to be enjoying a bright, sunny day, but my thoughts & prayers are for the well-being of all those around the world who are currently experiencing unspeakably, terrible times.

Now back to regularly scheduled timey-wimey programming with our resident lying, histrionic, grifting chatelaine.

Again, there is no way all this happened in one day according to Fanny's timeline. The workers have already started digging around the chapel before Fanny suddenly remembers they're working and pops out in her housecoat. Heck, you know it's mid-day if Snorty's already got his ass out of bed and is standing in the garden pretending he knows what's going on.

Back in the kitchen they're saying goodbye to Hanni who has escaped her straight-jacket and is waving frantically as Percy drives her away for a bit of R&R at an inhouse medical asylum program some unspecified reason.

What's the chance that Hanni nibbled on Mummy's gigantic magic mushroom & is pretending to fly?

Is Amuary feverish because he's overworked, drank too Kronenbourg 1664, out of cigarettes, or inhaled a new mix of Mummy's gigantic magic mushroom & MJ? That's Amuary offsite for the next couple of weeks.

Fanny, having eaten far too many meals while traveling this summer & croissants at home, is having her dress enlarged by Nikki. But why is Fanny now suddenly wearing yellow pj's? Fanny wasn't wearing yellow pj's out at the chapel earlier.

Garlic, chili, lemon shots at 10:00 a.m. should make everyone feel better. It's now 11:40 a.m. and Fanny & FRK are ready for a girl's half day out at the spa. Poor Cinder-Nikii is left at home to repair Fanny's dress, while Snorty is tasked with making lasagna pasta mush for dinner. If it's FRK's day off where is Dishwasher Dave? Isn't Dave supposed to cook on FRK's day off?

Fanny, the idiot world traveler, didn't realize that hotel spa rules required she book a hotel room for the day or that there's no restaurant service available. There is a 2-hour spa offer at Les Drayades Golf & Spa for between 109.00€ - 189€. Perhaps they booked the Mother-Daughter package for 230€.

Fanny & FRK jammed a lot into two hours at the spa including frolicking in the pools, sauna, lunch delivery from Snorty, a tea break and trolling time on the laptop.

Fanny could have booked a room for a sleep-over with Snorty, but we all know that was never an option! Instead Fanny & FRK had time to pick up parcels from Vinted and arrive back at the shitoo in time to: open parcels, try on clothes, chat more with Mummy about her magic mushroom and watch Snorty start to make pasta mush for dinner.

Let's not forget Fanny also had time to whip out that Thermomix and make sticky toffee/date pudding for dessert. That's a tit load of pasta mush for six people. (Mummy, Percy, Fanny, Snorty, FRK & Nikki)

Just thinking of the joke in re excavation of Roman baths in Bath, maybe? With fantastic epiglottis valves which swung both ways, intact after a couple thousand....etc etc. Joke being, Romans installed radiant underfloor heating and Britain hasn't had central heating since.

Must have been the Marshalls or Homesense at Stone Road Mall in Guelph (only Walmart in Fergus).

So. Hanni is finally leaving. Returning to the sceptred Isle... with THAT hair! How brave is that? Or dumb!

I see the thrifted Japanese dress is in EVERY current flog! Look at me look at me fanny. See how thrifty I am. I simply had to by this cheap 2nd hand dress in Japan when I sent my luggage elsewhere and decided to stay an extra night or two to shag huge grunt. Oups! Did I say that out loud? And my trusty patrons and fans, did you see me buying MORE thrifty clothes from Emmaüs to keep warm in the winter because I'm simply NOT going to waste money on heating. If we save money here and there we can SPLURGE on the fun things... Like luxury holidays and travel, designer clothes, jewelry and all that kind of fun stuff.

Excellent recap @Lady Avonlea and on your birthday too, very diligent. Does this picture, I took the liberty of blowing it up, look like Thrush really needed a pee? Perhaps Galahad is getting his own back and enforcing a lack of comfort breaks

Wherever it is, she went through a Southern Italy airport to get to it....I think Sicily? Not necessarily a clue, as you can go through any airport, anywhere to get anywhere these days, especially if you are trying to save money on flights.

We've had all those here in Spain

 

[C'est moi]

Gruesome twosome are off somewhere again. MarIE is busy posting on Insta stories. Thanks for the timeline MarIE. Soo passive aggressive She thinks the dahlias are lovely, or some such tit, but I couldn't be arsed to screen grab!

MarIE is really getting off on those sexy hoof pics! Are the boots newish? She seems to really like them.

Looks like really pants early October weather at lielande. No doubt fanny and Thrush are off enjoying some sunshine somewhere.

Btw, MarIE, your girly spa hour or two is no way compensation for the tit you put up with. She uses and abuses you but you're happy to bask in her hideous aura for an hour or two as compensation. Pathetic.

 

[terese m]

Not that I want to give Stephanie any ideas, but: if she repeatedly wears the same dress (or bathrobe) that makes for easier timey-wimey editing. So many vlogs have shown her wearing multiple outfits in different scenes, which have been clues that she's been patching scenes to make up one thrown-together vlog.

 

[Pyke]

Which car did Hanni drive off in yesterday, a silver one, ? has she purchased Fanny's old one ? Last car I remember seeing her driving was an expensive Mercedes ??

 

[Lochness Monster]

Belated birthday tidings to the Tatler crew celebrating. Will you be buying soup plates , crab sticks or having a spa day with the maid?
Do we think the guys digging around the chapel are from the same company as the chapel restorers or has Fanny cheapskate employed another company. I think the latter.

Oh Fanny’s toddler child definitely needs mommy to take him for a wee! I’m surprised he isn’t doing the peepee dance.

Malta Knights make sense and there was a Phoenicians counter there not so sure about the moors tho ! (their Empire didn't stretch that far) Apart from Maltese, their other official language is English. You may be onto something

The language thing might not be so tough, because I think there is a strong Sicilian population in Malta, although Sicilian isn't Italian, Stuart lived in Italy and can speak Italian (from what she's said). I know what you mean about the Moors as I didn't think they were there, either. I remember reading something about Tunisians in Malta, so I Googled. An article from 2019 in a Maltese periodical talks about Tunisian Moors being there as early as 1423 and attacked again in 1429! Who knew?

It happened this month: The Moorish invasion of Malta in 1429

The month of September is literally crammed with important anniversaries directly connected with Malta’s chequered history. These anniversaries include the lifting of the two sieges of 1565 and 1940-3, the beginning and the end of the Maltese...

I am guessing, I DON’ T CARE.

Right? I can't stand Stuart, so I don't know why I'm so vested into where she's going! I must be bored!

I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday! I wished to convey my birthday greeting earlier, but I still can't get my copy/paste function to work here (or anywhere else), despite working on it all day. I kept thinking I could figure it out and send you a birthday meme and here it is........too late.

Here's to all your wishes for the year coming true!

 

[Ladeda1957]

Day 2 of MY BIRTHDAY Month, and welcome!

She is elegance personified. Literate, knowledgeable and often humorous, her posts bring us joy. Her insight is to be envied; her observations make for posts of legend! Her contributions are savvy, erudite, cultured and sophisticated. Am I talking about Stephanie Jarvis? Oh hell no, duck that! I am talking about the one, the only, the birthday girl herself...

@Lady Avonlea.

Happy birthday my dear! This one's for you...

Happy Birthday to Lolair and Lady Avonlea, I love October birthdays because my mum was born in October and she was a sweetheart, which brings me to your YouTube clip Lolair, it’s lovely, I love that 1920’s music and songs it’s very Cole Porter sounding.

Thank you @ComtesseRose for the new thread.
