00:00Morning all from, basically, mid-summer at La Lande.
00:03No, everyone's in the courtyard.
00:05Going well in the kitchen?
00:07It's going great.
00:08How is everything going with the electricity?
00:10Great too.
00:11Excellent. Oh, this is what we love to hear. Anne-Marie, life is good?
00:14Van dappy daisy.
00:16And Molly looks happy.
00:17Molly's just supervising.
00:19Whose motorbike is that, more importantly?
00:21You are joking.
00:22It's my beast. Well, one of them. I've got more than one, but that's my day bike.
00:26You've got more than one?
00:27I have, yeah. I've got a collection of bikes.
00:29Is our kitchen going to be that shiny when it's finished?
00:32Well, yeah, let's hope so.
00:34That's so impressive.
00:34It might have flames on it, it might be a crash helmet.
00:37It's magnificent.
00:39Good morning. My goodness, it really is everyone out in the courtyard. It's so nice.
00:43Have you seen the motorbike? You could use it as a mirror.
00:46It's clearly all happening in there.
00:49Let's go and have a little look.
01:29Oh, so you're trying to work out how high our ceiling can go.
01:50Well, surprising.
01:53So before, just to remind everyone, it was literally at the top of the window.
01:57So there was no space above the top of the windows.
02:00So we're hoping we can get maybe 10 centimetres more than that.
02:04So we think the hot and cold pipework to the rest of the chateau there is a little bit of a problem.
02:09So we're going to be cutting the pipes, not the main pipes,
02:13but just the cuttings in from the toilets and cabinets.
02:16So we can feed those pipes under and then we're going to have 130mm gained.
02:20130mm is not bad.
02:22You can see where the existing ceiling was.
02:25Yes, that's where the grey line ends.
02:28Yeah, and then you've got the green laser level.
02:30New ceiling.
02:31That's going to be where the new ceiling is because we can work the ferrari above that.
02:35In between that.
02:36Yeah. Okay, good.
02:38So it will go a little bit above the door and above the windows, which is nice.
02:43It's always a bigger job than one thinks, isn't it?
02:46It's always a bigger job in this place.
02:49But hey, we get a taller ceiling now.
02:51We get a taller ceiling.
02:52And what was it you said?
02:53Somebody said it's not a disaster, it's a...
02:56Opportunity?
02:57That's it.
02:57It was the one who said it's a gift.
02:59It's a gift.
03:00I like opportunity.
03:01It's an opportunity to get it right this time.
03:07Yeah.
03:07Yeah?
03:07It'll be good.
03:08Yeah.
03:09Now I'm feeling much better.
03:09I was really low about it, but I'm totally feeling better now.
03:12Now I'm...
03:13You're only human.
03:15Ben's got the trays turning up either tonight or first thing in the morning.
03:18So he's then going to jump in here with us when we're pratting around with that.
03:23He's then going to sort out the cables over on that side.
03:27Yes.
03:27That's good.
03:28So there was one tiny little bit that still needed to come down.
03:31And that's it, is it?
03:32That's it.
03:32The whole ceiling, the old ceiling is down.
03:35Almost, yeah.
03:36We've got that section there to go.
03:38Oh, yeah.
03:39Sorry.
03:39Yeah, a tiny bit more dust to go.
03:40The only reason it's not down is just because we've got to just do...
03:43You see these noggins?
03:44We've put some fixings in there to make sure that the plumbing all stays in
03:48the right place.
03:49That's what Emery fitted in there just to pull up the pipes.
03:52Exactly.
03:53Some of them are on a beam and some of them are not.
03:55So he's just...
03:56Yeah.
03:56As I take the ceiling down, he's putting in those supports just to make sure that
03:59everything stays where it's supposed to be.
04:01And then it's all done, yeah.
04:02And then all of the dirty, dusty stuff's done.
04:04That's great.
04:05What would be great would be just to get the pipes properly secured, not just on laugh.
04:10It's ridiculous, isn't it?
04:12How can that be our wiring?
04:13That's madness.
04:13It is.
04:14That's just trouble.
04:15Oh, no, that's just laziness.
04:16So yeah, so Ben's going to get the trays on.
04:18All right.
04:18I think it's time to break for lunch and hope that by the end of the day,
04:24dust creation will have ended in the kitchen.
04:27You're just back from Brico?
04:28We are.
04:29Well, not just Brico.
04:30Brico was one of the places.
04:31Okay.
04:31You're going to see the shadow essentials that we got.
04:34Okay.
04:35Where do you look?
04:39I can see that.
04:40This is the essentials that you and Hanni get.
04:42We send you to just heating oil.
04:44What is both to keep warm?
04:46Is the rum to keep warm as well?
04:47Well, yes.
04:48So basically, but look, I bought a lot of the wines that were like 20% off.
04:52Essential, darling.
04:53Well, because they're one bottle or something.
04:54I mean, look, I think that's probably actually kind of essential.
04:56Yeah, to be fair, that, yes.
04:58The cubed cheese are like 20% essential.
04:59I can't see the nice bread.
05:01Uh, the nice bread is here somewhere.
05:03Yeah, picture hooks.
05:03Scratch rolls.
05:04Is that the knife?
05:05No, that's the knife.
05:05Okay.
05:06I mean, I like the way you roll, but you are never going shopping when we need actual food.
05:12No, no.
05:13Where's the food?
05:14We didn't need any food.
05:15Exactly.
05:16So I'm raising the food.
05:17We decided to get the actual essentials.
05:19This does help with, you know, the whole lack of kitchen,
05:22lack of pretty much any other room, like a lack of functional.
05:25I'm not sure that anyone knows this yet.
05:27Hanni has a dodgy knee and is now on crutches.
05:30I like your styling.
05:31Oh, it's a temporary one.
05:32They've got to order the...
05:33Okay, but I do like the little bit of orange there.
05:36It looks good.
05:37But the knife...
05:39So the wine is for the pain.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Well, the wine is for the pain, June.
05:42Do you have a broomstick or something?
05:44Do I have a broomstick?
05:46No, I'm sorry.
05:47I'm all out of broomsticks at the moment.
05:49It's in for maintenance.
05:52There's no light on this side of the room.
05:54And if we have the lights on at night, it's a bit dark.
05:57Also, if we ever want to work at the ziplatter, let me just grab this one here.
06:01Now, there's no sockets on this side of the room either.
06:03Yeah.
06:04So I'm feeding an extension lead that I bought today
06:07through behind the mirror because there's sockets on the other side.
06:09Okay, to go down there.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Excellent.
06:12That being said, it's proven a little bit more difficult than expected.
06:18I need something to run it through.
06:19So you want help pulling the mirror forward?
06:21Like this, yeah.
06:22All right, okay.
06:23I'm going to need both hands for this.
06:25I can sort of see you fiddling the other end,
06:27but I can't see any wire coming through yet.
06:29I'm going to see if I can grab it with a coat hanger.
06:31It's like fishing.
06:32Yes!
06:32Oh my god!
06:33That's amazing.
06:35Okay, moment of truth, Philip.
06:39That is lovely.
06:40Yeah, it makes a huge difference.
06:41I like it very much.
06:43What are you working on now?
06:44So this is a painting that I bought a while ago.
06:47And I want to put it up, but look, it doesn't have the old hook came off.
06:51So it must have been an eye there, but it's gone.
06:54So I bought some, those brass ones.
06:58Okay, great.
06:59And Philip's doing this to echo the one that's on my side.
07:02Yes, I put that up yesterday.
07:04It's actually really pretty, this one.
07:06I like it.
07:07I prefer this one to the ones going on your side because this is quite blue sky.
07:11Yours is a little on the tobacco stain side.
07:15That is a little bit of work, but I love this one.
07:18This is Chateau Saint-Cloud, and this is where the king's brother lived.
07:22Actually, this is where the inspiration for the Hall of Mirrors was built by his brother.
07:26And then Louis walked in and was like, yeah, I want that.
07:29That's where the Hall of Mirrors exists.
07:31Anyway, so this is Saint-Cloud.
07:32It actually disappeared in the 1860s, 1870s.
07:36It was burned down during the war with the Germans.
07:40So that's going to go there.
07:43Okay, let me stand back, see how it looks.
07:46Oh, I love it.
07:47So these are fabric walls and, you know, one day they should be changed slightly
07:52because they're not really finished.
07:53However, I don't want to mess it up.
07:55And the problem is there's a button here to hold the lights, but it ends right there.
08:01So if I put it behind it, you also won't see it.
08:04And I am thinking with that one, there was already a wire on it.
08:08So I bought more wires that echo that and just have it hang down from a small wire.
08:12And then we can hide that in future with a little ribbon.
08:14That's it.
08:15That's why we have a slightly strange way of hanging it.
08:18But with a little ribbon, I think it'll be really cute.
08:21I'm actually on the highest tiptoes imaginable.
08:28Okay.
08:29Okay.
08:29It's not the right tool for the job, but it's the one I've got.
08:33It seems like overkill.
08:34So technically it is the right tool for the job.
08:37I think that height looks good.
08:38I mean, they're different size paintings anyway, but I think that's pretty good.
08:41This is beautiful, darling.
08:42Yeah.
08:43You like it?
08:43Massive, massive difference.
08:45I know those wall lights could do with some shades, couldn't they?
08:48To just calm the look there a bit.
08:51I mean, look, all that's going to get redone anyway, because
08:54this is not the centre of the room, which is really annoying.
08:56I know, it kills us.
08:57It's like the fireplace.
08:58Yeah.
08:58But the beds, um...
09:00In between the two, yeah, the corbels.
09:02This needs to come this way and then the lights will have to move anyway.
09:06So we can figure that one out.
09:08No, Sebastian, I'm Manu today.
09:10I think that they've gone away to try and work out
09:12exactly how they're going to sort out the joints on that fountain.
09:15But we have Brian.
09:17Morning, Brian.
09:18Good afternoon, how are you today?
09:20Very good, how are you?
09:22Fine, thanks.
09:23Excellent.
09:24Can't wait until you fill the fountain and I'll bring my, uh, bathers.
09:29Oh, you'll be in there?
09:30And I'll be in there.
09:31With your sandwich?
09:33With my, um, budgie smugglers on.
09:36Oh, I can't wait.
09:37I know.
09:38We'll be bringing you mojitos.
09:41So when will this be ready?
09:43Well, they were supposed to be doing it yesterday, that base part.
09:47And I don't know if you've noticed, but the joints don't actually join.
09:50So they've had to go away and work out a way they're going to come back and grind it, I think.
09:54Yeah, just another one of those things.
09:56But frankly, with the kitchen disaster, this isn't even on my radar.
10:01Didn't think of a super glue or...
10:04But obviously, things have started to move.
10:06Yeah.
10:06I've seen a few daffodils somewhere.
10:08There are buds on everything.
10:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:11It's all coming now.
10:12You carry on.
10:13Good seeing you.
10:14It's always lovely to see you.
10:15Lovely to see you too, Brian.
10:16I just went upstairs really excitedly because I just received a parcel I've been waiting for
10:21from Foreo.
10:22And I'm very lucky because they've kindly offered to sponsor today's video with this ad.
10:25As you all know, I've been using the Foreo UFO3
10:28regularly since I first got it a couple of years ago.
10:31I absolutely love this product.
10:34It helps keep my skin moisturised and healthy.
10:37And I use it every morning as I did this morning.
10:40But I've also recently started using the Foreo FAQ202, the most extraordinary LED mask,
10:47which makes me look like a superhero.
10:49I love it.
10:49I feel very powerful in it.
10:51Like Iron Man.
10:52It's amazing.
10:53But now Iron Man is going to be able to travel because I've just received the travel case for it.
10:58And later this month, Philip and I are going to South Africa.
11:02So I won't have to give up on using this mask regularly.
11:05I use it about three times a week.
11:06It has LEDs in eight different wavelengths, including NIR, near-infrared,
11:11to tackle various signs of ageing.
11:14Which, of course, I don't need.
11:16But, you know, it's good to keep on top of these things
11:18when one has a 28-year-old boyfriend at the age of nearly 50.
11:22It is incredibly lightweight.
11:23And Foreo put so much research into ensuring that it would fit any face shape.
11:28It's also very easy to use in offline mode.
11:30You just press the button and you are good to go.
11:33Then once you have it on, you can choose whichever light therapy you want.
11:36I've been using the NIR quite a lot.
11:39But they're all great for different skin concerns.
11:41The blue light is very good at helping with acne.
11:44What I love about it is it helps to brighten my skin tone and reduce sunspots.
11:48Because with my skin type, I have a lot of freckles.
11:50And now they are mainly becoming sunspots.
11:52I like your freckles.
11:53Yes, the freckles, okay, I can live with.
11:55But the sunspots, not so much.
11:57And I'm so happy because I'm going to be able to take it with me now.
12:00I wonder what they're going to think at customs.
12:02But I'll also be able to check my Foreo and my mask.
12:05So I can decide which masks I want to take with me.
12:08This is so exciting.
12:10It's become such an ingrained part of my skincare routine
12:12that I'd have felt lost without it in South Africa.
12:15And if you'd like to try it for yourself, now is the perfect time.
12:18Because I have a special promotional code for you.
12:20Diaries30.
12:22And if you use that, you'll receive 30% off your order.
12:25And that's on top of any other discounts that Foreo also have going on at the moment.
12:29You'll also have an extra 30% off.
12:31So to make the most of that, just click the link in the description box below
12:34and use the code Diaries30.
12:37And now it makes me want to start packing everything.
12:39But we're not going just yet.
12:40A week or two still to wait.
12:42And then we'll be off to see my mother and Percy and Geri.
12:45Oh, there you are!
12:46Was this sandwich delivery?
12:49What were today's sandwiches?
12:51Mine was jambon cru with, was it brie?
12:57Mm-hmm.
12:57And salad and a delicious mustard.
13:00Very nice.
13:01I mean, you don't get that if it's a pan, do you?
13:04So you're making us a juice instead of a sandwich?
13:06Uh, yeah, well, you can have the sandwich if you like.
13:09No, no, you know me.
13:11I thought it was a juice time.
13:12Absolutely, I'm with you on the juice.
13:14We are healthy.
13:15Spinach.
13:16Ah, it's in the other fridge.
13:17But we have limes.
13:19Yum.
13:20So what's the juice going to be?
13:21It's lime, celery, spinach and parsley.
13:26Weird and wonderful.
13:28Yeah, I'm not sure about this one.
13:30It's called spinach supreme.
13:32People making more dust?
13:33Oh, this is the last bit coming down now.
13:35It's the last bit, thankfully.
13:36Oh yeah, thank goodness for that.
13:38I've had a face full of dust this morning already.
13:40And Anne-Marie had a mouthful of filthy water.
13:44Oh, no, no, you didn't.
13:45It is, yeah, all of, yeah.
13:47What?
13:48Yeah.
13:48What happened?
13:49Well, it was in the rondelle for the OG light.
13:54There was still water stuck in there.
13:57Oh, no, you didn't.
14:00You're going to be doing that all day now.
14:01No, I didn't laugh, obviously.
14:04No, of course you didn't.
14:06But, oh, do you need an aftermath?
14:11I think he wouldn't have given it to you, actually, Anne-Marie.
14:14Yeah, I mean, he's so handsome.
14:16Oh, such a tease.
14:19So you want to get on so well.
14:20I don't know what goes on when there's no cameras on.
14:57So,
15:22OK, juice time.
15:23Oh, yes.
15:24Oh, look at this.
15:25So in here we have five cups, sort of, of spinach in our Thermomix.
15:31It's still working.
15:32Five stalks of celery.
15:34We're going to put that in there.
15:35Boom.
15:36Boom.
15:36We're not sure if this all is going to fit in here, but we, we just choose to believe.
15:42The lime goes in whole like that, it's not the juice.
15:44Well, I kind of like it like that.
15:46So it's going in whole.
15:48OK.
15:48Cucumber and, and, um, let's...
15:53I'm not sure we can fit anything more, actually.
15:55So let's just put a few in and squeeze the rest.
16:00Compromise.
16:03I guess we just fill it up.
16:04It didn't say.
16:06I am excited about this.
16:07I'd be more excited if Ollie weren't making a delicious ham and egg sandwich.
16:13Mmm, who needs egg sandwiches when they can have green gunge?
16:18To health.
16:19Quite literally.
16:22Oh, cheers.
16:23Oh, wow, your health went fast.
16:24Is it good?
16:26Which was better, the green juice or the egg sandwich?
16:30It's difficult to say.
16:32I think I know what that means.
16:35I like it.
16:37Look at him happily eating his sandwich.
16:41It tastes very, very healthy.
16:44I'd call it challenging.
16:45It's called spinach supreme for a reason.
16:48That's the bit.
16:49Because it's supremely challenging.
16:52Marie has decided to add pineapple to the rest of the green juice.
16:56Do you think this is the answer?
16:57It's necessary.
16:58This is the fun factor.
17:00Yeah, otherwise, how can we do this every day?
17:02I mean, meanwhile, I'm frantically helping myself to more before it goes in.
17:07Looks wise, I would say identical.
17:10No, Marie, that's good.
17:11Yeah, much better.
17:12Yeah, you nailed it.
17:14Ollie and I have come out for a walk in the woods with Coco and Galahad.
17:18And we're trying new paths that Jean-Christophe has cleared up here
17:22that the wonderful Nick the Tree Surgeon created.
17:25And Jean-Christophe has been keeping them really clear.
17:27And we never come up here, which is silly.
17:33Hey, look who we bumped into.
18:14Merci. I hear you cook tonight.
18:15Thank you. I'm the chef tonight.
18:16I hear him.
18:17Marie is at the restaurant.
18:19Can you please come back?
18:20With Andy.
18:21No, no, no. Come on. This is great.
18:24Sausages.
18:25Yeah.
