Happy New Yaer!~

Mes amis Mérise does not hear wish to go on abuot teh many presents he from his freinds, admierers & adwersaries got, even though some of them were wery exciting (Agley boughted Moarose a case of 1945 Château Latour, & Merose him bought a tie, made from geniune nylon!). NO mes amis it sounding like boasting would be. And Mírose is NOT one to boast. He wery, wery modest is.

Eh bien. The point is taht for teh new year Mierose is in his castel in La Mancha, Spain. Thats right, Merose has a castel in Spain. Witch he hasnt been to since Septembre 2009. Teh perils of ahving so many hosues, mes amis!! Eh bien, he there now is. And enjoying it mutch is.

He left NYC on teh New Years' Eve Eve (ie, 30th Decembre) and much sad was to leave it as it a nice town is. But tehn he mutch glad to in Spain be. Even though it also here wery cold is (-10°C mes amis .... wery cold in tihs old, stone castel .... Merise has all teh fires going evwery night, and its still cold, he might have to uproot his wineyard here to provide kindling! <- Just Moereis his little joke).

After mutch discussion wiht Agley over Xmas, Merise has finally decidinated to employ estate managers to look after his Wineyards, as he in Argentina is alraedy doing. Eh bien, it is so:

• In Castelli-di-Roma, teh Bordeaux student taht he in 2009 employed, Aglie;s freind M. Michel Peynaud-Lurton, who has now finished his studies & also now owns a cháteau in Saint-Êmilion ....
• In teh South of France, his freind M. Aubert Jayer-Joly
• In Spain, M. Émile Rolland-Dubourdieu, also a Boredeaux student & a freind of Agley & M. Michel Peynaud-Lurton.
• In Paris, NSW, Australia -- YES, Mierose is going to plant a wineyard here!!! -- M. James Gago-O'Shea <--- Moerise will abuot tihs a new wobleg post wery soon. Also abuot teh apratment he plans to buyinate in Tokyo ..... but tahts too mutch news for now!!!!1!#!?!!

Teh GOOD news is that M. Michel Peynaud-Lurton managed to save some of teh 2012 harvest in Merose is castelli-romani wineyard ,,,, and made  a start on bottling teh 2009 for saleing,. Watch for tehm at an off-licence near you wery soon mes amis.

Eh bien,. Merise ment to tell you about New Year in Spain. It so far much exciting has been! Even though he left Agley & Ratatoskr & Mycroft in New York, he not bored or alone has been, becuase Merose is never bored (except when nothing exciting hapens taht can stimulate his grate geynius). NO he has spent teh evening drinking "Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva", and singing Auld Lang Sang (in teh original Spainish) to a candelstick. It much exciting was! Mèrise tried to explain exactly how exciting it was to Ratatosrk over teh phone & Ratatoskr became so excitied he couldnt stop sniggering.

Eh bien. Tomorrow Merise goes to look at his Spainish wineyards (in withc he has Tempranillo, Garnacha, Merlot & Syrah POUR LE ROUGE, & Airén, Macabeo & Chardonnay POUR LE BLANC) & decidinate wiht his new estate manager EXACTLY waht wines he will here producinate. Tehn he will drivinate into town & buy some books abuot Templars taht he at the local BOOK-SHOP saw.

Also, though he pormised NO MORE NEWS, he MUST say taht 2013 will be teh first wintage of whine from his estate in Argentina ....

Also, he has a trip lined up to a Templar Castel in Germany for later tihs month wiht his .... associate ... Agley. MORE SOON.

Graetings from SUNNY ESPANIA!!

Well, mes amis, it soo loooonng has been since a wobleg post by that grate geynius Mjeroise has been, that you my most devoted raeders might well have though that Mjerh¥se he kidnapped & being held hostage by teh Templars was!!!1! But no, that it did not happen. Murise teh Templar hostage takers outsmartinated.

Well, teh truht is that Mjerwse he so busy been has that he a wobleg post has not time to post had. AND yet, he now in His Castle in spain is, so now he a wobleg post can write.

Well , mes amis , Mhirrwse now a nother castle in Italia owns. THIS one, it a TEMPLAR castel in Purugia, Umbria is:

http://www.castles-for-sale.com/sale/Perugia/index.htm

And it much pretty is. But of more importance, are teh hidden Tunnels and rooms, which of Templar secrets and documents filled must be!! As SOON as M. Aglie can to Italy get once again, we will through these secret passageways explorinate. Mhyrwise, he sertain is that many Templar plot related secrets they uncover will.

But now, he injoying his castel in Spain is, ANd it much beautiful is. This one, it one of teh porperties that he from his Rich Unlcle Pedro also inheritinated.

Well, it not all fun&gmames is, despoite what it might like look! Next week, he will to Australiaiaialai flyinate, to chase up teh possibility of a Templar group in Melbourne <-- wish Mjerîse luck wiht this difficult & dangerous mision!. Then he a few weeks in Paris, Australialai will spend to rst&relax.

Castles in Spain. And Italy. And SPain.

Mes amis, Mjerise has not so much to this time report.

Agli, he is going to Germany for a few weeks and then is to his home going. Leaving Méréçe alone wonce again. WELL, This it worries Mhwrwyse not one little bit! No, mon ami, Merhyse has much to do planninated.

He has ANOTHER ex- Templar castel in Italy lined up that he himself wants to buyinate. This, it will much wiht his work in decoding teh templar plots help. Also, in a week or sos time he will teh Castel in Spain that his late Uncel Pedro to Mjerhise left go and see too. mjerhüse, he wait cannot to all this see!

Also, Mherhyse has much exciting things plannedd for his whine Castello di Mewrrüse. He is certain it the bestest wine ever will be, so much place on his mantleplace is clearing for all teh awards it will win. Even so, Agly said it much important to a business plan have is. HERE is teh busyness plan of Mjerîse (genius):

1. Make wine.
2. Sell wine.
3. ...
4. Profit!

It a GREAT plan is, befitting such a grate geynius as Mjerrhyse, no?

Phew!!!

Mes amis, it looks like once again the greate geynius of Mjérhwse has triumphed once again!! Eh bien, it is true mon ami, it looks like Mwrwyse he has an ENTIRE SECRET SOCIETY foolinated. Yes! He tricked them into thinking that he to them has Anceint Secret Templar Knowleedge them gived.

At teh moment he in his NEW apratment in New York is but wonce he this wobleg post has wrotten, he will point his web borwser to airfrance.fr and hairyplane tockets buyinate.

Oh noes!!! The tickets of First class (La Première) costinate €7,490 !! This, it much more than the frist class tockets of Atterrissage Forcé Ultra-Premium Executive First Class (wihc only cost €5.99) - -

but - - Mjîrwose he thinks after such a greayte victory,, he himslef can give a bit of a treat. JUST as a wonce off.

Also teh hairyplanes of Air France are much better than those of Atterissage Forcé --

and that quite a treat will be!! A whole flight without an engine catching fire!!!1!

Maurice for the win!!!1!

Muirise, he has won!! HE has outwitted a secret soceity most evil, that to get him was out to! AND until a few days a go he realised not what it was up to! HE into their trap most diabolical walked in most placidly like a lamb to teh slaughter!!! BUT Miuriowse, he was no lamb for teh slaughetr! No, mon ami, he outwitted them! OUT WITTED THEM ALL,!!

Eh bien, he from his estadia to Buenos Aires in his Rolls Royce drove back. Then he to the secret meeting most secret that his EX bon ami Aglie had invitinated him to went. This, it was at teh Buenos Aires "Museo de Artes y Oficios", just under their foucaults pendulum was heldinated. At the hour appointed, we all around teh pendulum gather for arcane and ancient rituals most secrete. Then, Muirrhose he saw several ectoplasmic forms appear, but Miujrrowse he them ignored as they just about teh weather and motorsports wanted to talk.

Eventually, though, teh REAL prupose of teh meeting apparent became: they convinced were that I about the secret Templar plans knew more, and tehy wanted me about them to interrogate!! I! MUarhse, the geynius of which the world has never equal measure before seen!! This, it most preposterous was. THEN they Muirowse told something most shocking: this, teh inheritance that Mjürose had seemed to have inhertiated from his Great Uncle Pedro a fraud was!!! They had it just made up to get Muirrose to Argentina for this meeting most secret!! This, it shocked Mirrowse. If this, it true were then wonce again he no muny would have!!! BUT Then, then they Murrose said to that IF he told them all about the Templar secrets, they the inheritance would let him keep!! Mirrose, he knew not what to do!!

But then, Mjurowse he an idea had. He would pretend that he DID have a secret Templar map, and that he woudl them of teh secret Templar plans for wrold domination tell. Well, this it required Mijorouse to of something think, and fast! But luckilly, Mjarise a geynius is! And for a geynius like Mhîrøse nothing impossible is. Then Mirrowse he rembered that he always, but always singned copies of his books in his bags keeps, in case he across an adoring fan most devoted happens to stumble. He got out a copy of his 1982 book Roses and Hamburgers: the Rosicrucian Role in the Fast Food Revolution, and to Aglie it gave. Mirse then claimed that the secret of teh Templars was in this hidden, and the map they sought was encoded in teh diagram on p. 498. HE said that because of teh TEMPLARS ever watchfullness, he could not them more tell, but that they could use his book Thor and the Origin of Modern Dental Floss much of value find to help them on their quest. He them a copy of this gave too. Whilst when they destracted were trying to figure this riddle most complex out, Muirrose to his Rolls Royce ran, and DROVE off as quick as he could!!

Well, he drove at only 150MPH, but he did not stop until he the 5,280 miles to his apratment in New York had driven -- YOU remember, mon ami, the one he inheritated from his rich Uncle!! He feels that here, here he safe will be -- HOPEFULLY they will his story beleive!!! And hopefully his inheritance will him let keep!

Muirise in his Argentinian ranch!!!1!

Mes amsi!!! Mjrise he is in his country estadia RIGHT NOW, and it much beautiful is!! There many many acres of prime farming land is, and the money that this it gives will for Mjorése wery helpful be. BUT of MORE interast to Mjørøse is teh grand old hosue, wihc a hughe rambling 19th century building is, wiht many fine and beautiful romes. Also, teh garden it most beautiful is.

Mes amis, also Mürüse he was a new car to buyinate himslef going to , when he told was that he a 1972 RollS Royce Silver Shadow Had inheritinated. Here a photos is that Müorjosw he took when he stopped for a walk in a park on his way down (Up? SIdeways?) from Bueneos Aires was:

Eh bien, it a most beuaitiful car is, and Mirose he it much likes.

Eh bien, Miorrorose he will now at his Estancia for a few more days stayinate, then he will on Wednesday to Buenos Aires once again drivinate, to MEET Aglie for the secret meeting most secret!!!

Mirhose in Argentina!!

Mes amis!!!1! Mjurolse le genie and his bon ami Aglie where in their investigations at Castello di Maurese so engrossed that they did not notice that they to Argentina to flyinate had to!! WE both our flights to miss managed!! But Miorohse to Argentina HAD to go, to his multi-million-dollar inheritance claiminate!!

Eh bien, we both on flights a day later planed than to get managed. WE even on teh same flight managed to get,and as there were in 1st class many seats spare we together sat and the many htings at castello di mirose had we foundinated had discussed.

Eh bien, it good to be in Argentina now is. Mirrowse enjoying Buenos Aires is!! He in his city apratment currently staying is, and it tres chic is!!!1! This apratment, it in San Telmo is, which a part of teh city most beautiful is.

Tomorrow MJoröewse he goes to see his estate in teh countryside.. Then, next week, when he from surveying teh extent of his new dominions gets back, he will to teh SECRET MEETING of te SECRET SOCIETY that Aglie has invitinated him to go to go. This secrete meeting, it most secret is, and Mirrowse he Aglie has pormised that he NO BODY, but nobody, else will about this tell!!! THIS is a promise he keep intends.

MEs amis!! Muiroswe, he much exicited is!! HE to see his estancia see wait cannot, and for the secret meeting most secret wait cannot. Even for a greate geynisu like Mjorhose, the excitement, it most unbearable is!!!

Roman in teh gloaming!!!!!!

Ah to be in Rome now spring is here. Mjwrosw, he teh first of teh spring whether is enjoying. All the crocuseses are in blume, mes amis! It is tres magnifique.

That is right, mes amis, Mjwrîce he has in Rhôme once again arrivinated -- this time by hairyplane, mes amis!! He has made plans to his new estate in Argentina visit soon, but first he is back to his new hosues in Italia.

He will in his apratment in Rhôme be stayinating, and then in a few days time he will Aglie meet, and they will together drive out to the new country estate de Måjwrose, which just outside Rhôme is. Then his bon ami Algie will for several days there stay, and help Miurowse heis new hosue explorinate. he even has Mjuowryse a few tips on whine making promiced to give -- the Castello di Muirise will be a grate whine, mes amis, a grate whine!!! Watch out for it in all good whine stores!!!!

Eh bien, Mîéø∆røß´∑ he must now sleepinate as he KILLER JET LAG still has!!!!!!

Returngin to Italy...

Mes amis, tomorrow Muéîrjhose to Italia flys back. He is going to see his bon ami Aglie, who is to visit Mjhrwse in his new Italian castle coming to visit!! This, it most exciting will be!! And it, it will make up for teh fact that M. Agliè, he did not to the birthday praty de Mjiwrøse come!

Mjuwjose has whit the lawyers in Sidney his inheritance worked out. He no longer has to worry about muney, mes amis!! He woes financial, they are solved!!!

Eh bien, Mjswzrnwrce he will again write when he in Italia is arrivinated.

Two Steam Horses

Muaejwryse he has on the tellyphone with Ratatataoskr spoken. Ratatoskra has Muiirhuwse his new car to Muiiwrise his Italian castle delivered. You may rember that when Muirowse he he thought that he was bank rupt, he a new LADA himself bought. Well, it turns out he needs it not -- or maybe he does, it for around teh estate will be good to drivinate, on teh dirt tracks and fields where his Lamborghini it no good is.

Also, Muirroise found he a slight mistake made and did not a LADA NIVA buyinate, he a Citroën 2CV boughtinate. It seem that Mirowse he somehow managed to on teh worng car bidinate on eBay.es.

 

Ah well, it much fun arround his estate to drivinate will be. And Ratatatatatatoskr has said that he will at teh car look, and for problems mechannical look and them solvinate which for Muiiwworuse a great favour will be as even though Mirose a greyte geynius is his genyis it does NOT streatch as far as ADVANCED CAR MAINTENANCE, mes amis. Aeroplanes, maybe. But not cars.

Singed Papers

Mes amis, teh papers tehy are signed by Muirrhwøse the geynius, and the formalitlies they are all having been done. Muîrhowse his inheritance it is secured!

Muiirowjse on teh way back for a coffee to cellebrate stoppinated. It was a feeling most weird, mes amis, knowing that for this Mjwryse would with HIS OWN MUNY have to payinate. It most destressing for Muwråse was!!! HE almost with his muny could not bear to part!!! But alas, even such a grat geynius as Muirose will with this have to learn to bear.

Eh bien, that is enough for today. Your bon ami Muirrowse, he much tired from his KILLER JET LAG is. He will more tomoorrow right.

Finally arrivinated in Sidney

Well, Muirrhyse has arrivinated in Australia after again fllying with Atterrissage Forcé. Well, wonce again Muirrhyse he killer jet lag has!!

First, eh went to pick up his Maserati Quatrroporte, and tehn to his apartment new in Sydney went to drive. But alas! This proved harder than previously anticipated.

Muirhyse, he sat down in teh drivers seet. But he much confused was! There was no steering wheeel, no pedals, no speed o meter or rev o meter dials, NOTHING mes amis!!! Then, after much thought and reading the entire owners manual, Muirowse he noticed that all of this, it was on the right hand seet! THEN he rembered, this, this is where these things are stored in Australiaian cars!! Lucky Muirhyse such a great geynius is, or there no hope for him would have been!

Once Muirrhyse had this figured out, he could drive to his new apartment which JUST near teh Opera Hosue is.

Well, Muirrhyse he decideded to the Eastern Distributor road take. But alas!! The drivers here, they know not how to drive! Even on teh motor way he kept meeting lots of oncoming traffic -- they kept trying to drive on teh left hand side of teh road!!! Still, at least teh Sidneysiders much glad to meet Murrhose were -- they kept blowing their horns in greeting at him, as he down teh motor way crusied at a leisurely 180km/h. (Leisurely,, except for Muuirese having to dodge all teh oncoming traffic -- drive on the right, peoples!).

Well, he in his new apratment now is, and it much beautiful is mes amis!! He wery pleased with it is. Tomororw he picks up his Jaguar XKR, and meets this lawyer to sign the documents that will get Muirrhyse his inheritance and saveinate him!!

HORRAY!! SAVEINATED!!

Muirrhyse!!! HE IS SAVED!!!!! SAVED, I TELLS YOU!!!!!!!!1!

Okay, mes amis, I will now down calm.

Ahem.

Well, mes amis, Muiirrhowse was eating a modest lunch of caviar and larks tounges with truffles in foie gras and honey sauce, when he a phone call was interuppted by. Aparently, he a great Uncle had in Argentina had! And sadly, Muirrhyse had never known of or even met his Great Uncle Pedro. And yet he to his gret nephew Muirhyse left his fortune and his properties in Argentina, Spain and America.

Oui, c'est vrai! Muirrhuse has once again been saved. Now he can his debts all pay off, and he many new desirable hosues has. In Argentina, he has an apartment in Buenos Aires and a substantial estate in the countryside. He will there have to go soon very soon.

But first he must the lawyer meet and speak wiht. Apparently this law firm they also offices in Sidney has. Murrhise agreed to meet them there, and sign the forms they need as formalalaitys.

Muirrrhose cannot wait. He to Sudney flies out tomorrow. WISH HIM LUCK!!!!
