[…] its skin, climbing trees then disappearing in the long grass and reappearing on the public path. I have written about goannas before and as far as I know, goannas don’t make a habit of attacking humans however they will defend […]

Unbelievable. You must have been in such pain. I can’t believe you had a golf club as a crutch! Very funny story. Are you able to send me your URL so I can visit your blog? I can’t find you in the blogosphere. Many thanks xx

That happened to me! The right angled toe. I asked my mother to drive me to the ER. She looked at my foot and said, “That’s not broken.” Sheesh! But, eventually, all was well, except I had to use a putter (golf club) for a cane because we were late getting somewhere and couldn’t stop to pick up a cane. LOL! When we arrived at our destination, some total stranger looked at me and my putter and remarked, “I didn’t realize golf was such a violent game.” Heh.

That’s too funny, well apart from the pain that is! and having flown into Cairns, and visited a bit of the area I can imagine the scenario, it seems I did well to escape the goannas and wait-a-while vines when I was there!! and a big yes to your chicken recipe 🙂

Yes, he often starts his stories with, ‘When I had my broken toe…’

I remember when I went to Vegas for the first time. I had seen the orthopedic the Friday before I left because my left knee had been bothering me. He put me in a chopak strap and I was on my way. The first night I was in Vegas I called down to the front desk and asked for an extra blanket because apparently the hotel I was staying in thought a sheet and a really realy thin blanket were adequate. When housekeeping came up and knocked on the door I went over to answer it wearing t-shirt, shorts and socks and somehow I slipped on the carpet and landed on my knees. My knee was sore the rest of the night but in the morning I woke up and my left knee, my left ankle and hip were all killing me. Everyday after the conference I was attending I sucked up the pain and took some tylenol and went sight seeing. I think it was the most painful sightseeing trip I have ever been on but I made sure that I had a blast!!!

I’m sure I’ll work up to it eventually.

What crazy animals Charlie, had to look it all up! Your poor toe! That’s exactly the type of story you recount to get something! That chicken really looks delightful.
