Another story by Dr. Chris and a cracking beef roast
Some years ago when cows were cheap & horses were dear, I swapped 5 horses for 15 stud cows. The cows duly calved and one cow had a calf that was a freaking midget. A deadset dwarf! A little bull calf midget dwarf. My kids christened the calf “Little Latten”, after the guy who swapped…

Roasted beef shin… and another story from Dr Chris
“Les the windmill expert” by Doctor Chris There was this guy, Les. He was a windmill expert & he lived in Western QLD. I met him in the 1960’s. By expert, I mean this guy could dismantle a windmill with a 21-foot wheel sitting… on top of a forty-foot tower… on his own. Then he…

Miss Margaritas Cantina, Byron Bay
Aaah, back to ol’ Byron town for dinner. A town that has disappointed me so much of late with it over priced and under quality food service providers. There should be a department to police the service of shit food at exuberant prices, but I guess they would end up corrupted and in the back…

Amy and Justin come to stay part 2… burgers, flies and the swimming pool
That’s right. Part 2 in the Amy and Justin saga… no stay at our house would be complete without a swim in the pool, a conversation with the colony of flies that lives on our verandah, and a burger… It’s hot out. It’s pretty bloody hot in too, to be totally honest. The dogs lay…
