Diary of a Brisbane Summer (by a Pom)
Sorry if this is old but this is the first time I have read it...
>> Diary of a Brisbane Summer (by a Pom) August 31st Just got
>> transferred with work into our new home in Brisbane!! Now this is
>
>> a
>> city that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy
>> evenings.
>> What a place! I watched the sunset from a deck chair on the verandah.
>> It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.
>>
>>
>> September 13th:
>> Really heating up. Got to 35 today. Not a problem. Live in an
>> air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car What a pleasure to
>> see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.
>>
>>
>> September 30th:
>> Had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms
>> and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me.
>> Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
>>
>>
>> October 10th
>> The temperature hasn't been below 30 all week. How do people get used
>> to this kind of heat? At least today it's kind of windy though. But
>> getting used to the heat and humidity is taking longer that I expected.
>>
>>
>> October 15th:
>> Fell asleep by the pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.
>> Missed 3
>> days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though.
>> Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
>>
>>
>> October 20th:
>> I missed Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.
>> By
>> the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Kitty had died and swollen
>> up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $3,000 leather
>> upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells
>> like Wiskettes and cat sh*t. I learned my lesson though. No more pets
>> in this heat.
>>
>>
>> October 25th:
>> The wind sucks. It feels like a giant bloody blow dryer!! And it's
>> hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the blink and the AC
>> repairman charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needed to
>> order parts.
>>
>>
>> October 30th:
>> Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $450,000
>> house and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
>>
>>
>> November 4th:
>> It's 35 degrees. Finally got the ol' air-conditioner fixed today. It
>> cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but this bloody
>> humidity makes the house feel like it's about 30. Stupid repairman. I
>> hate this stupid place.
>>
>>
>> November 8th:
>> If another wise ar*e cracks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to
>> strangle him. Bloody heat. By the time I get to work the car's
>> radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell
>> like baked cat!!
>>
>>
>> November 9th:
>> Tried to run some messages after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the
>> black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my a*se was on fire. I
>> lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and my
>> a*se. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried a*se, and baked cat.
>>
>>
>> November 10th:
>> The weather report might as well be a bloody recording. Hot and sunny.
>> Hot
>> and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for 2 damn
>> months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
>> Doesn't
>> it ever rain in this damn place? Water rationing will be next, so my
>> $2,000 worth of palms just might dry up and blow into the bloody
>> pool. Even the palms can't live in this heat.
>>
>>
>> November 14th:
>> Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 38 today. Now the air-conditioner's
>> gone in my car. The repairman came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for
>> you
>> today?" My wife had to spend the $2,500 house payment to bail my a*se out
>> of
>> jail for assaulting the repairman. Bloody Brisbane. What kind of a sick
>> demented idiot would want to live here?
>>
>>
>> December 1st:
>> WHAT????? This is the first day of Summer???? You are f**king kidding
