Anyone have any idea how much longer our poor country has to endure this shocking weather ?

This winter is the first time ever that I have chosen to stay away from the bank rather than sit it out, am I the only one thinking this ~think

DIARY OF A POMMIE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

August 31 – Just got transferred with work from Leeds UK to our new home
in Adelaide, South Australia. Now this is a town that knows how to
live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I watched the
sunset from a deckchair by the pool yesterday. It was beautiful. I’ve
finally found my new home. I love it here.

September 13 – Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem
though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car.
What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I’m turning into a
sun-worshipper.

September 30th – Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants
today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me. Another
scorcher today, but I love it here.

October 10th – The temperature hasn’t been below 35 all week. How do
people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it’s windy though.
Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatizing is taking longer than I
expected.

October 15th – Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns
over 60% of my body. Missed three days of work. What a dumb thing to do!
Got to respect the ol’ sun in a climate like this.

October 20th – Didn’t notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car
before I left for work this morning. By the time I got back to the car
after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag
and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat
shit. I’ve earned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.

October 25 – This wind is a bas*ard. It feels like a giant f*ckin’ blow
dryer. And it’s hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink
and the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs
to order parts from f*ckin’ Perth….

October 30th – The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still
haven’t arrived for the f*ckin’ aircon. Been sleeping outside by the
pool for three nights now. Bloody $600,000 house and we can’t even go
inside. Why the hell did I ever come here?

November 4 – Finally got the ol’ aircon fixed. It cost $1,500 and gets
the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it
feel about 30. Stupid repairman.

November 8 – If one more smart arse says ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I’m
going to f*ckin’ throttle him. F*ckin’ heat! By the time I get to work,
the car’s radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking f*ckin’ wet
and I smell like baked cat!

November 9 Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on
the black leather upholstery in the ol’ car. I thought my f*ckin’ arse
was on fire. I lost two layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my
legs and my f*ckin’ arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse
and baked cat!

November 10 – Weather report! It might as well be a f*ckin’ recording.
Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and f*ckin’ sunny! It’s been too hot
to do anything for two f*ckin’ months and the weatherman says it might
really warm up next week.

November 15 – Doesn’t it ever rain in this damn f*ckin’ place? Water
restrictions will be next, so my $5,000 worth of palms might just dry up
and blow into the f*ckin’ pool. The only things that thrive in this
hell-hole are the f*ckin’ flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for fear
of swallowing half a dozen of the fu*kers!

November 20th – Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 f*ckin’ degrees today. Now
the air conditioner’s gone in my car.. The repair man came to fix it and
said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I had to spend the $2,500 mortgage
payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid fu*ker. F*ckin’
Adelaide! What kind of sick, demented f*ckin’ idiot would want to live
here!

December 1 –
WHAT!!!!
The first day of Summer!!!!
You are f*ckin’ kidding!

think i will put up with the snow

~clap ~clap ~clap

I’ve not been out much over winter due to a combination of health & river/weather conditions.

Early next week is looking absolutely raw cold again (at the moment) with a bitter NE air-flow.

[TF_maker]

Went out for a pleasure session last week, first time out since end of november, i was so looking forward to the day out, i blanked! But it was still a pleasure

[TF_Hillbilly]

Not been since 6th Dec. Got to go Sunday for a Winter League but can’t say I am looking forward to it.
