Diary of a Pom in Karratha, Western Australia August 31st Just got transferred with work into our new home in Karratha, Western Australia!! Now this is a town 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. Ive 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. Im turning into a sun worshiper. 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 hasnt been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today its kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than 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 shit. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. October 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant f**king blow dryer!! And its 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 $300,000 house and we cant even go inside. Why did I ever come here? November 4th: Its 38 degrees. Finally got the ol air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but the bloody humidity makes the house feel like its about 30. Stupid repairman. I hate this stupid f**king place. November 8th: If another wise arse cracks, Hot enough for you today? Im going to f**king throttle him. f**king heat! By the time I get to work the cars radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soakin f**king 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 f**king arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and my f**king arse. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried arse, and baked cat. November 10th: The weather report might as well be a f**king recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and f**king sunny. Its been too hot to do anything for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesnt it ever rain in this damn f**king place? Water rationing will be next, so my $2,000 worth of palms just might dry up and blow into the f**king pool. Even the palms cant live in this f**king heat. November 14th: Welcome to Australia!!! Temperature got to 41 today. Now the air-conditioners 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 mortgage payment to bail my arse out of jail for assaulting the stupid f**ker. F**king Karratha! What kind of a sick demented f**king idiot would want to live here? December 1st: WHAT????? This is the first day of Summer???? You are f**king kidding me
