Diary of a Mount Isa Summer (by a Pom)

>
> August 31st
>
> Just got transferred with work into our new home in Mount Isa,
> Queensland!! 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 35 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 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 sh^t. I learned my lesson though. No
> more pets in this heat.
>
>
> October 25th:
>
> The wind sucks. It feels like a giant f#%*in blow drier!! 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
> $300,000 house and we can’t even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
>
>
> November 4th:
>
> It’s 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 it’s about 30. Stupid repairman. I
> hate this stupid f#%*in place.
>
>
>
> November 8th:
>
> If another wise arse cracks, “Hot enough for you today?” I’m
> going to f#%*in throttle him. F#%*in heat! By the time I get to work
> the car’s radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soakin f#%*in 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#%*in arse was
> on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my
> legs and my f#%*in arse. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried
> arse, and baked cat.
>
>
> November 10th:
>
> The weather report might as well be a f#%*in recording. Hot and
> sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and f#%*in 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 f#%*in place? Water
> rationing will be next, so my $2,000 worth of palms just might dry up
> and blow into the f#%*in pool. Even the palms can’t live in this f#%*in
> heat.

> November 14th:

> Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 44 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
> mortgage payment to bail my arse out of jail for assaulting the stupid

> would want to live here?
