DIARY OF A POM
AUG 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 beautifl. Iv finally found my home, I LOVE it here!
SEPT 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 every day like this. Im turning into a sun worshiper.
SEPT 30TH
had the backyard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but i love it here.
OCT 10TH
The temperature hasnt been below 35 all week, how do people get used to this kind of heat?
At least today is kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than i expected.
OCT 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.
OCT 20TH
Kitty (our cat) sneaked into the car this morning when i was leaving for work. By the time i got back to the car at lunch time, 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. I learned my lesson though, no more pets in this heat!
OCT 25TH
the wind sucks. It feels like a fucking giant blow dryer!! And its hot as hell! The home air conditioning is on the blink and the AC repair man cahrged $200 just to tell me he needed to order parts.
OCT 30TH
Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $600,000 house and we cant even go inside! Why did I ever come here?
NOV 4TH
Its 38 today. Finally got the ol' air conditioning fixed today. It cost $1,500 and gets the temperature down to 25, but thebloody humidity makes the house feellik eits about 30...stupid repairman.
NOV 8TH
If another wise arse cracks "Hot enough for you today" I'm going to fucking throttle him. Fucking heat!
By the time i get to work the cars radiator was boiling over, my clothes are soaking fucking wet and i smell like baked cat!
NOV 9TH
tried to run some messages after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seats in the car.
I thought my fucking arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hairs on back of my legs and my fucking arse! Now my car smells of burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat!!
NOV 10TH
The weather report might as well be a fucking recording! Hot and sunny...Hot and sunny...Hot and fucking sunny!!!
Its been too hot to do anything for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might warm up by end of next week! Doesnt it ever rain in this damn fucking place? Water rationing will be next, so my $5000 worth of fucking palms just might dry up and blow into the fucking pool, even the plams cant live in this fucking heat!!
NOV 14TH
Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 41 toady. Now the AC in my car has gone. the repair man fixed and said "is it warm enough for you today"?
My wife had to sepnd the $2,500 mortagage payment to bail my ass out of jail for assaulting the stupid fucker. Fuck karratha!What kind of sick demented fucker would want to live here??
DEC 1ST
WHAT?????? THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER???? YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING!!!!

We'd happily swap.
Spent five months in Perth last year as Ant has family there and lived there for many years.
We were there at the height of summer. Inc over christmas where temps reached mid 40s.
LOVED EVERY GODDAMN SECOND AND VANT GET BACK FAST ENOUGH!!!!
