Diary of an Englishman after he moves to South Africa….
**August 1**: Just got transferred with work from London, UK to our recent home in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, South Africa. Now this is a town that knows how to live! Gorgeous, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I watched the sunset from a deckchair by our pool yesterday. It was magnificent. I’ve finally found my modern home. I esteem it here.
**September 1:** 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 – no blasted rain like back in London! 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 fancy it here. It’s Paradise !
**October 1:** The temperature hasn’t been below 35 every week. How execute people procure used to this nice of heat? At least today it’s windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatizing is taking longer than we expected. Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days off work. What a dumb thing to enact. Got to respect the dilapidated sun in a climate like this!
**October 25:** This wind is a bastard. It feels like a giant fucking blow dryer. And it’s hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged R200 just to steer over and disclose me he needs to order parts from @#$# Johannesburg. The wife & the kids are complaining.
**October 30:** The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still haven’t arrived for the fucking air conditioner. House is an oven so we’ve every been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bleeding R4 million house and we can’t even recede inside. Why the hell did I ever approach here?
**November 4:** Finally got the fucking air-conditioner fixed. It cost R1,500 and gets the temperature down to around 35 degrees. Stupid repairman. Fucking thief. If one more smart bastard says ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I’m going to fucking throttle him. Fucking heat! By the time I procure to work, the car radiator is boiling over, my fucking clothes are soaking fucking wet and I odor like baked cat. Fucking space is the terminate of the Earth.
**November 9:** Tried to dash some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in my car. I thought my fucking backside was on flame. I lost 2 layers of flesh, every the hair on the backs of my legs and off my fucking behind. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried bum and baked cat. The Weather report might as well be a fucking recording – hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and fucking sunny. It’s been too hot to enact anything for 2 bleeding months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Fuck!!
**November 15:** Doesn’t it ever rain in this darn plot? Water restrictions will be next, so my R5,000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the fucking pool. The only things that thrive in this hell-hole are the fucking flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for dread of swallowing half a dozen of the diminutive buzzards!
**November 20:** Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 degrees today. Now the air conditioner is gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I wanted to push the car up his backside. Anyway, had to spend the R2,500 of the mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid fool. Fucking PHALABORWA! What nice of sick, demented idiot would want to live here!
**December 1:** WHAT!!!! The FIRST day of Summer!!!!
You are fucking kidding me, factual?
