"Our First Winter"


DEC 20th
It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the
First we've seen for years. The wife and I took out our hot toddies and
Sat on the porch watching the fluffy soft flakes drift gently down
Clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It's so beautiful
And peaceful.

DEC 24th
We awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white glistening snow covering as far as the eye could see. What a fantastic sight, every tree and bush covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shovelled snow for the first time ever and loved it. I
Did both our driveway and the pavement. Later that day a snowplough
Came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow
From the street. The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and
Shovelled it away again. The children next door built a snowman with
Coal for eyes and a carrot for a nose, and had a snowball fight, a
Couple just missed me and hit the car so I threw a couple back and
Joined in their fun.

DEC 26th
It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature dropped to around minus 8 degrees. Several branches on our trees and bushes snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled the driveway again. Shortly afterwards
The snowplough came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is now
A brownish - grey.


JAN 1st
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which soon became ice when the temperature dropped again. Bought snow tyres for both our cars. Fell on my arse in the driveway. Went to a physio but nothing was broken.


JAN 5th

Still cold. Sold the wife's car and bought her a 4x4 to get her to
Work. She slid into a wall and did considerable damage to the right
Wing. Had another 8 inches of white shite last night. Both vehicles are
Covered in salt and iced up slush That bastard snow plough came by
Twice today. Where's that bloody shovel.


JAN 9th
More f ***ing snow. Not a tree or bush on our property that hasn't been
Damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing
To death with candles and a paraffin heater which tipped over and
Nearly torched the house. I managed to put the flames out but suffered
Second degree burns on my hands. Lost all my eyebrows and eyelashes.
Car hit a f ***ing deer on the way to casualty and car was written off.



JAN 13th
F ***ing b *****d white shite just keeps on coming down. Have to put on every article of clothing just to go to the post box. The little c*nts next door ambushed me with snowballs on the way back - I'll shove that carrot so far up the little b*****d's arse it'll take a good surgeon hours to find it.

If I ever catch the c*nt that drives the snowplough I'll chew open his chest and rip out his heart with my teeth. I think the b *****d hides around the
Corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he accelerates
Down the street like Michael Schuf ***ingmacher and buries the f ***ing
Driveway again.


JAN 17th
Sixteen more f ***ing inches of f ***ing snow and f ***ing ice and f ***ing sleet and god knows what other white shite fell last night. I am in court in 3 months time for assaulting the snowplough driver with an ice-pick. Can' t move my f***ing toes. Haven't seen the sun for 5 weeks. Minus 20 and more f***ing snow forecast.


JAN 18th
