Another winter in Sweden
For all the SAffas who are freezing this Festive Season... it made the rounds via email some years ago.
This is an excerpt from the diary of a South
African who moved to Canada to get away from
crime...
November 14th
It started snowing. The first of the season
and the first real snow we have ever seen.
The wife took out buttered buns and sat by
the window watching the soft flakes drift
down, clinging to the trees and covering the
ground.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!
November 15th
We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal
white snow covering the landscape. What a
FANTASTIC sight! Every tree and shrub was
covered with a beautiful white mantle. I
shovelled snow for the first time and loved
it. I did both our driveway and sidewalk.
Later, the city snowplough came along and
accidentally covered up our driveway with
compacted snow from the street. But the
driver smiled and waved and I waved back
and shovelled again.
November 16th
It snowed an additional twelve centimetres
last night and the temperature has dropped
to around four degrees. Several limbs on the
trees and shrubs have snapped due to the
weight of the snow. I shovelled our driveway
again. Shortly afterwards the snowplough came
by and did his trick again. Much of the
snow is now brownish grey.
November 17th
Warmed up enough during the day to create some
slush, which soon became ice again. Bought
snow tyres for both cars. Slipped on my arse
in the driveway, paid $130 for the chiropractor,
but fortunately nothing broken. More snow and
ice expected.
November 18th
Still cold. Sold my wife's car and bought
a 4x4 in order to get to work. Slid on the
guard-rail and did considerable damage to
the rightquarter panel. Had another 15
centimetres of white shit last night.
Both vehicles covered in salt and crud.
More shovelling in store for me today. That
damn snowplough came by twice yesterday.
November 19th
2 degrees outside! More f***ing snow. Not
a tree or shrub 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 kerosene heater, which
tipped over and nearly burned the f***ing
house down. I managed to put the flames out
but suffered second degree burns on my hands
and lost all my eyebrows and eyelashes. Car
slid on the white shit on the way to the
hospital and was totally wrecked.
November 20th
Mother f***ing white kak keeps coming down!
I have to put on all the clothes I own just
to get to the mailbox. If I ever catch that
son of a bitch that drives that f***ing
snowplough, I'll chew open his chest and rip
his heart out. I think he hides around the
f***ing corner and waits for me to finish
shovelling, then comes down the street at
about 160km/hr and buries our driveway
again. f***ing power still off. The
shithouse froze and parts of the roof have
started to cave in.
November 21st
Twelve more centimetres of f***ing snow
and f***ing ice and f*** knows what other
kind of f***ing white shit fell last night.
I wounded the f***ing snowplough dude
with a pick, but the bastard got away. The
wife has f***ed off and left me. The
f***ing car won't start and I think I'm
going f***ing snow-blind. I can't move my
f***ing toes, haven't seen the f***ing sun
in weeks and there's more f***ing snow
predicted. Wind chill is 30 f***ing degrees
below zero!!
November 22nd
F*** THIS! I am moving back to South Africa!
