It’s Spring Day. Wonderful, isn’t it?
Sure, depending on where you are in the Southern Hemisphere, the weather might not be very Spring-like. But such is life, and the meteorological musings of our planet. The good news is that the days are getting longer, the sun is shining more regularly, animals are copulating left, right and centre (I’m looking at you, Columba livia), and blossoms are beginning to appear on plants.
(At this point I should probably mention that the expats in the Northern hemisphere can feel free to take everything I’ve just written and completely reverse it to describe your current situation – sorry chaps.)
But there are a few guys who won’t get to appreciate the happy change of Spring Day, because it’s pretty hard to see the lovely flowers, let alone smell them, when you’re trapped in a deep-level mine.
Yes, this is a shout out to you, my Chilean mining friends. I empathise with you guys. That’s right, empathise, because I also get what it’s like to live in a dark hole for an extended period of time.
Forget the “scientific” advice that NASA’s been throwing your way. You think the guys who drew up that survival memo had ever lived in a hole for four months? Forget about it. I’ve been there. I know your pain.
So you can trust these ten tried-and-tested tips, my pedigree chums.
