This is my life

Irene Redmon is a 27-year-old Australian. She and her husband Ken live in
Hamilton Gate in Queensland. They have three children.
When it’s hot, Irene gets up at six o’clock and tries to do all the housework
by eight. Ken makes breakfast: bacon and eggs, steak, and toast. He’s a good cook.
At eight o’clock Ken’s boss calls him on the radio. After Ken goes to work,
Irene does the rest of the housework. She hates housework. The house is sixty
years old, made of metal, and very difficult to clean. Most days Irene washes the
clothes.
At ten o’clock Irene puts the baby to bed and teaches her eldest daughter.
Usually she manages to do two hours with her. They should study six hours every
day. They eat at twelve. Irene always bakes her own bread, cakes, and biscuits.
She doesn’t go shopping, but orders food on the radio. In the afternoon she
spends time with the children.
The nearest town is Tibooburra. It’s 100 miles away. Irene isn’t lonely, but
she misses her family. Sometimes she drives into Tibooburra to stay the weekend
with a friend. The nearest neighbour lives 35 miles away. She invites him to tea
every week.
In the evening Irene reads a lot or plays cards with Ken. They don’t have a
television.
Irene likes living in Hamilton Gate, Ken loves it and wants to stay there, but
Irene isn’t sure.
