Adrian doesn't accept any responsibility for anything. 'Course, that doesn't change the "terror" part, but I'm just saying it won't change his manner trying to convince him of it.

I'm not really all that cross, and breeding is what I don't have nor want to do. I will acknowledge an address of "Mongrel" though.

The dust storm was really bad here. I woke up to a pink light outside my window - really eerie. Everything in the house had a thin layer of dust over it and as for the car! And someone told me they're forcasting another.
As an asthmatic just getting over a coughing virus I stayed indoors even though I had planned to go hunting bookshops for a book I wanted to read before Sunday. (no e available). Lucky I have lots of ebooks and 3 readers to keep me busy. :-)

Glad to hear that everyone came out OK with all the dust. We don't have the dust storms, but I do get the fine dust from the harvesting and preharvest work in the orchards around here. We even have flag warnings for when to stay indoors due to the air quality. (Which makes for a constant need to dust and wash down of the outside spaces.)

That's a fantastic mix. I aim more for fear, confusion and chocolate, myself, with a sprinkling of humorous hysteria

LOL! I'll keep that in mind (both the address, and the lack of interest in breeding)

Erk. Good to hear you'll cope indoors for a while Last I heard there's another forecast for Saturday here, so possibly Friday (oh hey, that's today!) there. Huh, if it's today, you've probably noticed it by now! My Saturday plans are in shreds. Sigh.

Interesting! It would make for a lot of extra housework Bluck. We don't get dust storms on the coast very often, so we're not used to the concept - it might as well be a rain of fish The inland country and outback folk think we're incredible wusses for nattering on about a little dust storm like this.

During almond and peach harvest times, the only choice is to either dust twice a day or ignore it. So, I ignored it for 2 weeks this time. One problem though: When I got out the wood cleaner and cleaned the wood, I could have sworn that the wood was about two shades darker than I remembered. Then I said, "The h*** with it!", and got out the air blower, closed all the windows, and blew off the outside of the house. Worked great! I may start doing this every time instead of using the broom.

***OK, so I may have exaggerated a bit.... but not by much***
