Clean up time. :(

You're right S . . . I'm a serious swimmer and I don't wear boardies.

Why anyone would do any serious exercise in that dust is beyond me . . . seriously bad for your tubes.

A during and after photo, here in Bayside:

The first picture shows the worst that we got in my area, and again 24 hours later.
Same camera, same settings, same location, same time of day.

See, now only we could have an 8 page thread about dust.


It's so very British.

I didn't listen to the news. I was too busy doing other more fun things. ;)

That's exactly what I thought when I saw them together on the computer, I didn't realise until then just how much different it actually was.

It's also reminded me to go outside tomorrow and get a picture to match the one I took. Now if I can only remember where I was standing!
