Sandy sandy sandy

We've been having quite a little sandstorm over here in the UAE. Although the winds are scarcely felt here in the city among all the tall buildings, the sand is sure in the air. Our car, which is dry washed every 24 hours, sports a healthy coating of dust every time we go out. 

In addition, our poor laundry also sported a healthy coating of dust after being hung to dry outside. I contemplated re-washing it for a few minutes, then just decided to beat each piece for a few seconds to get it mostly un-dusted and call it good. I think until we buy a dryer, this is just going to be a fact of life.

The sky is white; visibility is low, but it's nice and cool at least, which I am remembering to appreciate.
