Windy sandstorm

 

Life - It could always be worse! (Sandstorm in Iraq 2008)

Bloody - uh, sorry - I mean windy hell! Woke up at 5 this morning of the wind trying to take the house for a ride. I thought the windy sandstorm was over yesterday, but I guess it returned for some more. The sand is denser and the visibility lower than yesterday.

The house is full of sand and its 30 degrees outside. But worst of all is that the calima will continue until Sunday!

On the positive side: It's at these times you can finally use the words "What would Bear Grylls have done?!?"

And isn't it ironic...

 

Gotta buy me a camel and a burka...

We made our own little awning-kind-of-thingy over the balcony a while ago, but it fell down during the windy sandstorm in July. This weekend we finally got it back up again.

But what happened today? Another windy sandstorm came, and the awning-kind-of-thingy down it fell...

What goes up - must come down, they say. But it could have lasted a few more days!

More calima

 

Hot and humid calima weather again. Sweating and sweating. No middle thing on this island! ;) #GranCanaria

Puerto Rican nights

 

Up to 35°C in the afternoon in the south of #GranCanaria - The sun has gone down now, but its still 28°C outside and very humid. Sweating!
