Dusty

A huge Yellow dust storm is currently drifting it's way over from China. So far this spring we have been lucky and not had it too bad but the news was selling the next couple of days last night as being especially bad. The traditional way of protecting yourself from the microscopic sand and pollution is to wear a simple cloth mask. Newspapers have been reporting about a better product on the way. These tiny nose plugs get jammed up your nostrils and they do a better job filtering out the nasty bits in the air. Not sure I'd risk that slim line of plastic not breaking though. I'll suffer and so my plan of getting back into jogging is yet again pushed back until sometime next week.

The only way to stay clear of that gunk is to not go outside! Don't buy those nose things though they look shady..
