Khamseen has begun

The hamseen has begun. If you're wondering what that is, they're the dust/sandstorms. I opened the windows because there was a nice breeze blowing, and it's gotten stronger until it blew a half full 1.5 liter water bottle off the table, along with every paper around my computer.

I just realized that I had to brush off my computer twice already this morning because the keys had gotten gritty. My phone looks like I haven't touched it in a week, and I had two calls this morning.

Time to close the windows.

Update: All over now as quickly as it started. Nice day now, actually. I wonder how often these come around.
