Here by Glimpses Known

[wayfaringwordhack]

We've been enduring a sandstorm for two days now. The house is covered in dust, except where we have walked it off, then you can see--in the feeble, filtered light--where no one treads or crawls because of the dirt accumulated there. And if anyone questions my housekeeping, fine, but don't question my housekeeper. :P  She does a great job and was just here on Monday.  Thankfully she comes again tomorrow, but if the storm is still raging, it'll be as dusty a couple of hours after she leaves. The old windows and doors are not barricades but sieves.... And I'm just back from closing the French doors that lead onto the front balcony. The wind is so strong and the latches so weak, the doors get blown open every so often (as do some of the windows), letting in yet another dusting of dust.

Those who can avoid going out do.

I let J take Sprout to her ballet lesson this afternoon, and I kept Junebug at home. DIdn't see any point in taking him out in it since it wasn't necessary. Funnily enough, out of the 12-15 girls in Sprout's class, 5 are expat kids... Today, all the expat kids were there and only one Egyptian girl.
