Khakbad


Khakbad (say 'hokbod'): a duststorm like the one that blew in a week ago and again today (the photo was taken mid-morning). The conditions are a decrease in temperature - it's about 10 degrees celcius compared with yesterday which was a balmy 25 - combined with poor visibility and a fine dust in the air which covers everything, inside and out. Needless to say, my warm clothes are out including a down jacket I was hoping to save until winter and it's only late October! Guess this doesn't bode well for the quality of insulation in my house either.
