#365 - fog


This weather is weird.
It's one moment cold, then it gets warm, in the afternoon yo freeze your butt off
then it gets warm again. And I don't know, but to me, it's the coldest winter,
I've experienced in Kuwait so far.
Not really complaining, I am dreading the coming summer :-/

#Handmade - Me hat :-)


Since hubby liked the last one, this one’s for me :-)
(Free pattern on Ravelry)

We've been actually WALKING this morning. Down to Fahaheel beach. It was still pitch dark, but the advantage was that not too many people were about. It started getting 'crowded' on my way back. Perfect timing. King was panting like a steam engine for at least another hour and it took me a while to stop sweating. Boy, we are out of shape :-) It rained last night and it's cloudy every day - love it!

#365 - A rainy day

From 365 - 2013

It rained on and off all day yesterday.
NICE!
:-)
The Sahara I had in the house afterward (thanks to wet dogs), not so much ;-)

#365 - It rains in Southern Kuwait


From 365 - 2013

;-)
It rained Monday night / morning.
When I took the dogs, I got the last bit of it, about 20 drops ;-)
It's been a gorgeous, sunny, fresh day yesterday and today it's cloudy again, but without the mugginess.
Love it, it can stay that way!

#365 - Cooler is better


It's officially getting cold in Kuwait.
I saw the first Asian in a thick winter jacket and wool hat
 & King stayed with me on the balcony first time since March ;)

Also a good time to move the plants back outside to catch some sunlight.

The two story Rattan stand in the back screamed 'take me' at me this morning
as it was laying abandoned at the side of the trash can :-)

#Kuwait / Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

From 365 - 2013
Weather yesterday: Cloudy with a chance of meatballs dust.
It was humid, in the morning it smelled like rain, but soon enough I realized, it's humidity.

From 365 - 2013
Later mixed with dust. Yummy!

From 365 - 2013

Today it's gorgeous though. Nice and cool and clear :-)

 And here's a view to our collective trash pile. Growing since two weeks, yumyum! And the water that's growing all kinds of new Life, science at my doorstep...

#365 / Kuwait weather


Made it to the beach the first time in months. Didn't let the dogs off the leash though, too much trash.
Just wanted to walk some. It was windy, but the sand didn't get me thanks to a low tide and me not being in the 'line of fire' :-)
There's no more Seaglass. Guess due to all the construction the tide line has changed.

From 365 - 2013

Hab's endlich nochmal zum Strand geschafft, es ist wunderbar kuehl morgens. Es war sehr windig, aber der Sand hat mich nicht erwischt, da Ebbe :-)
Hunde hab ich an der Leine gelassen, viel zu viel Muell und ich wollte einfach nur was laufen.
Es gibt kein 'Seaglass' mehr. Schaetze wegen den ganzen Umbauarbeiten.

It's getting colder, I had to turn the water heater on again :-)
Es wird wirklich kaelter, ich musste das Heisswasser wieder anschalten :-)

#365 / Kuwait - Hazy dust

#365 / Kuwait - Dust Party - Day one, 5.30am


Dust Party - Day one, 5.30am

Hazy dust, dangerous. You go out, thinking its humidity or dust and breathe it. Am sitting on the balcony anyway. But not for much longer, not smart.
The forecast had it until Thursday, but they took Tu & Wed out (they don't mention it for today any more either though, so go figure), temps are up to 45C / 113F, but here at the coast it's less - only about 40C.
Happy weekend everyone ;-)!

#Kuwait - Fahaheel beach


"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, 
but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, 
and to build confidence in the creative spirit" 
Ansel Adams 

 Been out for an hour, it's only 30C and I feel like someone locked me into a Sauna for too long.
I need to toughen up before summer comes along!

#Kuwait - Another day in paradise

It seems I cannot win, can I? It's either dust, backpain and headache or more dust. Here's to hoping it doesn't grow into a grown up dust storm and just stays hazy and icky.

#Kuwait - Dust minus Bunnies


We got one of those sneaky dust storms. The ones where you think it's just windy and gloomy. 
Really weird is, that it comes from the ocean. 
Sure tell tale sign was the sky turning yellow. 
It's all the Iranian's fault, I tell you!
;-)



Left side dust - right side no dust

#365 - sunshade


From 365 - 2013

Almost perfected my sun roof. 
Working with metal clothes hangers and wash pins. :-)

Pic straight from the phone, no tripods or editing software were harmed ;-p

Btw. during the noontime hours we have about 34C / 93F here by now...
