Dirty Rain

[AcedOut]

So did anyone check the state of their car this morning!?

Mine looked like it had been dipped in a sherbet dip dab.

It happened between midnight and 1am. I noticed, as I was on my Vesapa at the time. My visor was filthy this morning and then realised it was all over London as I biked in this morning.

We wondered on the way to school this morning about this. Car washes are packed today!! Its because of this, for anyone interested..

Gina - great post. I'd meant to google this, but thought it would be more interesting to field responses here!

[bonniebird]

Mine is rotten!

There was a massive storm in the Sahara Desert. It is sand from There.

[Dodo1]

Thanks! I thought that i must have really done a crap job cleaning my car on Sunday.

My car was filthy yesterday too - well, more than usual. Especially the windows. And I resolved to finally take it to a car wash. Sand from the Sahara, how romantic!

[Countrlass22]

[indiepanda]

Yes, mine was filthy Monday morning too... and being lazy it's still filthy now.

When away Skiing we had some snow it was also full of Sahara sand dust it took the wax of my skis rather annoying.

:(

[Penguin68]

Too soon, continuing pollution forecast for next 2 days!

The BBC managed to link the sand with climate change this morning.

Their expert filled a large gap warning vulnerable people to stay in but then said we all need to get out on our bikes more

[Ruskin]

Oh, well - in ancient times they had plagues of locusts chewing the delphiniums so a little dust on your chariot isn't going to change civilisation.

I found a pair of babouche and a fake rolex on my bonnet this morning.

[AcedOut]

A camel was lying on my bonnet this morning. I think it was already smoked though.

Our 4 and 7 year old entrepreneurs have decided to hold a 'sand storm' car wash outside our house on Saturday and Sunday, if anyone's interested?

Payment based on quality (and what you can afford) :)

[ryedalema]

Sorry should add, corner of Cornflower terrace and Ryedale.

Roll up..roll up.

Half the proceeds going to Kings' and half going to ToysRUs :)

[AcedOut]

Do they accept payment in Camels?

[ryedalema]

Nah...lucky strikes tho.

[Poppins]

I think it is amazing that it has come all that way but not sure I like the health implications although I did go for a run today!
