Good pictures love the dog wish we had one .
hi tam
oh well maybe one day Dave ;) ;)
Hi Kim, thanks for tweeting me about this. I can't believe how bad it is, how far-reaching. The photos of your own family are great, really love dusty & his mask. Thank you to your brother for sharing the photos from Newcastle area. It's unbelievable! Reminds me of when I was very young, before we moved to Australia, when Mt. St. Helens erupted in Washington. The dust settled all over our neighbourhood (next country over!) and we even collected little vials of it.
I hope things settle down soon.
take care
christy
hi Christy..
yeah it's been an eventful day to say the least ...
I didn't even know about the volcano in Washington!!
I would have been living in London at that time...
.. just looked it up on Wikipedia..
goodness that would have been scary!! I'll have to see if I can find the documentary on it...
fancy you have a bit of history in that dust...maybe I should save my dust off the balcony and the furniture..lol...
woah, i didn't know you get to have dust astorms like that there...the shots are great but the dust dust storm i know isn't.
happy Wednesday!!!
Kim, Great photos. Just makes me wonder how far reaching this will be in terms of people being affected by the dust, lung damage, etc.
Yet there is beauty everywhere. Interesting world, isn't it?!
Lucinda.
Well, I am not going to throw a shrimp on your barbi tonight...that is amazing - just incredible.
thanks Ayie :)

hey yes I've joined adgitize after reading Jackie's post...
not that I'm an expert on advertising but I'll see how it goes..
woo hoo so your portrait is nearly there....
thank goodness...I though it might have gone MIA ;)
you have a beaut day too Mariuca :))
Wow Kim this is really something. We have them here some times so I know exactly what a mess they cause.
If they are really bad they will even manage to spread some dust inside our house and car with everything closed up.
I am trying to join Adgetize right now but am too numb to understand what my paypal profile is.
If you went with Paypal will you please email me and tell me what information I put in there? I have no clue what to add that won;t give them complete access to our account!!
Wow good luck cleaning up!!
Hugs,
Jackie:-)

hi Jackie

I hope you are all right...are you taking painkillers??

it was a bit like a horror movie when you see the photos :0

Great snaps..very impressive.i like it a lot.

Yikes, Kim, I hope you all wore your dust masks when the advisory was on. I didn't know you could have such severe dust storms in the Sydney area.
I guess you have to batten the hatches and wait it out, and forget about getting any fresh air, when that happens.
Did you end up having to do a lot of dusting inside?
Sorry I'm late in getting around. I am all but blown out of the Blogosphere by other concerns and projects. I can't wait until this house saga is over.
Hope all is well, my dear Kim.
thanks Kristain :)
oh the dust was shocking Lynda!!!
and we had another dust storm just after we cleaned up after the first one..
I still feel dusty...eek...
hope you find some time to have a break this weekend ..
sounds like you are super busy....
with your house....fingers crossed for you at this time :)
