weird red sky

Woke up this morning to see the strangest sky I have ever seen. It is all over red, really red and hazy. What with the wind howling one could imagine it's a version of hell, without the heat. I expect an earthquake or a volcano (if Australia had any) to erupt at any minute, it's that ominous looking. I think there'll be a few fallen nests on the ground by the day's end if this wind keeps up.

Turns out we have dust blowing in from the west reducing visibility to 2 metres. Ferry services have been cancelled and airline arrivals and departures disrupted.

I have decided not to put my newly washed towels out on the line having heard that red dust is coating surfaces out there. I'm going to hunker down and stay in, don't need any of that stuff in my lungs! Should be over by tomorrow they say.

Now I have no excuse but to write so here goes.
