Not the end times. Or maybe that is what they want you to think.

Does this mean pollution levels are through the roof at the minute?

Thinking if I should take the train home...

Previous blow ins of Saharan dust were supposed to be not very good for asthmatics so may be wise.

As I said, it's clear in Bristol by now after a very murky morning (see attached) so should mostly blow over in a couple of hours

Having said that, I would have thought that the wind would mean the usual pollution of diesel particulates and the like wouldn't be as bad, so dunno

Either sand in the air or the Donald has hit the button.

Just sand in the air today, but it's only a matter of time...

Yeah, I was wondering whether this would be a good excuse not to go for a run this evening. Not asthmatic, but it does involve breathing quite a bit!

it's healthy organic saharan dust

breathe those suckers in

it's imported healthy organic saharan dust

£2.99 a breath

Looking forward to cycling home in this unusual light but not looking forward to all the added junk I will be breathing in

Thinking i'm just looking for an excuse to be lazy, which is quite like me.

I cycle pretty slowly, so less breathing involved. May just have to just bike it back!

I went for a run in it this morning. Will I die?

Apologies to anyone who had just overcome their fear of the apocalypse.

He didn’t rule out my son being the Antichrist.

I stayed in an ate a fuckin massive piece of home-made steak & ale pie instead. I'm still alive, so looks like the right decision made.
