    I sleep in the attic in our house. I've noticed over the last few days the windows have gotten very dirty like when we had the ash cloud. Is their sand in the low that brought winds up from Spain/North Africa?

    And if you were outside just before sunset you'd have seen a band of colour close to the horizon all around.

    It was rust in colour. Like this but all around.

    Good point. The cars had a nice dusting tonight alright. Was kindof thinking the same thing.

    October is the month when baby spiders or spiderlings disperse using threads or strands of gossamer in a process known as ballooning
