Haze Haze Haze

Hi

This morning when I woke up but still sleepy I thought I smell something burning. When fully awake I realized it was the haze again. 

Yesterday and the days before the air quality here was better. Adli was here for the weekend and we could take him out. He behaves well when taken outside. It is good that he has now gone back, the air quality today is deteriorating. The last I check at the website the air quality index was at 213, orange, very unhealthy.

Heard the schools close, maybe true because I didn't see any student passing here this morning. The house in the neighborhood looked quiet maybe everybody remains indoor except me raking the dead mango leaves on the road in front of the house.

Hey no, there was the drumbeat coming from the nearby army camp. The soldiers were doing their training and I could hear the instructor shouting away marching commands. His voice rose over the sound of the drums. 

Was he wearing a mask too? If not he would be breathing and swallowing all the smoke and pollutants in the haze. But then his shouting might burst the thin mask :))   A little cumbersome with all these masks really. Wonder how effective it is in filtering out the smoke and dust particles. Anyway, it is advisable to wear one especially if the AQI is getting higher.

It is such a restless time if one has to remain indoor for as long as the haze keeps hanging there for days, the answer is to wear the mask. Effective or not? Hope it is. 

How the air quality is one has to get out and about because there are things need to be done or one is itched to do things that one likes. Me, the other day when the haze was quite bad I still went for a morning swim. And this morning, no matter how thick the haze, I can't wait to repot this hydrangea as I have just got a new and bigger container for it. 

 Below haze at 7.40am today.

That's my observation on the haze in my place. Hope condition in your place is not as bad.

Take care.
