I forget you've been in desert countries as well. <br /><br />Hi Grant;) the beauty of warring against the dust is that our antiquated airconditioners are working so well now. We also need to keep the heat out which has arrived already.<br /><br />Hi diane;) it was a lot of hard work but well worth it. <br /><br />Ha Mike;) you're right. But the smaller particles are not sooo bad...<br /><br />Hi Betsy;) Phew I can feel it today. After four days of physical labour (we did this on Mirriam's off day) I am quite exhausted Ha! I've not worked with the camera again - hope to really inspect the features and read up on the manual this weekend. (((Hugs))) Jo<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful blessing Pat.
