I've been under the weather the last few days, in the grip of some kind of stomach bug. Even so, one can rest only so much. When I haven't been at the office or sleeping, I've been working on this painting. The photo quality isn't the best - I like to take pictures of my paintings in the natural light on my roof but it's dark outside now - but I think this gives you some idea of how it looks.

I like this photo.
Another Sand Storm Picture
Sand Storm
By now you may have read in the news that we had a major sand storm yesterday. Locals say it was the worst they'd seen in 30 years. We were just starting to drive to the festival of Jenadriyah when the storm struck. It started as a distant wall of cloud, and it was on us in no time. Visibility was so bad we had to turn around and go home.
I was in a sand storm during my first deployment, and I thought it was pretty bad, but this lasted longer, contained higher winds, and the dust was much thicker. This storm was bright orange, like the dunes to the northeast of Riyadh.
Where it not for the fact that the dust covered everything and got everywhere, even inside my house, I would say that it was beautiful.
