Smokey Horizon

Last night the air temperature got warmer and warmer, making the house quite unbearably warm. This morning we awoke to Humid still conditions and whole sky orange and very dark. Before lunch time we had the lights on in the house and if you walked outside from a shop it was so dark it was like late afternoon in Winter. We have been affected by the Smoke and Ash from the Australian Bush Fires. The air smells of burnt grass and when I had a 7 k run this morning I struggled with my breathing and it was like running against a wall.
