Discouraging Sunrise 19 March 2009
When I got up this morning, my heart sank. It is not a glorious sunrise, it isn’t even one of Kuwait’s silvery sunrises, but a very very grey sunrise.
The Germans have a word “smutzich” (I may not have spelled that right) that means dirty, filthy, covered with grime . . . and the sunrise reminds me of that, it is grimy . . . and discouraging. That thin layer of yellow, whatever it is, is closer.
Weather Underground says the entire week will be clear:
But it amends that forecast with what is happening right now:
It might be a cloud, but what a grimy cloud! I hate to think that we breathe that air!

Dear Intlxptr.
I live in Kuwait and am a regular visitor of your blog. I have been really enjoying your reviews and other things about Kuwait but unfortunately i do not seem to anymore cause of your constantly posting of weather related and other stuff sourced from newspapers which is quite boring and doesnt seem to appeal anymore.
I look forward to see the old you blogging on reviews and other healthy interesting stuff, Keep Going 🙂
Thanks for your input, well wisher. I know there are a lot of other blogs out there and I am sure you will find those which better meet your needs.
TSo the Germans have ONE WORD that means all those things. I love it. Efficient as always 🙂
I don’t know why my sentence started with a “T”…
Thanks Intlxpatr for another great, well-thought and articulate post: http://www.hilaliya.com/2009/03/the-patience-of-ayoub-job.html – maybe Well Wisher will find that interesting!
LLLOOOLLL, Bu Yousef, I thought you did it on purpose, to be funny!
That one had been percolating, Hilaliya. Thank you for encouraging us all to rise above our normal levels. 🙂
