bad air day...

the air here is bad, real bad. heard that kl is worse. we couldn't do
much since yesterday as the haze made it unbearable to be outside. am
suffering from dry throat and a slight cough. anyway if the situation
persist on with no rain then i guess some of the big trees here will die
too, noticed some of the durian trees are shedding leaves till it is
almost botak. we have had no rain since a long time and the weather has
gone crazy, exceptionally hot as compared to last year when july/august
was cool right till the year end with loads of rain. water level at the
pond has drop 18inches at the very least and the stream is a trickle now.
we did some painting today, painted the 1X8 planks which would be used
for the floor boards and walls of the barn. thank God, the structure for
the barn is up, was not easy task to put it up but we managed to do it
yesterday. there's this sense of fulfilment seeing the structure coming
up, hopefully the haze will go away and we can be more productive again.
Insya Allah!
