So it's not enough we have to deal with the usual crap on the roads plus the winter dusting of salt we've now got our bikes covered in bloody sand?

Any chance of some normal rain followed by lengthy periods of sunshine?

It's all over our cars here, bit of dew and mist overnight and the windscreens looks as if the car had done a stage of the Paris Dakar. :^

The air in Wolverhampton today was even worse than usual. I had to shut the windows and put the aircon on in the car. Can still feel it now.

Strangely foggy all day today, and Scoobs and th'Audi covered in a fine mist of sand. What next??? A plague of locusts? Famine? :D I didn't even think we were supposed to get any of it Ooop Norf? (makeup) :|

I don't mind the locusts. It'll save me a fortune in spider food and locusts taste nice deep fried with some sweet chilli sauce.

Got offered bugs-on-a-stick a few years back on holiday, one of those delicacies that are best left to desperate, vacuous celebs I discovered. (doh)
