Sunday Suffering

This was the air quality just before 12pm. The sun can't get through the thick haze / smog / smoke that's coming from the fires at a neighboring country (google : *Haze in Malaysia Singapore* if you would like to know more)
Coco : Why is the sliding door closed?
Shutting the windows leading to the catio couldn't keep the haze out so I had to shut the sliding door too
Boomer : It looks pretty bad out there
And it smells awful too!
Felix : When can we go out again, Mommy?
It all depends on the wind direction and if we get rain. It may take weeks to months before this clears up
Boomer : So what are we supposed to do till then?!
Don't worry kids, I'll think of something  :)
Boomer : I'm not happy. Why do people have to resort to burning acres of land just to save some money!? At least we have an indoor home but what about our friends out in the open? 
Tutu : Boomer sounds pretty mad, huh. Think I'll stay upstairs, out of his way
Whisky : I can't even go outside to inspect my garden. Mommy brought me outside for 5 mins and my eyes started to water like crazy
I went out to water my plants and ended up with itchy skin, teary and itchy eyes which ended up getting very swollen and runny nose. And the air really stinks too
This is the current haze situation in Malaysia. The Air Pollutant Index is at the "unhealthy" range where we are. Heavy, non stop rain is what we need but that is unlikely until around August / September.
