Dust

Dusting in Manitoba is usually a figure of speech. Okay, I guess there does develop a thin layer of dust on furniture which needs to be wiped off periodically, but this “dust” is not so much dirt as it is tiny particles of miscellaneous things which collect on surfaces over time.

Here in Bamenda during dry season, dust really does collect on surfaces…in a matter of hours. (and by “dust” I mean dirt.) Dust swept off dirt roads and dusty sidewalks, carried on the air, sliding between window louvers windows and deposited everywhere.
