Stuck Indoors

We'd vaguely planned to take Zahira out and about in our time here in the Malaysian capital, but the poor quality of the air has put a massive kibosh on all such intentions. It's the haze season with a vengeance. Nothing is to be seen of the city in the valley below our hill and we've had the feeling several times of looking out on a typical late-November day in the UK when gazing out of the windows of the shopping malls we've taken shelter in. There's a bit of a row going on at the moment between Malaysia and Indonesia as to which nation is to blame for attempting to suffocate us all, but if the steps taken to do something about it in recent years are anything to go by, the chances of the situation improving any time soon are negligible.
