The dust is clearing! 
Oh wait...
More heat and Sahara dust expected
Is it time for my Sarah Pippilini joke?
Try us....? 
The Mother Superior of an old Italian convent was on her deathbed and all the nuns were taking turns to comfort and talk to her before she made her final journey.
One of the young novices asked her if she could have chosen to be anyone in her life, who would it be, expecting a reply such as Mother Theresa or Saint Agnes of Assisi.
The old woman closed her eyes, smiled and said "I should most have liked to be Sarah Pippilini"
The novice was puzzled but agreed that would be nice. She asked the other nuns but nobody knew who this was.
After a few more days, Mother Superior passed away and after the services they all gathered to elect her replacement.
Eventually, sister Mary was chosen and she took over the role with great humility.
As she settled in her new quarters, she picked up her predecessors worn old prayer book and looked through the pages.
While she read, a tattered yellow piece of newspaper fell out on the floor. She picked it up and carefully set it out on the desk and saw it was the headline from a newspaper forty years ago.
"Sahara Pipeline laid by 3000 workmen in just 6 months"
