Beautiful morning at the beach
It's my first visit to the beach for a little sun, sea & sun sand since moving to Dubai. Love it. Yes, you are right. I do get the sun, sea and sand everyday at work on site. Baking under the sun doing site observations while getting weird stares from random men, staring at sewerage pumped into the sea and inhaling fine sand particles in the air which threaten to pollute & impede my respiratory system. Cough.
The beach at JBR(Jumeirah Beach Residence) is a short 10 mins drive from my place at DISCO(Discovery Gardens). Blissful drive on a Saturday morning without traffic and my usual road rage. No creep slicing me up on the roads or woman in huge 4-wheel drive yakking on her mobile and not looking at where she is going. Bless. God would be proud of the absence of profanity in my speech today. Such an angel. Ding!
Plopped myself on a chair at one of the outdoor cafes and soaked in the view of the beautiful blue sky & sparkling turqoise sea before me while waiting for brekkie to be served. Sharibt qahwah bi sukkar wa haleeb wa akalt crepe(Arabic meaning: I drank coffee with sugar and milk and ate crepe). After satisfying her gastro, the little lady(that's me!) picked up her beach essentials from her Yaris and pranced down merrily to the sandy beach. Book. Bikini. Beach towel. Sunnies. Sunblock. Checked!
I spent most of the time just relaxing and bobbing in the clear cool water. I did attempt to swim a little to be fair. Being a rather easily contented person when it comes to the simple pleasures of life, this has made my day and I am happy to spend the rest of the day just chilling at home.
Alhamdulillah!
