I am 39 and a bit... so...........

I am 39  and this year I am that age so what?

Do I have to have endless celebrations like my work colleagues ?

Do I have to have a midlife crisis?

Do I have to dye my hair lose 4 stone and rediscover myself?

Do I start to think I am old enough to be your  mother ?  this is referring to exactly that and not window shopping...as if....

What do I do?

mmmmm

I could learn how to cook cakes... seriously have you seen my cake cooking posts?

I could learn how to cook...

I could learn how to sew...

I could learn how  to dance...

I could learn how to drive....

I could ride a Roller coaster again .... last time I was 12.

I could try and learn the off side rule.....

Pondering a midlife crisis.....

I am challenging Catherine to write about being 39 and a bit.. sorry to give your age away !

Invisibility... its great !

 Invisibility is great  so you are a quiet and lonely sort does it matter no. Whether you are quiet in the real world or across the realm of social media it doesn't really matter. You think your voice isn't being heard but I assure you in some small way that it is.

I feel life is to sort to worry about such thinking's now, yes I might have the occasional lasp  and be ooh woe is me . But as I have come to realise its my blog my rules, obviously i have to be careful as I work in a school. I am not the sort to sear and  blog about naughty things anyway that's not me and not my style.

I am a social watcher much the same as you observe life when eating at say a Parisian cafe..... I am never nasty. Now I don't aspire to belong to any social set  whether it me here or in the real world . I just go with the flow.

You have seen the film 'Wonderful Life'  ? Good that's exactly how I used to feel but not now except the bit at the end where you get that warm fuzzy feeling.  I just tune it and tune out,think Dylan the rabbit in 'Magic Roundabout' and that's me now. Except on the days when I mess my blog up then I am running  around like a headless chicken.

So use what you've been dealt with as a bonus to you and don't feel you have to go my the flow of what happening  around  you  in the cyber world or real life,

Dubai............. Atalntis The Palm

Its magic to put it midly , Atlantis is a celebration of the ocean. It is a majestic ocean-themed destination that opened in September 2008 and is one of the world’s most sought after resorts. Atlantis, The Palm has 1,539 guest suites, each with an ocean or palm view. If you’re lucky (or rich / famous ) enough, you can even stay in the famed Bridge Suite which spans the Royal Towers.

Atlantis The Palm

Housed at the resort is the famed Aqua venture Water park, the largest water park in the Middle East with heart-stopping water slides set in a lush, luxurious tropical landscape. My son did decide to  to ride the highest water slides in the Dubai.  One tip here bring your own water out and waves flip flop etc as the ground is baking hot ! And don't forget the suncream,high factor! !

Yes that's my son then age 11 going down that slide!

You can visit Dolphin Bay and swim with the dolphins, or The Lost Chambers, a maze of underwater corridors and passageways providing a journey through the ancient city of Atlantis. You can even feed the rays (which my husband and son did ).

Feeding the ray at the marine habitat Atlantis The Palm

 The resort is also home to one of the largest open-air marine habitats in the world, with some 65,000 marine animals in lagoons.

It pure luxury at Atlantis Palm .....
