Oh dear. Guess who didn't post and anything yesterday? Yes me. Of course I have the most wonderful reason (excuse) in the world that I could tell you all about. Would you like to hear about it. Actually I have no excuse whatsoever. Gary and I had a mid week drink with friends which somehow resulted in someone( er that would be me) suddenly interjecting they were hungry, so a trip to the local curry house ensued. All in a good course though. Yet another person known to Gary is leaving the island, so we had to send them off with a drink or two didn't we. When we eventually got home I got sidetracked and lost the rest of the night. Oops. By the time I got to a laptop Thursday(which is now) first time today) it was just too late as I'm now doing my Friday skywatch post of the photo that was taken Wednesday of the jetty and lighthouse from Queens Promenade. Confusing huh?
Anyway thanks for the emails as to why I had gone AWOL. No the Fenodyree, Ginnie the Witch or the wandering wallaby hadn't got me. No I was not hiding under Manannan's Cloak. No I hadn't fallen through the Stargate or Worm Hole. The Space Time Continuum is fine, no rips in time and no Parallel Universe has claimed me. I simply had a social break, no cameras, no blogs and simply forgot. No drama or crisis, just a time slip. I could spin you a tale of trolls under Ramsey Swing Bridge causing havoc an suchlike but maybe I'll leave that 'til the next time I lose a day. Knowing this place it could happen click red below.

Well you might have missed yesterday, but this is a stunning picture of cumulus cliuds.
ReplyDeleteThe troll argument works for me!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you missed, it wasn't a fantastic shot of those lovely clouds! Gotten to the point that I enjoy your story of the day/night almost as much as the photos! And I love your photos! Thanks! Have a great weekend and don't let the trolls catch you!
ReplyDeleteI agree a good story teller you would make.
ReplyDeleteHowever a great picture taker you are. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic shot of those clouds!Really beautiful photo!

A well-written excuse is better than a good excuse! I love all your pictures of the sea, thanks for posting this one.
ReplyDeleteThat's what drink or two with a curry will do to you.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of sky. Nice one.
In spite of the fact that you missed a day,I can say that your photo is very beautiful. Have a great SWF!
ReplyDeleteYour postcard scenes are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWould that be you in the Swan again then lass?

ReplyDeleteWe all need a break now and then. Beautiful sky! A welcome sight.
ReplyDeleteI really missed you. I need my daily laugh.
ReplyDeletebut you still end up sharing a great photo though!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful shot makes me wish I was there. Your social break sounds like fun. I would like to be sitting on that beautiful beach with a glass of wine and a chunk of good cheese.
ReplyDeleteI loved your comment on mine. Now when I see the sky like it was in my shot, I'll think of a table cloth for the birds.
Well, whatever happened, it was worth it for that photo!
ReplyDeleteIs it really getting lighter now? Oh yes it is yes it is!
Gorgeous sky watch photo! Nice to know you weren't captured by aliens.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fun post and the photograph is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and hope you have more days like yesterday....there good for you!

Lovely show from your sky, just great image.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while such breaks are good, but I am glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of land, sea and sky!
ReplyDeleteA perfect postcard scene!It's good to take a break from blogging especially w/ friends! :)
ReplyDeleteA perfect world, indeed. I would love to see that in person someday.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you are human and take time out.I would love to go out on the town with you.
ReplyDeleteGetting sidetracked is what it's all about!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot as usual.
With such beautiful scenery, I like to be lost in there too. :) Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful skywatch post...and such a wit...thanks so much for your comment on my post...since I'm such a newbie, I just love any compliment on my photography attempts...
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I come for the writing or the photos anymore. Oh shoot all of it.
ReplyDeleteOur weather here the last few days, make me wish I was on the island.
ReplyDeleteSome days just seem to slip away. I haven't managed to post everyday despite my best intentions. A fabulous photo of the pier. Everytime I see your pictures of this part of the island I understand how you can fall in love with te place.
ReplyDeleteWe all need a break like that now and again. But what a comeback!
ReplyDeletesweet shot!
That's your story and you're sticking to it right! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as a postcard pic!
What a beautiful Island i could stand to be on right now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky!!
ReplyDeleteAh, good excuse! We like excuses. My Mother once told my brother to stop making excuses and he it is not an excuse but a good explanation.....so it goes. MB
ReplyDeleteA great shot.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is so blue and the clouds look pretty floating up high.
ReplyDeleteBabboshka: Everyone needs a time to recharge, great shot.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was listening to wish you were here as I came here. Nice wide open sky and beatch. Well done.

Yep. Friday the 13th is reason enough -:)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely ooooh
ReplyDeleteIrregularity is life ( and the opposite too).
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous. I am glad to know that others forget their postings once in awhile also. I am trying to get ahead on postings at least four days at a time but it is hard.
ReplyDeleteNo excuse needed - breaks are a necessity and pictute postcards wotks very well.
ReplyDeletePS Thank you for the pleasant comment - I like doing that kind of stuff.
que dire de plus : magnifique ce ciel
ReplyDeleteThis brightened my day on Friday the 13th...
ReplyDeleteNot necessary to explain the photo makes much pleasant viewing.
ReplyDeletelovely sky !
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing !
It was a lovely time slip :). I love your clouds. They look very impressive, like moving to the screen and so near to the water. I don't know how you were able to manage that. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how much I enjoy reading about these little episodes in your life spiced up with a great deal of humour à la Babooshka. Pictures aside they make a wonderful addition to the blog world. Pictures aside? No I did not hint that they are mediocre. You know they are not. Fabulous compositions and beautiful seascapes with just the right angle to capture the glory of the sky. Not mediocre. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love these clouds
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, lovely story. It sounds like something I'd do - just bursting out that I was hungry. In fact, I do it all the time and I'm surprised I'm not the size of a house!!
ReplyDeleteCiao

Wow, you've already got 65 comments! Lots of reading for skywatch Friday! Great photo, great fun.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo as usual B. Isn't it funny how we feel we have to justify our absences?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you missed posting...I think I would rather be looking at this scenery than the monitor on a laptop! Beautiful skywatch photo:)
ReplyDeleteSure, blame it on Friday the 13th! ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a grand time last night — that's worth missing a post or two for.
Love that stone and white jetty. Gosh, how far away were you? That lighthouse is so tiny from here.
Thanks for kind words when visiting "my favourite place on earth" You have creative and stunning pictures yourself! (It is possible ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous B! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI forgive you for missing a day. lol
ReplyDeleteYour picture is amazing. It's almost as if you captured the motion of the clouds in the still shot. My mind sees them still moving. WONDERFUL!!
I had to laugh about your story, but I really like your SWF contribution. There are great lines and clouds in your picture and the colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
Just gorgeous pic and place and sky:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo dear Babooshka! Well it happens that we don't have time to publish on our blogs but you had good time with your friends, that's the important thing I believe :-)

ReplyDeleteThe "lost" days are sometimes the best!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so beautiful. Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and funny explanation! The good thing is you missed a day because you were enjoying yourself and not sick or having a family crisis.
