Cloudy skies

The sky was great last night, not exactly sunset, just good skies, it started with this one quite early.
Then I was doing my yoyo act to keep taking pictures. Not all of them here I hasten to add.




I had some twinges from the ankle in the night and did not wake up feeling great or in a very bright mood. I had lined cake tins last night so carried on with another batch this morning. Two are Christmas cakes and the other two Simnel cakes. The square on is dairy free for my sister and niece.
It was a lovely day out, and although I thought staying in was the best thing for my ankle, getting out was the best thing for my mood! Did get a letter from the hospital before I went out and the x-ray date is next Wednesday. Waiting at the bus stop I took another picture of the sky, definitely an even more sky theme than usual today.
I had a package to send off and then I made my was to the town hall because my bus pass had stopped registering when I travel. It does run out next week anyway. Took a couple of pictures of the south bay on my way.

Also one of the castle and old town, a really clear bright day.
The bus pass issue didn't do a lot to improve  my mood, in fact it did the reverse. The town hall was empty and quite a few staff at desks. Managed to do the self log-in while they watched and then waited for over fifteen minutes to be called! Having got to talk to a person I was told that they stopped issuing bus passes a couple of weeks ago and I would have to go to the library. That is the other end of town but it is quite near the bus stop for home. So made my way there, with some difficulty. A very helpful lady, although her information wasn't much help, no bus passes being issued at all this week because they are changing the way they do it. Maybe next week!
I haven't done a great deal since I got home, have wrapped all the cakes now they are cool, just got to find somewhere to store them all now.
It got really cloudy earlier and looked like a no sunset night, but as time has gone on it has brightened up again. Just one of the earlier pictures, more to follow.

  1. You have some great cloud formations up north! I particularly like the sixth picture as it has great clouds and a lovely blue too. Definitely a cloud oriented day for you today. But with nice skies and sunny weather you have to make the most of it. And you have :-)
    What a lot of faffing about for the bus pass. I can't believe you had to sit for 15 minutes to be told they didn't do them there any more. Sounds like a punchline to a joke! You obviously weren't smiling though, and neither would I have been.
    The cakes do look good. I REALLY could eat a big slice of one of those right now, but I know it'll taste even better once it's got marzipan on it! Is that all of them done now?
    At least you've got the X-ray appointment now. Hopefully that'll show up the problem and they'll fix it........again!

  2. That sixth one is good, I don't always think to look up out of the window. I was a little peeved to have waited while they weren't seeing anyone and then being sent on my way!
    Think I may have one more cake to make, need to get the feeding under way now.
