January 2020 (Sunday) 09.00 .... No matter how often I crest the

| .... part of 'the view'. |
dunes at the bottom
of Ferry Wynd, and I’ve done it thousands of time, I always get a thrill as the
view opens when I reach the top.... it’s fantastical. No matter what the weather, sunshine or
overcast, it still gets to me: and I
take another 50 or so photos to add to the thousands I already have. This morning we have a brisk breeze, so loads
o’ fresh air about, and it’s overcast with rain mentioned for later in the
morning. The view is always there to be
enjoyed.... aye even if it does rain.
Hey I’m feeling ‘romantic’ this morning. Orf to have breakfast and a mug of my finest
Coffee Bag coffee!

10.30 It has started to spit rain but it doesn’t
look like it’s going to be overly heavy;
and it is forecast to clear away quickly with the chance of sunny spells
later in the afternoon. I am thinking
of visiting Jim before doing any work on the computer... now I’m wondering if I
need anything from the shop when in Leven? I’ll think about that on the way to Leven.
17.00 Jim was in fine form this morning ....
scoffing both the custard tarts I took in.
Grace it appears has found a new ‘boyfriend’ so I don’t need to take in
two goodies; that said, Jim scoff
manages to scoff two of them both nae bother.
I was telling him about the Fishermen’s Memorial at Pittenweem harbour
and he said “I don’t think I’ve seen that”:
which of course he hasn’t as it only went on site and was unveiled in
the summer. I’ll take in a photo next
time I visit.... which will probably be Tuesday.
After
a lit lunch I settled down to watch the football (Man City v Fulham): I fell asleep with Man City leading 2 – 0....
when I woke up it was 4 – 0... and that is how it ended. I went out in the car for a run up to
Balcarres and to fill her with fuel.
Balcarres was quiet.... it usually is on a Sunday. I actually went up to see how ‘Sarah’

(van
Veen) is but she is not yet in flower;
she’s a Magnolia tree and I expect her to burst into blossom slightly
earlier this year if the winter keeps going as it is.
19.00 Everything has been quiet on Planet Owlbert
today .... and I never did get any work done on the computer. I see that there’s a warning out for ice
roads tomorrow morning .... and the possibility of sleet/snow showers. I think the sleet/snow showers will more
likely be on the higher ground such as Balcarres etc; I am contemplating washing a couple of
jerseys tomorrow.
