Just arrived from my favourite coffee shop. Sterling Coffee Roasters use to be our local coffee shop when we lived in Portland.

Searching a cupboard for some honey, I came across this jar of Marmite. Joy! I haven’t had any for a long time. I know what breakfast will include tomorrow.
Sand Blasted on an Evening Walk
The trade winds having being blowing very strong over the last couple of days, and an evening stroll along Baldwin Beach was a real challenge yesterday evening. Sand blasted there and back. Winded on the way back.
This guy seemed unperturbed by the weather, dozing soundly on the shoreline.
Raising a tent in the back garden
I spent a few hours this morning, under baking hot sun, putting this tent up for my grandson.
Now it’s up, the tent’s construction looks quite simple. However, it was heavy and had very poor instructions. I ended up resorting to YouTube for a clearer understanding of the what and how it went together.
I have now handed over to grandma to furnish the inside.

Friday evening sunset from Ho’okipa. A beautiful evening. Warm, the ocean refreshing, and a family member taking guests out for surfing lessons. There was a real end-of-the-week atmosphere there, with everyone having a grandstand view of the setting sun.
Although it has recently re-opened, I have not been in this theatre for at least 18 months. It might be close to two years. What a time we have collectively been through.
Plants and flowers in the garden early this morning. The white flower on the left is a Spanish Dagger, of the Yucca family. The purple flowers on the right are Agapanthus.
Looking up to a sliver of a New Moon with Venus just to the left and up a bit (south west?) of it. You might be able to make them out in the photo?
If you look carefully at this photograph, on the horizon you can see a mountain rising up above the clouds. That is Mauna Kea on the island of Hawai’i. The photo is taken from across the Alenuihaha Channel on Hamoa Beach in Hana, Maui. I don’t often find it this clear.
