Ohia blossom

So pretty, and it brings memories of Hawaii.

Mr José came to look at our roof today. We’ve been putting it off forever, but it’s drooping every whichway and threatening to drop tiles on someone’s head, so Something Has to be Done. After one look, he asked if we wanted an honest opinion - what could be more ominous? Without waiting for an answer, he told us we should scrap everything and start from scratch. A few measurements and much talk later, he gave us a rough price for the timbers –we should have been sitting down with a stiff whisky. We'll get the full estimate on Monday. And then, of course, we should double it, everything always costs twice as much in the end.

Ah well, at least we got an ecstatic welcome from the dogs.
