Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Afternoon work at dock and garden

Kevin is at the dock moving recovered supplies toward the cottage; Jenny is at the garden checking the remaining seed packets on the porch screens.

The heat is a physical weight on the dock, turning the air into shimmering waves over the sand. Kevin stands by the dinghy, his muscles aching from hauling the salt-crusted crate to the cottage, while the tide sits far out, exposing the slick, kelp-strewn rocks of the tide pools.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stack the six tins of corned beef and the coffee jar in your arms, the rope coil over your shoulder. The walk to the cottage is short but the heat makes every step count. The dinghy sits at the mooring, pintles still unfitted.

Kevin — walk to the cottage with the crate contents, store tins and coffee in the pantry, coil rope on the shelf

💭 peek at the thought

Good weight. Real food. Coffee. The rope's a bonus — stern line backup or something else. Dinghy can wait one more day. Priorities.

🔧 Kevin06:41

Kevin — walk back to the dock, pick up tools, start fitting the rudder pintles on the dinghy

💭 peek at the thought

Pantry's cooler. Tins stacked, coffee jar beside the tin opener. Rope coiled neat on the high shelf. Sweat drying on my back. Still hours of light. Dinghy pintles. Yanmar test. Mooring check at slack.

🔧 Kevin06:45

Kevin — drift out the worn pintle, cut and press a bronze bush, re-drill the hole, fit the pintle proper

💭 peek at the thought

Top pintle seated. Bottom one's tight — hole's worn oval from years of slop. Need to drift it out, bush it with bronze, re-drill. Have the stock. Have the lathe. Time's the only thing short. Slack tide in two hours. Mooring lines first, then decide.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You step onto the porch where the compromised seed packets lie spread on screens. The afternoon sun hits them full. You need to judge which have dried enough to store and which need more time. The mint sprigs on the paper towel are crisp now.

🌿 Jenny06:39

Jenny — touch the seeds in the remaining packets to check for moisture and gather the dried mint sprigs.

💭 peek at the thought

God, this heat is oppressive. If they dry too fast, the seed coats might crack; too slow, and the mold returns.

🌿 Jenny06:43

Jenny — walk toward the dock to see if Kevin has finished with the crates.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is actually cramping now. I can't think straight on an empty stomach, and these seeds aren't going anywhere.

🌿 Jenny06:47

Jenny — walk back to the cottage and start a small pot of water to boil the limpets.

💭 peek at the thought

I can't keep ignoring the hunger. I'm shaking. The limpets are still sitting there, and I can't survive on air and ambition.
