Rainy Shelter

The sound of the rain intensifies on the roof as you sit by the warm stove. The air inside is humid but the seeds are secure.

The air is heavy and humid as the flat sky thickens with cloud cover over the keeper's cottage. The barometer is falling at 1022 hPa, signaling a shift in the wet season's weather.

Kevin — pour a mug of coffee from the pot on the stove, then check the barometer reading on the wall

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's good for the tanks, bad for the sail canvas. Need dry days to finish the leech stitching. Should check the radio aerial again once this blows through — ceramic insulator from the spark plug might hold if I can shape the bracket right.

It's going under. We need to check the roof runoff for the generator.

Open the notebook and sketch the current state of the sea beet de-germination.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping fast; if this storm hits before the boat comes, the garden will be the first casualty.

Aye. Trench at the back corner. Be right back.

pull on oilskin jacket and boots, step out onto the porch into the rain

💭 peek at the thought

She's right about the runoff. Generator's the only power we've got for the radio and the water pump. If the intake floods, we're dead in the water. Need to check the diversion trench I dug last month — might be silted up.

Watch the downpipe! Don't let the leaves shift!

Stand up and walk to the window to watch him in the rain.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is already picking up. If that trench clogs, we'll lose the water tank overflow.
