Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the north cliffs

Afternoon chores and letter writing

Kevin is at the dock securing the dinghy and inspecting the loose mooring ring; Jenny is on the cliff path descending toward the cottage with her notebook.

Kevin used a crowbar to lift the dock mooring ring and secured a hardwood wedge into the mortise to test the repair. Jenny burned the damping-off tomato and pepper seedlings in the incinerator and checked the barometer, noting the steady pressure.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You tie off the dinghy with extra turns on the cleat, then crouch to examine the mooring ring's mortise. The ring shifts when you heave on it. You'll need the crowbar and a hardwood wedge from the workshop.

🔧 Kevin12:58

Kevin — walk to the workshop, retrieve crowbar and cut a hardwood wedge from the offcut bin

💭 peek at the thought

The ring's working itself loose faster than expected. Another week of supply boat surges and it'll pull clean out. Need to drive a wedge in tight and maybe sister a bolt through the side if the timber's still sound.

🔧 Kevin13:02

Kevin — return to the dock, wedge the crowbar under the ring base, lever it up and drive the hardwood wedge into the mortise alongside the bolt, then test the ring under weight

💭 peek at the thought

Wedge cut clean, crowbar in hand. The mortise timber feels solid when I tap it — rot hasn't taken the heart of it yet. One good drive should seat the ring proper.

🔧 Kevin13:06

Kevin — wipe hands on trousers, walk back toward the cottage to check the seedling trays on the porch

💭 peek at the thought

Wedge seated tight. Ring doesn't shift when I hang my full weight on it. That'll hold the supply boat. Should still sister a bolt through the side come calm weather, but it's sound for now.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You pick your way down the wet basalt steps, notebook safe in your pocket. The garden tarp flaps in the freshening breeze — one corner's come loose again. You'll burn the diseased seedlings first, then check the barometer before the supply boat's due.

🌿 Jenny12:56

Jenny — walk from the north cliffs back to the cottage garden.

💭 peek at the thought

That damn tarp. If it rips, the humidity will just invite more fungus back into the healthy trays. I need to eat something soon or I'm going to shake.

🌿 Jenny13:00

Jenny — burn the bagged diseased seedlings in the incinerator, then walk inside to check the barometer.

💭 peek at the thought

The smell of burning peat and rot. It's a small mercy, cleaning the slate. Now, the barometer—I need to know if the weather is actually holding for the boat.

🌿 Jenny13:04

Jenny — read the barometer, then walk to the kitchen to find something to eat.

💭 peek at the thought

1014 hPa. Steady. The air feels heavy, but the glass isn't lying yet. I can't keep ignoring the hunger; I'm starting to see spots.
