Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday work and meal

Kevin is at the dock; Jenny is at the garden

Kevin drove three oak wedges into the mooring ring mortise and seated the bronze sleeve, but the wedges split and the ring still shifts under load. Jenny sketched sea beet salt gland patterns in her notebook and returned to the cottage where the seed tin sits.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are at the dock with the bronze sleeve and oak wedges ready. The spring line holds the ring steady as you prepare to drive the wedges into the mortise.

🔧 Kevin02:38

Kevin — drive the first oak wedge into the mooring ring mortise with the mallet, seating it tight against the bronze sleeve.

💭 peek at the thought

Ring's steady now with the spring line. Three oak wedges, bronze sleeve waiting. This is the last proper fix before the supply boat — if the ring fails under load, we lose the dinghy and the boat can't tie up. No room for half-measures.

🔧 Kevin02:42

Kevin — drive the second oak wedge into the mortise, opposite the first, checking the ring alignment as it seats.

💭 peek at the thought

First wedge seated. Ring's sitting truer already. Two more to drive, then the bronze sleeve goes over the lot. Tide's still falling — gives me time to check the fit before water comes back up.

🔧 Kevin02:46

Kevin — drive the third oak wedge into the last gap in the mortise, then slide the bronze sleeve over the ring and tap it home with the mallet.

💭 peek at the thought

Second wedge in. Ring's centred now, no wobble when I test it by hand. Last wedge goes in the remaining gap, then the bronze sleeve locks it all. Hands are warming up — good sign.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You are at the garden, kneeling by the western wall where the mortar has cracked. You run your finger along the edge of the gap, feeling for loose stone.

🌿 Jenny02:41

Jenny — pull the notebook from my pocket and sketch the pattern of the

💭 peek at the thought

The weight is shifting. If I don't reset these stones now, the salt pressure will blow the whole face by next season.

🌿 Jenny02:45

Jenny — wipe grit from my brow with the back of a hand and stand up, popping my knees.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is making the air move. I need to check the ankle brace before the salt ruins it.

🌿 Jenny02:49

Jenny — walk back toward the way where the seed tin sits on the table.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is growling again. I should check the limpets or just eat the corned beef.
