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

Midday work at garden and cliffs

Kevin is in the garden with the new fork; Jenny is on the north cliffs with her notebook.

Kevin tested the Yanmar engine under load and found it performed solidly. Jenny returned from the cliffs and spent time attempting to repair the radio insulator. A coconut crab visited the garden, leaving a trail of destruction.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You stand in the garden bed, the new fork heavy in your hands. The soil turns clean and deep, the lime beds holding at 6.8 pH. Tomato stakes are firm, shade cloth taut. You work a row, feeling the tool's balance.

Kevin — work the next row of the garden bed with the new spruce fork, turning soil around the tomato plants.

💭 peek at the thought

The fork bites right. Good steel, good grain. Feels like an extension of the arm. Rare to make something that just works the first time.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, rinse the fork, and head down to the dock to test the Yanmar engine under load in the dinghy.

💭 peek at the thought

The rows are even now. Soil loose, weeds pulled. The fork did its job. Time to check on the dinghy before the wind picks up.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You kneel at the upper transect point, test strip in hand. The soil here is thin over basalt, wind-scoured. You dip the strip, wait for the colour shift, and log it against the sea beet data. The barometer's rise holds steady.

Jenny — write "pH 5.6" in the notebook next to the north ridge transect sketch.

💭 peek at the thought

The pH is too low for anything delicate, but the sea beet is stubborn. It thrives on the salt and the rot.

Time to go back.

pack the notebook and test kit into the bag and begin the walk back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to growl. I've spent enough time up here for one day; the wind is getting aggressive.
