Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Midday Work and Discovery

Kevin is at the dock, Jenny is at the keeper's cottage.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand on the dock, feeling the oak wedges and bronze sleeve for any slippage as the tide climbs. You note the ring’s slight movement but confirm it remains secure for the day.

🔧 Kevin06:08

Kevin — walk back toward the cottage, checking the garden tarp corners as I pass

💭 peek at the thought

Ring's holding. Oak wedges and bronze sleeve did their job. Rot's still creeping up the north piling though — another season and that shim won't be enough. Need to sister that piling proper before winter.

🔧 Kevin06:12

Kevin — climb the steps to the cottage porch, wipe boots on the mat, push the door open

💭 peek at the thought

Tarp's still battened down. Tomatoes look good. Peppers and lettuce took a hit from the damping-off but the basil and most tomatoes are clean. Jenny's ankle — she's not limping as bad today. Antibiotics working.

🔧 Kevin06:16

Smells good.

hang the oilskin on the peg, pull out the chair opposite her, sit down

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen smells of boiled limpet and corned beef fat. Jenny's at the table with the seed tin, back to the window. Radio's quiet on the shelf. Barometer steady. Letter to Tom still in my pack by the door.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You clear the pantry of the rat, sealing the entry point. You then finish the sea beet salt gland sketches, adding details of crystal formation for your notes.

🌿 Jenny06:11

There you go, little stubborn thing.

Eat the boiled limpets with a pinch of salt while watching the barometer drop.

💭 peek at the thought

One seed is finally in the dirt. If the soil is too acidic, at least I know why it failed.

🌿 Jenny06:15

Jenny — way the salt water from the table and walk toward the north piling.

💭 peek at the thought

The light is changing. I need to check that shim again before the tide gets too high.

🌿 Jenny06:19

Jenny — kneel on the damp sand and run a hand along the north piling shim.

💭 peek at the thought

The wood is groaning louder today. I need to see if the shim is actually holding.
