Night meal and quiet

Rain hammers the cottage roof and windows. The wind gusts against the walls. Kevin and Jenny sit at the table with boiled limpets, coffee, and the damp notebook between them. The stove throws heat and long shadows. Outside, the tide is turning.

Jenny boiled limpets for breakfast and sketched sea beet salt glands while Kevin checked the dock mooring ring and piling shims. They shared coffee and discussed the approaching storm and dock repairs. No resources changed and no discoveries were made.

It's going to pour.

sets the pencil, closes the notebook, and stands up to take the kettle off the heat.

💭 peek at the thought
The salt is so aggressive today, but the plant just breathes it out. I wish I could the same.

Tank'll take it. Dock's the question.

Pull the notebook closer, flip to the piling rot sketches, and run a thumb over the chalk line notation.

💭 peek at the thought
Rain's good for the tank. Bad for the dock if the surge comes with it.

🌿 Jenny08:35

The bolts are holding, I need to check the shims again when the tide drops.

pours two coffees into the chipped mugs, the steam rising into the low light.

💭 peek at the thought
If the dock goes, the boat is useless, and I'm stuck here with the weeds.

North piling shim held at high water. Chalk line didn't move. South side's the one to watch — mortise took on water last surge.

Take the mug, blow across the steam, and sip. Set it down and pull the tide chart from under the radio log.

💭 peek at the thought
She's thinking like a builder now. Not just recording — deciding.

🌿 Jenny08:37

I'll reinforce the cross-beams tomorrow, if the weather holds up.

leans back, watching the rain blur the world over the dark garden.

💭 peek at the thought
The south wall is always the weak point. If that rots, the whole structure is compromised.

🔧 Kevin08:37

Weather won't hold. Barometer's falling since noon. Backing west by morning — force six, maybe seven. Cross-beams wait. Mooring ring first.

Tap the chart. Low tide 05:40. High 11:55. Slide the notebook back to center.

💭 peek at the thought
She's planning ahead. That's new. Used to be I did the planning and she did the hoping.
