Morning at the dock

The grey light lightens as the tide begins to turn, leaving the air thick and still.

The rain intensifies from the west, turning the morning into a grey, heavy downpour. The tide is receding rapidly, exposing the slick rocks of the southern flats while the air pressure continues to drop.

Kevin — stand at the dock edge watching the water recede, weight shifted off the bad ankle

💭 peek at the thought
Tide's turning. Water dropping slow, the rot showing itself again. My ankle knows the pressure change before the barometer does.

The humidity is too high for these. I need to get them under the porch eaves.

Stand up with a wince, clutching my ankle, and gather the seedling trays to move toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought
If I don't move these trays now, the whole batch will be mush before the supply boat even arrives.

Want a hand?

push off the piling, limping toward the cottage porch with her

💭 peek at the thought
She's favouring it same as me. Humidity's brutal on seedlings and ankles both.

Just watch the edge, the wood is slick and I'll trip.

Take the heaviest tray of sea beet seedlings and start shuffling toward the porch.

💭 peek at the thought
way's always there to offer, but he can't feel the weight of this infection.

🔧 Kevin09:07

I've got the edge.

fall in behind her, boot placement careful on the wet timber, ready to catch the tray if she slips

💭 peek at the thought
She's right — green slime on the planks where the tide sat. Stubborn as ever taking the heavy one.

🌿 Jenny09:09

Just don't let me drop them, these are barely started.

Shuffle across the remaining solid planks of the jetty, keeping the trays level against my chest to shield them from the rain.

💭 peek at the thought
He's being careful, but the ankle is throbbing with every step.
