Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday tasks split

Kevin is at the dock finishing the Yanmar fuel line replacement and checking the generator oil; Jenny is at the garden securing shade cloth and culling damping-off seedlings.

Kevin collected a bucket of limpets from the tide pools at low water and returned to the cottage. Jenny inventoried seed tin E, checked the soil pH log, and mapped the garden soil zones with pH markers, noting lime beds at 6.8–7.0 and untreated areas at 5.5–5.8.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You wipe your hands on a rag, the new fuel line installed and primed. The generator shed door is open; you dip the stick — oil level sits mid-mark, clean. You top up a splash from the drum anyway, wipe the cap seal. The Yanmar waits, ready for a test run once the tide drops and you can clear the prop.

Kevin — walk to the tide pools with a bucket

💭 peek at the thought

Generator oil clean, Yanmar fuel line done. Two jobs crossed off before noon. Tide's still falling — another hour before the prop clears the bottom clean. Could walk the tide pools now, pull limpets while the water's low. Or sit here and do nothing for five minutes. The radio's quiet. The sky's holding.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage with the bucket of limpets

💭 peek at the thought

Bucket's half full. Big limpets on the shaded verticals, just like always. Back's complaining from the crouch. Tide's turned — water creeping up the lower shelves. Time to head back.

🔧 Kevin22:31

Kevin — ladle limpets into a bowl, set it on the table with a fork

💭 peek at the thought

Pot's on the stove, limpets boiling. Smell of brine and steam in the kitchen. Jenny's at the garden — saw her through the window, trowel in hand, moving slow but steady on the ankle. Radio's quiet on the hook. Barometer still rising. Good day so far.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You settle on the garden stool, the seed tin E on your lap, lid off. The heirloom packets are dry, re-wrapped in newspaper with fresh desiccant. You count: tomato, pepper, sea beet, potato — all viable. The compromised basil and tomato packets are bagged for burning. You jot the tally in your notebook, the pencil scratching damp paper.

Jenny — make inventory: seed tin E count

💭 peek at the thought

The seeds are still viable - that matters more than anything. I can plant them tomorrow if the soil holds.

Jenny — check soil pH log

💭 peek at the thought

The soil pH around the garden is still too low for these heirloom seeds - I need to amend it properly.

Jenny — make map: garden soil zones with pH markers </think>THOUGHT: I should mark this soil condition clearly - the lime beds are progressing, but I need to document the exact locations. make map: garden soil zones with pH markers
