Evening Briefing

Kevin and Jenny meet at the porch as the sky finally turns grey. The first heavy drops of rain hit the tin roof.

Kevin retrieved the shower pump valve from the shed and started the stove, while Jenny chose to leave tin E sealed for now. The rain continued through the afternoon as each worked separately.

Boat tomorrow. You want the valve first or the fence?

lean against the porch post, watching the rain darken the path to the dock

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's here. Boat's due tomorrow. Fence posts two and three need doing, fuel needs hauling, and the tin marked E is still sitting on the counter sealed. She hasn't mentioned it since the shrine. I'll wait for her to bring it up — or not.

The antibiotics. The fence can wait until the wind isn't howling down.

wipe mud-stained hands on a rag and look out at the half-finished garden.

💭 peek at the thought

If the boat actually comes, I need those antibiotics before the infection gets worse, but the fence is leaning dangerously in the wind.

Fine. I'll grab the valve and fire up the stove a bit, then we can bolt the posts when the wind calms. The tin… do you want me to check it before I leave? I got the spare insulator in case.

grab the Yanmar valve from the shed, start the stove at the kitchen, and check the tin E for any moisture or signs of opening.

💭 peek at the thought

She’s pushing the fence to the back burner. I still need the valve. Maybe she’s avoiding the tin. I’ll keep the radio at the ready, fingers on the bolts. Rain's settling, wind’s picking up again.

Just leave it. I'll check it when the light is better.

step back into the shadows and watch the rain start to wash the dust off the leaves.

💭 peek at the thought

If he opens it with those hands, he'll get grit in the seeds. I need to keep them dry.
