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

Midday work and radio contact

Kevin is at the spring having cleared the path; Jenny is at the cottage having eaten and re-dressed her ankle.

The humidity hangs heavy over the island under a thick, overcast heat that precedes a storm. Kevin and Jenny are at the spring, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and salt. The low tide has fully retreated, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools, as they prepare for the supply boat's arrival the following day.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the spring

You stand at the spring where the water runs clear now. The channel you cleared flows steady. You have the kettle and a bucket to bring water back to the cottage tank.

Kevin — fill kettle and bucket from the spring, then walk back to the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Tank's at 397 litres — three litres shy of full. Good haul. Kettle's light, bucket's heavy. Back's holding. Rain's easing.

Water's full. Put the kettle on.

walk to the workshop to check the Yanmar injection pump timing and fuel lines

💭 peek at the thought

Water tank topped off. Kettle on the stove. Rain's down to a drizzle. Jenny's on the sofa. Need to check the Yanmar injection pump timing before the cold sets in — fuel gels at 4°C and the barometer's still rising.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit at the kitchen table with the shortwave radio charged and the supply boat frequency ready. The heirloom trays are on the shelf beside you, the remaining seedlings upright under the cloth. Your ankle is wrapped and elevated on a stool.

Jenny — make plan: Heirloom Seed Propagation & Soil Remediation Strategy

💭 peek at the thought

I can't just wait for the boat. The soil is too acidic, the air is too heavy, and I'm barely holding onto this leg. I need a plan for the remaining seeds that doesn't involve hoping for the best.

Jenny — walk to the porch and sketch the morphology of the sea beet leaves used for the poultice.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is still holding, but the pressure is dropping. I need to check those trays before the mold takes the rest.
