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

Midday Humidity Stagnation

Kevin is at the garden; Jenny is at the cottage.

Kevin worked on the garden wall and the generator in the humid afternoon heat. Jenny stayed at the cottage organizing seeds and preparing food. The air pressure continues to drop, signaling more rain ahead.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You wipe sweat from your brow, looking at the wall that refuses to set in the relentless damp.

🔧 Kevin16:18

Kevin — set down the block, straighten slow, press the heel of my hand into the small of my back

💭 peek at the thought

Mortar's useless in this damp. Should've gone dry-stone from the start — soil core, tight faces, let it breathe. Back's telling me the same.

🔧 Kevin16:22

Kevin — walk to the cottage, grab the tool roll, head for the generator shed

💭 peek at the thought

Wall can wait. Generator's the real problem — fuel's still suspect and I'm running on luck. Sextant test needs sun anyway.

🔧 Kevin16:26

Kevin — crack the generator housing, pull the carb, inspect the diaphragm with a fingertip

💭 peek at the thought

Carburettor bowl had water in it last week. Drained it, ran clean fuel through, but the diaphragm's perished — seen the weep at the gasket. Need to swap it before the next run.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You move the viable seeds to the driest corner of the cottage, hoping the air circulation is enough.

🌿 Jenny16:20

Jenny — move the tomato and pepper seeds to the high shelf in the bedroom, tucked behind the dry canvas rolls.

💭 peek at the thought

The humidity is a parasite. If I leave these here, the mold will find them by morning. I need to keep them elevated, away from the stone walls.

🌿 Jenny16:24

Jenny — walk into the kitchen and set a pot of water on the wood stove to cook the sea beet and limpets.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to knot. The limpets and sea beet are just sitting there, and the air feels like it's waiting for something to break.

🌿 Jenny16:28

Jenny — stir the pot of sea beet and limpets, then dish them into two bowls.

💭 peek at the thought

The smell of the sea beet is strong—sharp and briny. I can't shake this feeling of heaviness, like the island is holding its breath.
