evening meal prep

Kevin and Jenny return to the cottage as the sun dips below the horizon. The smell of woodsmoke rises as they prepare the stove.

Kevin and Jenny rest in the cottage as the air pressure drops, signaling an approaching storm. They eat a simple meal of boiled limpets and sea beet while preparing for the week's challenges.

Stove's drawing. You want first watch or second?

walk onto the porch and unhook the storm lantern, trim the wick, strike a match and light it

💭 peek at the thought

The wind's shifting. Can feel it in the doorway — cooler now, backing west like the barometer said. Seven days to the supply boat if it comes. Need to check the lines at midnight and 0300. The ring held today but the mortise is still rot-widened. One good surge and it walks.

First watch. I need to check the red lines again before I sleep.

Jenny sits on the kitchen stool, unwinds the bandage from her ankle, and holds it up to the light to inspect the spread of the infection.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing with every movement, but I can't let him see me wince yet.

Wake me at midnight. I'll take the 0300.

set the kettle on the stove top and pull two mugs from the shelf

💭 peek at the thought

Red lines. She's watching them like I watch the barometer. Two tablets left on the windowsill. If it tracks past the ankle by morning, we're in different territory. Should've had her stay off it more today but she was out in the pools before the tide turned.

🌿 Jenny04:46

Jenny — jenny opened her own to a fresh page and sharpened her pencil, comparing the morphology of the sea beet leaves to the sketches from earlier today.

💭 peek at the thought

If I take the first watch, I might be able to finish the sea beet sketch before he wakes up.そもそもSAY: way to go. I'll handle the radio check.
