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

Midday Heat Soak

Kevin is inside the cottage while Jenny remains among the heirloom garden beds.

Kevin spends the afternoon checking the water filter mesh, noting it is becoming clogged with silt and debris. Jenny focuses on the garden, tending the tomato and basil seedlings while observing fungal issues on the pepper and lettuce cells.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You wipe your hands on your trousers and check the water level in the main tank.

🔧 Kevin17:30

Kevin — walk to the porch and scan the roof ties, checking each lashing point where the ridge beam meets the wall plates

💭 peek at the thought

Tank's holding at 394 — barely a breath down. Filter's clean now, so the next rain actually fills it instead of clogging the mesh.

🔧 Kevin17:34

Kevin — walk to the wood pile behind the cottage and start splitting kindling with the hatchet

💭 peek at the thought

Roof ties are sound — no chafe on the lashings, ridge beam solid. Weather's holding for now but the barometer's still rising slow. Should split kindling while the air's dry and the generator's happy.

Kevin — stack the split kindling in the porch box, wipe sweat from my face, and check the generator oil level through the sight glass

💭 peek at the thought

Good pile building up. Generator's been running lean and steady all morning — oil's clean, diaphragm holding. Might get the afternoon to myself before the next job finds me.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You use the watering can to carefully hydrate the tomato rows, avoiding the leaves.

🌿 Jenny17:28

Easy there, Jenny. way breathe.

Squat down low, wincing as the ankle shifts, and inspect the soil moisture around the tomato seedlings.

💭 peek at the thought

The ankle is throbbing again; if I don't get that salt soak in soon, the infection won't last the week.

way done.

major the dirt from my hands onto my trousers and stand up slowly, leaning on the garden wall for support.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is picking up; that barometer doesn't lie. I need to check the tin before it rains.

🌿 Jenny17:37

way there, way.

walk back toward the cottage, favoring my weight on the good leg.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm getting too hungry. I need to boil those limpets before I lose the strength to stand.
