Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the woods

Midday at the dock and woods

Kevin is at the dock continuing the plank work; Jenny is in the woods on the south slope recording soil data.

The air pressure continues to drop as the overcast sky thickens, signaling a coming shift in weather. Kevin checks the dock's integrity against the rising tide while Jenny manages the swelling in her ankle under the midday heat.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You wedge the crowbar under the next board, feeling the grain resist. The tide is slack but rising, water lapping at the pilings. The sky has gone the colour of wet slate.

Kevin — pry the fourth rotten plank from the dock with the crowbar

💭 peek at the thought

Fourth board. Then the fifth. After that the tide'll be too high to work the seaward face without wading. Need to move fast.

🔧 Kevin21:24

Kevin — lever the fifth rotten plank free and stack it with the others

💭 peek at the thought

Three boards down, two to go. Tide's pushing harder now — can feel the current against the pilings. Back's warming up. Good sign. Means the mortar work yesterday didn't seize the shoulder.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the woods

You cap the notebook and shift weight off the bad ankle, breathing through the ache. The wind pushes through the canopy, carrying the scent of wet stone and coming rain.

just one more trip, you idiot.

pack the notebook and soil sample into the waterproof bag, then limp back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't get the lime down here soon, the seeds will rot before they even take root, and my leg is melting from the inside.

Jenny — drop the bucket on the floor and submerge the ankle in the warm, salty water.

💭 peek at the thought

The salt water is going to sting like hell but it's better than the heat in the bone.
