A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

Kevin and Jenny inspected the drainage trench near the garden wall during the warm rain. The soil remains too saturated for brush removal, and the water continues to pool despite their previous efforts. Jenny struggled with pain in her ankle as they moved along the slicked ground.

The water is pooling by the garden wall again.

sit on the porch steps, rubbing the swollen ankle, and watch the rain fall on the garden.

💭 peek at the thought

way ankle is throbbing and the rain won't stop. I need to eat something before I lose the strength to stand.

Check the trench, Jenny. The trench's been fine, but if the tide's less deep, it can back up. I'll set a flag at the wall.

make <plan>: check trench drainage; set marker at wall.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain's heavy, the tide's low, water's looking like it might creep back into the garden.

I'll check it after I get some food.

stand up slowly, wincing as the weight shifts, and walk into the kitchen for the tinned mackerel.

💭 peek at the thought

he's always looking at the mechanics of it, but the soil is what's turning to soup.

Leave the trench. I'll look.

walk to the garden wall with spade

💭 peek at the thought

She's moving slow. Ankle's still bad. Food first, then she'll check the trench. I'll grab the spade and see what the water's doing at the wall.
