Day 1036
Day 1036 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Stan caught the early bus out. Iris Brody waved for slightly too long. Bram Tidewater was born to Flo Tidewater and Milo Ferris. Hattie Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Stan caught the early bus out. Iris Brody waved for slightly too long.
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
04:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
06:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
08:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
09:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
09:30Hal Brody has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life.
09:34Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
10:00Milo Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
11:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:27Abel Callahan and Ewan Callahan have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
12:39CLOCK MYSTERY UPDATE: Truman finds feathers, not sabotage, behind the two-minutes-fast clock.
13:00Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered.
14:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
14:00Truman Beaumont's radio caught the control room again. Milo Ferris turned the dial and talked loudly about the weather.
15:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
16:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Fern Gorse appears to be enjoying it.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
18:30Salty Gull dinner rush pauses for two: Sal and Rex share a quiet table and a suspiciously taller tale.
18:30Sal Marino and Rex Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:02Late café chat: Truman and Flo trade advice, and maybe a little courage, over lukewarm coffee.
22:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
