Day 1040
Day 1040 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. 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
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
04:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
08:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
09:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
09:14Milo Ferris has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life.
10:00Edie Gorse has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:46Truman spotted timing clocks at the dock with a notebook — is the two-minute mystery about to crack?
11:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
12:51Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle spotted lingering over lunch — no notebooks, no mysteries, just pie.
13:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
16:00The tide is out further than usual. Fern Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
18:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
20:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
22:01Milo Ferris has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:18Edie Gorse has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
23:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
