Day 1142
Day 1142 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The flour has arrived. The Bakery smells like itself again. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Edie Gorse runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
