OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00A baby has arrived in Seahaven Springs! Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater would like you to meet Rue Callahan.
00:00The Bakery's flour delivery has not arrived. Kip is rationing, with the grim dignity of a man rationing something he baked himself.
01:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
07:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:00Milo Ferris called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
10:00Orson Ferris noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
11:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
12:00Orson Ferris answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
12:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
13:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
15:00Business is slow enough that Marla Finch has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
15:00Theories multiply at the café. Bev Tanner starts a suspect list.
16:14Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Lark Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
20:16Orson Ferris and Truman Beaumont kept their word and finished what they started.
20:19Bea Callahan has finished a small improvement at Town Hall, and people noticed.
22:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
22:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
22:21Hattie Whitlow offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
22:24Jonah Ferris is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:27Milo Ferris has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
22:30Bea Callahan has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:42The Anchor's piano is being played by Abel Callahan, who cannot play piano.
