Day 168
Day 168 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
05:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00The morning mail has arrived. June Ellery received a mysterious postcard.
10:00A seagull has stolen Hal Brody's sandwich near the dock. Again.
11:26Flo Tidewater has finished making plans for the house, even if every corner is already spoken for.
13:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Fern Gorse appears to be enjoying it.
13:00A door that has been locked for as long as Truman Beaumont can remember was standing open this morning.
13:37Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless.
14:24Kip Doyle has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
15:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
16:00Something glinted in the hedge at eye height, tracking Truman Beaumont as he passed.
16:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
18:00Elaine Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
19:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
20:25Truman Beaumont and Dr. Cornelius Pratt kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
