Day 1710
Day 1710 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Milo Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Sheriff's office spotted plotting lawn chairs, not lawbreakers. Milo Ferris, fresh out of Seahaven General, seen repaying kindness one cocoa at a time. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Milo Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
07:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
08:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
10:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
11:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:05Sal Marino has got good enough at sketching the shoreline to be quietly smug about it.
12:00The tide is out further than usual. Linus Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
12:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
12:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
12:35Bev Tanner's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches.
13:05Truman Beaumont seen consulting the town's resident philosopher-gardener over tea and rain.
15:33Sheriff's office spotted plotting lawn chairs, not lawbreakers.
16:00Toby Tanner called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
17:43Milo Ferris, fresh out of Seahaven General, seen repaying kindness one cocoa at a time.
17:43Hal Brody and Bev Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
20:20Fern Gorse and Elaine Whitlow have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
21:28Opal Ferris is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
21:51Hattie Whitlow has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:06Iris Brody is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:14Abel Callahan has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
22:19Bram Tidewater is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:30Linus Tidewater is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
