Day 1791
Day 1791 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Dot Ferris is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
09:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:16The Square's bench is home at last — four days, two coats of varnish, and one very proud salesman.
11:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
12:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
13:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
15:00Business is slow enough that Truman Beaumont has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:00The tide is out further than usual. Iris Brody has gone to look at what it left behind.
17:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
18:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
19:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:35Hal Brody is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
22:10Bea Callahan has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
22:17Edie Gorse is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
22:23Cole Whitlow is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:28Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Opal Ferris onto the water. Opal Ferris has not noticed.
