Day 2243

Day 2243 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Bram Tidewater is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Sandcastle Regatta Approaches has the whole town talking. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCAST

What was announced

00:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

07:59keeping a notebook about the pond has stopped being something Bram Tidewater is trying, and become something they do.

09:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.

11:00Jonah Ferris has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.

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.

12:13A box of festival bunting has vanished, and the committee is in a very polite panic.

13:00Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.

14:00Wilf Tanner noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.

15:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.

17:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.

18:00The tide is out further than usual. Lark Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.

18:01Abel Callahan has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now.

20:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.

21:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

21:13Truman Beaumont and Toby Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.

22:04The Anchor's piano is being played by Orson Ferris, who cannot play piano.

22:08Abel Callahan has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.

23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Bram Tidewater and Opal Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a disputed game of dominoes.
