Day 2371
Day 2371 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Toby Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Opal Ferris. Opal Ferris is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond 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
00:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
06:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
06:54Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have got into the habit of each other.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Lark Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
09:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
09:39Hattie Whitlow has got good enough at learning the orchard properly to be quietly smug about it.
10:46The town gathers at the water's edge to watch two adults peer into reeds.
11:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
12:53Milo Ferris has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
13:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
13:49There were not enough plates at Ned Ferris's, and nobody minded.
15:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Hattie Whitlow has been elected to deal with it.
16:00Business is slow enough that Cole Whitlow has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:00Toby Tanner called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
16:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
16:36Truman Beaumont and Fern Gorse kept their word and finished what they started.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
18:00Toby Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:40Rex Callahan offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
19:53Wilf Tanner is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
20:13Bea Callahan offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
20:16Bram Tidewater has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
20:53Orson Ferris has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
21:00Commotion at The Anchor! Cole Whitlow and Opal Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
21:00Sheriff Brody has invited Opal Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
