Day 2828
Day 2828 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fern Gorse is in Seahaven General after they went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once. Bea Callahan is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Bev Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00The Bakery's flour delivery has not arrived. Kip is rationing, with the grim dignity of a man rationing something he baked himself.
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
04:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
07:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Perry Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
09:28sketching the shoreline has stopped being something Bea Callahan is trying, and become something they do.
10:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Bev Tanner has been elected to deal with it.
11:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
12:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:53Toby Tanner asks around. Every answer contradicts the last one.
13:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
13:00Fern Gorse went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
14:00Edie Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
14:36Abel Callahan has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
15:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:58Opal Ferris and Wilf Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
