Day 2923
Day 2923 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Abel Callahan has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Wren Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. 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
08:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
09:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Dell Tanner has been elected to deal with it.
09:00Dell Tanner fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
10:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
10:47Iris Brody has hosted the thing they kept meaning to host.
11:00The morning mail has arrived. Hal Brody received a mysterious postcard.
11:00Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning.
11:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
11:01Rex Callahan has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
12:41Both fish pies stay on the menu. Everyone claims this was their idea.
12:41Truman Beaumont and Opal Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
12:41And so concludes: The Fish Pie Question. The town will live with how it ended.
13:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
13:00Opal Ferris nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough.
15:00Abel Callahan has come down with a headache that has outstayed its welcome and is being kept in for observation.
17:00Business is slow enough that Cole Whitlow has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
18:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Elaine Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:56Fern Gorse and Edie Gorse kept their word and finished what they started.
21:54Perry Gorse is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
21:59Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Dell Tanner onto the water. Dell Tanner has not noticed.
22:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
22:10Toby Tanner has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
22:13Gil Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
