Day 2924
Day 2924 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Lark Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. 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. The Harbour Blue Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Lark Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake.
00:00Abel Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00The town clock has stopped at twenty past four. Nobody can agree on when it happened, which is itself a problem of some irony.
07:19Hal Brody has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
07:29Whatever Mabel Tidewater and Cole Whitlow were circling, they have landed on it.
08:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
09:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
09:30Gil Ferris has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
09:32Kip Doyle has done the job at The Bakery properly rather than quickly.
10:00Bram Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
10:00Hal Brody has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation.
11:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
11:56Something in town needs repainting, and harbour blue has been proposed.
13:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
14:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
15:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
15:00Wilf Tanner fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
16:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
17:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00Friday evening has begun at The Anchor. Rex is polishing the good glasses.
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.
19:43Rex Callahan has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
20:04The Anchor's piano is being played by Bev Tanner, who cannot play piano.
20:10Dot Ferris has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
20:10Ewan Callahan has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
20:57Toby Tanner and Orson Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:20Edie Gorse has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
21:27Fern Gorse's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about.
22:04Wilf Tanner is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
22:24The Anchor's piano is being played by Ned Ferris, who cannot play piano.
23:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
