Day 293
Day 293 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor 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
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
04:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:00Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
11:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
12:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
14:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
14:25Rex has announced a talent night. The sign-up sheet fills within the hour.
15:00Business is slow enough that Milo Ferris has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
16:47Flo Tidewater has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
17:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
18:00A seagull has stolen Gus Tidewater's sandwich near the dock. Again.
19:32Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:19Flo Tidewater has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:39The Anchor's piano is being played by Truman Beaumont, who cannot play piano.
