OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00A pair of swans has taken up residence on Miller's Pond, and half the town has been down to look at them and pretend they had other business.
01:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
06:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
08:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:00Mabel Tidewater fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
09:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
09:22Whatever Gil Ferris and Lark Ferris were circling, they have landed on it.
11:00Ewan Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
11:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
11:00Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.

16:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
18:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
18:47Cole Whitlow's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about.
19:00Kip Doyle twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
20:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
20:00Every car, gull and passer-by around Truman Beaumont paused at once, as though waiting for a cue.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:07The Anchor's piano is being played by Bea Callahan, who cannot play piano.
22:08Ike Tidewater is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
22:18Ned Ferris has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
