Day 3395
This day is still being broadcast. Its recap is written at midnight, when the town goes to sleep.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00The Bakery's flour delivery has not arrived. Kip is rationing, with the grim dignity of a man rationing something he baked himself.
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
00:29Truman Beaumont has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
01:03Sal Marino has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
07:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
08:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
08:29Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have got into the habit of each other.
09:00Marla Finch has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
10:39Mabel Tidewater has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early.
11:00The tide is out further than usual. Ewan Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind.
11:18Abel Callahan has turned sketching the shoreline into a real part of life.
11:21There were not enough plates at Bram Tidewater's, and nobody minded.
12:00Truman Beaumont has taken the seat by the window with a view of the whole room. He does not usually.
12:50Truman Beaumont organises the rows. Somebody is missing whenever the rows are ready.
13:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
14:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
16:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
18:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
