Day 3497
Day 3497 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow no longer need a reason to call round. Flo Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
04:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
09:28Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow no longer need a reason to call round.
10:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
11:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
11:34Milo Ferris asks around. Every answer contradicts the last one.
12:46Kip Doyle has kept at learning the orchard properly long enough that the town expects it now.
15:00The tide is out further than usual. Abel Callahan has gone to look at what it left behind.
17:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
19:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:32There were not enough plates at Perry Gorse's, and nobody minded.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:11Sal Marino and Wilf Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
22:11Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Wilf Tanner onto the water. Wilf Tanner has not noticed.
22:18Hattie Whitlow offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
22:22Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Perry Gorse onto the water. Perry Gorse has not noticed.
22:24Linus Tidewater has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
