Day 3586
Day 3586 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Abel Callahan is not currently speaking to Bram Tidewater. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished 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
00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
00:32Ike Tidewater has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
06:54Kip Doyle has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
08:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
08:01Ewan Callahan and Edie Gorse no longer need a reason to call round.
09:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:01Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle no longer need a reason to call round.
10:00A seagull has stolen Alma Callahan's sandwich near the dock. Again.
11:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
12:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
12:00Rex Callahan and Sal Marino have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
12:31Nobody has read past chapter four, including Dot Ferris, who chose it.
14:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:17Fern Gorse and Bea Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.

18:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
19:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
20:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:54The Anchor's piano is being played by Hattie Whitlow, who cannot play piano.
22:02Linus Tidewater is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:03Iris Brody is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:05Bea Callahan is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:16Wilf Tanner has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:53Ewan Callahan is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
23:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
