Day 3597
Day 3597 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Leak at The Sunrise CafÉ 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
07:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
08:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
09:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
11:00The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind.
11:17A drip has appeared in the ceiling at the Sunrise Café. A bucket is deployed.
11:39Gil Ferris and Lark Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
12:27Abel Callahan and Sal Marino have got into the habit of each other.
14:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
14:16Iris Brody is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
15:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
17:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
17:58Milo Ferris and Bev Tanner have got into the habit of each other.
18:00Rain fell in a single column, precisely on Truman Beaumont, and nowhere else in Seahaven Springs.
18:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
18:37One small Seahaven question is settled, and Alma Callahan is already eyeing another.
19:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
19:30Mabel Tidewater has turned practising stories worth telling into a real part of life.
20:37Ned Ferris and Alma Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
21:48Milo Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:00Ewan Callahan called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
22:10Gil Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:38The Anchor's piano is being played by Bram Tidewater, who cannot play piano.
22:40Opal Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
