OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
07:21Bea Callahan has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
07:21Linus Tidewater has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
08:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
09:00The morning mail has arrived. Bea Callahan received a mysterious postcard.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
11:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
12:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
12:20Sample patches appear. One wall now carries six shades of nearly the same colour.
13:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
13:57Edie Gorse's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches.
14:51Truman Beaumont and Wilf Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
15:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Dot Ferris has been elected to deal with it.

16:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
17:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
18:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
18:43Ewan Callahan has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
21:28Hal Brody has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:11Cole Whitlow has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:15Gil Ferris is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:17Abel Callahan is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
