Day 4566
Day 4566 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Gil Ferris and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Gil Ferris is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Gil Ferris is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Promenade 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 lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
07:00Dot Ferris has kept at practising stories worth telling long enough that the town expects it now.
07:59Jonah Ferris has got good enough at sketching the shoreline to be quietly smug about it.
08:00The tide is out further than usual. Perry Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind.
09:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
11:00Cole Whitlow has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.
12:29Truman Beaumont thinks the new position is better. Dell Tanner thinks this is a betrayal.
14:25Ike Tidewater's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about.
15:00Nothing whatsoever is happening in Seahaven Springs. Alma Callahan appears to be enjoying it.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
17:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
18:34Cole Whitlow has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
20:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
20:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
20:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
21:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
22:09Cass Tanner is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:12Ike Tidewater has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:17Wilf Tanner is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
22:21Opal Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:23Iris Brody is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:33Cole Whitlow has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:36The Anchor's piano is being played by Bram Tidewater, who cannot play piano.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Gil Ferris and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy".
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Gil Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
