Day 4570
Day 4570 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. The tide is out further than usual. Edie Gorse has gone to look at what it left behind. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
10:37Somebody hums something at The Anchor and half the room joins in with other words.
12:00The same passer-by has now walked past Truman Beaumont three times on the same route.
13:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:45Flo Ferris and Hattie Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
16:49Abel Callahan has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now.
17:00A door that has been locked for as long as Truman Beaumont can remember was standing open this morning.
17:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
18:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
19:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:45Hal Brody has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
22:06Linus Tidewater is teaching the room a song that appears to have no chorus.
22:16Milo Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:17Cole Whitlow offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
23:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
