Day 4820

Day 4820 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wren Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCAST

What was announced

00:00Wren Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
04:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
07:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
07:02Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle no longer need a reason to call round.
07:27Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater no longer need a reason to call round.
07:27Linus Tidewater is not brilliant at practising stories worth telling, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
08:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
09:18There were not enough plates at Flo Ferris's, and nobody minded.
09:25Whatever Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan were circling, they have landed on it.
12:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
13:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
13:29A town-wide safety inspection is announced. Ewan Callahan is inspected first.
14:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
16:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
19:02Bev Tanner and Ike Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:58Ike Tidewater has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
22:05Abel Callahan has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
22:06Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Linus Tidewater onto the water. Linus Tidewater has not noticed.
22:23Cole Whitlow has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:30Fern Gorse is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:33Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Wilf Tanner onto the water. Wilf Tanner has not noticed.
