Day 4875
Day 4875 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Bram Tidewater is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Hattie Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they misjudged the last step of the Town Hall stairs. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor 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
00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
00:00Her week has been quietly rearranged so that she and Truman Beaumont no longer cross paths.
03:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
06:59Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
09:27There were not enough plates at Hal Brody's, and nobody minded.
10:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
11:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
11:53Rex has announced a talent night. The sign-up sheet fills within the hour.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
15:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
16:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
17:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
18:00Ned Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
18:00Somebody has been sent to need Truman Beaumont urgently, and to reach him before he asks anyone about a boat.
18:19Whatever Ewan Callahan and Edie Gorse were circling, they have landed on it.
18:47Abel Callahan's evening happened, ran long, and is still being talked about.
19:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
19:00Hattie Whitlow misjudged the last step of the Town Hall stairs and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:53Dell Tanner has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
21:55Wilf Tanner is conducting an imaginary orchestra near the dartboard.
22:02Edie Gorse has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
22:06Jonah Ferris offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
22:13Opal Ferris has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:14Cass Tanner has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
23:22Rex Callahan has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
