Day 4964
Day 4964 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Dell Tanner and Flo Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Dell Tanner is not currently speaking to Flo Ferris. Dell Tanner 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 Box Of Left Boots Delivery reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
07:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
07:42Mabel Tidewater has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
10:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
11:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
11:25Uses are proposed for the box of left boots. Several are genuinely good. None are practical.
12:00A seagull has stolen Hattie Whitlow's sandwich near the dock. Again.
13:00A file that cannot possibly wait has been found for Truman Beaumont. It could have waited.
13:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
15:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
16:57Hal Brody and Cass Tanner postponed the matter, but neither has forgotten it.
17:00Business is slow enough that Flo Ferris has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
18:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Ike Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:30Hal Brody and Cass Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
21:47Rex Callahan has got good enough at practising stories worth telling to be quietly smug about it.
21:59Jonah Ferris has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:02Cole Whitlow has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
22:07Milo Ferris is describing a fish that grows between each telling.
22:22Ike Tidewater has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:45Flo Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Dell Tanner and Flo Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Dell Tanner to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
