Day 5031
Day 5031 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. [CONTROL] Wilf Tanner has been flagged. She has started to find it difficult, and she is close enough to Truman Beaumont for that to matter. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Gil Ferris is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Greengage Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
