Day 5162
Day 5162 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Ike Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Edie Gorse 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
01:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
07:29Cole Whitlow has kept at learning the orchard properly long enough that the town expects it now.
08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
08:05Perry Gorse has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down.
11:49A photograph is taken at last. Four people look the wrong way and it is perfect.
11:49Truman Beaumont and Marla Finch kept their word and finished what they started.
11:49And so concludes: Everybody, Slightly Left. The town will live with how it ended.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
12:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
13:00Jonah Ferris fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed.
14:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
14:16Wilf Tanner has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
15:00The tide is out further than usual. Bev Tanner has gone to look at what it left behind.
15:00Perry Gorse noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
16:00Perry Gorse answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.
18:00Ike Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning.
18:59Fern Gorse has got good enough at sketching the shoreline to be quietly smug about it.
19:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
20:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
21:49Ned Ferris is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
22:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
22:01Ike Tidewater has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:07Opal Ferris has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
22:08Ewan Callahan is describing a fish that grows between each telling.
22:14The Anchor's piano is being played by Perry Gorse, who cannot play piano.
22:16Edie Gorse has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:47Fern Gorse has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Edie Gorse to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
