Day 5183
Day 5183 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. A sea fog has come in over Seahaven Springs and shows no sign of leaving. The lighthouse can be heard but not seen. Wren Gorse has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road. Posy Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:30Wren Gorse has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
02:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
07:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
07:44Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
08:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:02Whatever Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch were circling, they have landed on it.
11:00Perry Gorse noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
11:20Truman Beaumont tries it in every door on the square, politely, one at a time.
12:00It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically.
12:00The tide is out further than usual. Mabel Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
13:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Rex Callahan has been elected to deal with it.

15:00Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered.
17:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.

21:00Rex Callahan answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.

21:11Rex Callahan has done the job at The Anchor Bar properly rather than quickly.

22:21Jonah Ferris has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
22:27Perry Gorse has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
