Day 5188

Day 5188 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Gil Ferris. Gil Ferris 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. What Our Song Actually Is reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCAST

What was announced

00:00Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain.
05:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
07:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
08:16Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse no longer need a reason to call round.
08:55Edie Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
09:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:44Four versions are performed. All four are moving. None of them match.
12:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
13:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
13:15Wren Gorse has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
13:26Perry Gorse has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early.
14:00Ewan Callahan noticed the greetings had gone identical and improvised badly but successfully.
16:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
16:51Truman Beaumont and Bev Tanner kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
18:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
19:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
22:12Perry Gorse has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:13Bram Tidewater has begun issuing compliments in alphabetical order.
22:15The Anchor's piano is being played by Bea Callahan, who cannot play piano.
22:20Gil Ferris has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:28Cole Whitlow has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:30Opal Ferris has explained the tides three times, differently each time.
22:59Rex Callahan is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Gil Ferris and Bea Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Gil Ferris to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
