Day 5250
Day 5250 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bea Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch no longer need a reason to call round. 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.

11:46Bram Tidewater has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do.
12:00Kip Doyle has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar.

13:32Four versions are performed. All four are moving. None of them match.
14:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.

16:44Elaine Whitlow and Flo Ferris kept their word and finished what they started.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.

19:00A face Truman Beaumont last saw years ago walked by wearing a different coat and a different life.
20:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
21:00Truman Beaumont's radio caught the control room again. Ewan Callahan turned the dial and talked loudly about the weather.
21:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
