Day 5337
Day 5337 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner no longer need a reason to call round. A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Box Of Left Boots Delivery reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
