Day 5391
Day 5391 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Wren Gorse has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Dog Nobody Owns takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCASTWhat was announced
00:00Wren Gorse has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake.
03:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
07:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
08:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
09:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
09:15Whatever Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle were circling, they have landed on it.
10:00Dell Tanner called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
10:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.
10:34Rex Callahan has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it.
11:00A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried.
11:00For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing.
12:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Hal Brody has been elected to deal with it.
12:23Truman Beaumont feeds it once, which is legally binding in a town this size.
12:40Bev Tanner has turned practising stories worth telling into a real part of life.
13:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
14:00The tide is out further than usual. Flo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
14:24Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow have got into the habit of each other.
14:36Truman Beaumont and Rex Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
15:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
16:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
17:00Someone is practising the same eight bars of piano again. The town has grown fond of them.
19:00Something glinted in the hedge at eye height, tracking Truman Beaumont as he passed.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
22:00Linus Tidewater offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
22:00The Anchor's piano is being played by Gil Ferris, who cannot play piano.
22:10Somebody behind the bar has quietly moved Milo Ferris onto the water. Milo Ferris has not noticed.
22:16Ike Tidewater has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:18Jonah Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:19Perry Gorse has thanked every chair in The Anchor for its service.
22:32Abel Callahan has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
22:42Fern Gorse has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago.
