Day 723

Day 723 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Marla Finch has found her weeks unaccountably full. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Edie Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Gull Grey Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

OPEN THIS DAY IN THE BROADCAST

What was announced

00:00The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly.

00:00Her week has been quietly rearranged so that she and Truman Beaumont no longer cross paths.

04:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.

08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.

10:00The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it.

10:22Truman Beaumont is strongly in favour. Flo Tidewater would like to see it in daylight.

11:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.

12:00Flo Tidewater answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud.

13:00A seagull has stolen Norma Quist's sandwich near the dock. Again.

14:00The tide is out further than usual. Milo Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.

14:33Truman Beaumont and Flo Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.

15:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.

17:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.

21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.

21:06Bev Tanner is explaining boats to anyone who will listen down at The Anchor.

22:18Flo Tidewater has begun a heartfelt speech with no clear subject.

23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox.

23:00Sheriff Brody has invited Fern Gorse to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
