Day 945
Day 945 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Marla Finch has been elected to deal with it. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

20:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
22:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
23:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
