Month: September 2021

Yesterday, Gulliver sent me my latest reward (a turban) in the mail.

I went diving to meet a Nook Miles+ goal, and I caught an octopus… So I removed the birdhouse next to Marina’s house and put the octopus there instead. 🐙 😛

Today, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground. It’s a love story, and I suspected it belonged to a “normal” personality villager. But when I asked Marina about it, she said it belonged to Eloise instead…so it’s a snooty thing after all.

I returned the book to Eloise, and she rewarded me with a tweed vest.

Jolly Redd was in town, so I checked out his selection of art for sale.

He had a real jolly painting, a fake serene painting, a perfect painting that looked real, and a warrior statue I wasn’t sure about. The warrior statue was the version that I’ve seen more often–so I think it’s most likely fake. But since I already have the two real paintings in the museum, I took a chance on the warrior statue anyway. And then I’ll know for sure which version is which.

I’ve spent hours searching for the golden trout over the past three days. And at 11:30 tonight, it finally paid off! I’ve now caught all the fish in the game, and my Critterpedia is complete! 😀

That earned me 3,000 Nook Miles for completing the Island Ichthyologist goals. I promptly donated the golden trout to the museum, and Blathers congratulated me on completing the fish section of the museum. Woohoo!

I believe I’ll be getting my golden rod recipe in the mail tomorrow, so I’ll be back with another entry then. Hope to see you then! 🙂

On Sunday night, the final fireworks festival of the year was held. I attended briefly, stopping by to get my star bopper from Isabelle and a few more goodies from Redd.

After being bumped from performing on Saturday and Sunday, K.K. Slider was finally in town for a rare Monday night show. This time, he performed K.K. Jongara for me, Agent S, and Hornsby.

Yesterday, Bones gave me a gift that reminded him of me: a peasant blouse! I guess he thinks of me as a peasant! 😮

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row for his seasports challenge. So I caught two crucian carp and a freshwater goby. I then sold C.J. a number of fish I had in my pockets for 13,000 bells, but I didn’t return home to get any more out of storage.

Today (Wednesday) is September 1st, and it marks the unofficial beginning of autumn. Acorns and pinecones will once again fall from trees that you shake. Also, the grape-harvest basket is again available through Nook Shopping.

Gulliver was in town, so I dug up the five pieces of his communicator for him. I also used the opportunity to dig up some clams for fish bait. The last fish I need, the golden trout, is now in season again, and it’s very rare. So I’ll need all the help I can get. 😛 I’ll be searching for it in the coming days (and weeks, if necessary).

I was a bit surprised to find a mermaid princess dress in the recycle box today. I don’t normally see Pascal items in here. I’m wondering if Midge recycled it before she left, because I did give her one in the past (and this is my first time checking the recycling since she moved out).

But that wasn’t the only mermaid-related curiosity: Both of today’s hot items at Nook’s Cranny were mermaid items!

Is it Mermaid Day or something? 😛

If you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to hunting for that elusive golden trout. See you all again soon! 🙂
