On Sunday, I found a lost item on the ground. It was a bag that featured cartoon characters. I returned it to its owner, Agent S. She rewarded me with some fishing waders.

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his five spirits for him. In return, he gave me some cork flooring.

On Tuesday, Bones told me about a letter he received from his grandma. She said he was still her special boy…which made Bones wonder if he could be replaced. 😛

Today, I posted a new video consisting of tools breaking…set to music. I know we all hate the fact that tools break, but it isn’t about complaining. It’s just a short, lighthearted video that will hopefully make you smile. 🙂

In preparation for that video, I broke about five or six tools yesterday, to get the last few clips I needed. So I found it amusing today when Tia noticed that everything I try to use has been breaking. 😛

And as soon as I left her house, I dug up today’s glowing spot and my shovel broke. Right on cue.

Tybalt was crafting today, and he taught me a DIY recipe for a jungle wall. Surprisingly, I didn’t have that one already! It’s pretty rare to get new recipes at this point.

Apollo was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him.

The instant that he took it, he said he was all better now. He rewarded me with a waistcoat.

It was raining in town, and Marina was out with an umbrella. She said she would someday like to share an umbrella with someone special. But I just liked how her thought bubble was coming out of her mouth. 😛

I delivered an item from Eloise to Apple, and then I met a few Nook Miles+ goals. After that, I wrapped up my game for the night. I’ll be back with another entry soon, though. See you next time!

As expected, The Farway Museum sent me a letter in the mail, congratulating me on completing my fish encyclopedia. They attached the DIY recipe for the golden fishing rod.

I grabbed a gold nugget out of storage and crafted the golden rod.

That earned me a whopping 5,000 Nook Miles for crafting all six golden tools and completing the Golden Milestone goals.

Surprisingly, the golden rod recipe wasn’t the only golden DIY I received today. The message bottle had a recipe for some golden flooring, and Eloise gave me a recipe for a golden toilet. I didn’t need either of those, but I thought it was interesting to get three golden DIYs in one day.

I also had some mail from Jolly Redd. He sent me my warrior statue, which turned out to be a forgery (like I figured).

After selling the leftover fish in my pockets, I had enough money to bump my bank account balance up to 30 million bells.

K.K. Slider was at the event plaza tonight (on the correct day this week 😉), and I asked for a random song. He performed K.K. Disco for me, Marina, Apple, and Louie.

After the show, I found Joey the duck camping out at the campsite. I was not interested in adopting him, but I’m okay with him hanging out here.

I’ll see you all next time!

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! 🙂
