Festivale was on Monday, and all of my villagers were dressed up for the event and dancing in the streets. How cute!

Of course, Pavé the peacock was in town for the event. He wanted me to collect feathers for him, so I kept an eye out for them as I played.

I took many of my feathers back to Pavé, and he was a bit excited about them.

I traded a bunch of feathers in for a handful of Festivale items, but I eventually got tired of the slow process of redeeming them. Pavé has to do his whole routine each time, so it can really drag on. I reached a point where I just decided to put my remaining feathers in storage.

On Tuesday, Pascal compared friends to the peach crisp of life.

I saw him again yesterday, and he wondered why he sees stationary bikes, but not stationary unicycles. That’s a wheely good question.

Right at 6:00 p.m. today, four of my villagers joined me for a concert in the rain. I asked K.K. for a random song, and he played “Mountain Song” for us.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Wednesday, I returned a lost bag to Agent S. She rewarded me with a cycling shirt. Too bad it wasn’t a unicycling shirt.
• Yesterday, I played a treasure hunt game with Agent S. I won a parka undercoat.
• I helped out Gulliver, and he sent me another geisha wig.
• Today, I returned a lost item to June. She gave me a samurai hakama.
• I shot down a balloon present that had 30,000 bells in it!

I recently posted a video ranking all of my villagers in each of my Animal Crossing towns across all five games. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.

See you next week!

Last weekend, Ankha told me she’s been doing some “emotional exercises.” She did a few reactions almost simultaneously, and then she was done. It was odd.

On Monday, Mathilda the kangaroo was camping in town. She was welcome to bounce around town for the day, but I didn’t ask her to stick around any longer.

Tuesday was the unofficial start of spring. The snow has all melted, and you can get young spring bamboo for crafting now. I took a photo with my last snowman, who I built the day before. (He sent me a frozen pillar.)

Wednesday, Pascal popped up and told me some words of wisdom about “yesterday.” His line got a chuckle out of me.

Tonight, I surprised Static with a cherry smoothie…and his nose sniffed it out.

He said he’s going to save it for a time that he wants to treat himself. But he thanked me, and gave me some coveralls with arm covers.

At the plaza, K.K. Slider performed K.K. D&B for me, June, and Bones. Unfortunately, some parts of the song are a bit dull when performed live…and my villagers seemed to agree. As soon as it ended, both June and Bones got up and walked away!

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• Last Sunday, Louie was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, and he rewarded me with an ice-hockey uniform.
• On Monday, I caught a horse mackerel for June. In return, she gave me a short peacoat.
• I helped out Gullivarrr Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate wall.
• Flick was in town, but I only had six bugs for him. He gave me 28,500 bells for them.

As a reminder, Festivale is coming up on Monday! Check out my Festivale Guide for more info.

See you next time!

On Sunday, I received my letter from Katrina with my newly purchased lucky item. Unfortunately, it was another gold turtle figurine, and not one of the other lucky items. I’ll have to hope for more bad luck in the future to get the other items.

When I went out to Lottie’s island on Monday, Niko told me that Lottie wanted to see me for something. I had no idea what this was about, so I went into the office. She told me to pull out my phone, because she had a new app to send me!

It’s an app called “Room Sketch,” and it’s used to create room layouts. You can experiment with design ideas, and use them when you create a vacation home for a client.

Of course, designing rooms isn’t exactly my favorite thing. So I just made this masterpiece of a room and then saved and quit the app.

On Tuesday, I listened in on a conversation between Bob and June. Bob asked June for a book recommendation…

June’s reply was just savage.

She recommended Be the “Y” in DIY and Gyroids 2.0. But then Bob asked which book had more pictures. June said neither, so Bob said he wanted to watch the movie versions instead of reading. I guess June was right about him after all.

When I visited Ketchup, I saw that my other short peppy villager (Agent S, of course) was there too. Ketchup even acknowledged that Agent S was visiting… So when Ketchup said this, I was a bit confused…

I legitimately thought Ketchup was calling Agent S her “anchovy” as a pet name! But it turns out that she was talking about her actual anchovy, the fish.

On Wednesday, I went diving and caught a scallop. Pascal popped up and started talking about ice cream.

This is not his only quote about ice cream, either. He also had this one…as well as an octopus one that mentions ice cream cones. I think the dude likes ice cream.

Gulliver was in town, so I helped him out. The next day, he sent me another candy-skull mask.

Tonight, I found another scallop and got some more words of wisdom from Pascal. This time, he was talking about the expression “hold your horses.”

Flick was buzzing around town tonight, so I sold him 14 bugs (mostly dung beetles and Rajah Brooke’s birdwings) for a total of 56,700 bells.

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week!
