On Monday, Ketchup gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a shell music box. It was one that I didn’t have yet, believe it or not!

Midge asked me to visit her house, and I don’t normally bother with these requests. But this time, I was nice and I accepted the offer.

We played a game of High Card, Low Card, and I won a plain paperboy cap from her. I stayed a couple minutes, and then as I was leaving, she gave me her photo!

Even though I’ve earned Midge’s photo before, that was the previous Midge (that lived in Forest from 2020-2021). This was the first time that this Midge gave me her photo.

Out on Lottie’s Island, there were lots of yellow-and-white flower petals falling from the sky! I’m not sure what this was all about, but I don’t remember seeing it before.

I had another good camper yesterday: Ribbot the robotic frog! It was tempting, but I ultimately chose not to kick anyone out. I wouldn’t mind having Ribbot in the future, though!

Tonight, I went diving and caught a scallop. Pascal popped up and started talking about bones and fossils.

Here are a few other quick notes about the last few days:

• Celeste gave me a large star fragment on Sunday night.
• Wisp gave me a checkout counter.
• Bob was sick with a cold on Monday, so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a rumba costume.
• I helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me another pirate outfit yesterday.

On Thursday, Mira the bunny was camping at the campsite. I liked her a lot in New Leaf, but I’m not so sure about the way she looks in HD.

Her yellow eyelashes look a bit weird, and her mouth is…diagonal? I know she looked like that in New Leaf too, but the low resolution made it less noticeable. I still like her, of course, but I didn’t kick anyone out to adopt her.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was at the plaza, warming up with a (sad) song that I liked. I wasn’t sure what song it was, though. So I just told him I was feeling blue, and he performed “Two Days Ago” for me, Punchy, and Ketchup.

Good song, but that wasn’t the one he was practicing moments earlier. I wish there was an option to tell him to play what he was just singing!

After the show, I went straight to the Roost for some coffee. But somehow, Punchy was already there!

After completing my daily tasks, I put some money into the bank. My account balance reached 68 million bells.

Good night, everybody!

On Sunday, I found some spoiled turnips in my pockets! Oops! That meant I forgot to sell those last 700 turnips from last week. Oof.

It was Rio’s birthday, so I headed up to her house for her birthday party. I gave her a water bird for her gift. It’s the one that I had in front of her house, but don’t tell her! (I later replaced it with another one.)

Ankha was also there for the celebration, which is a lot better than the “friend” she had at her party last year. Rio said today was her happiest day of the year, so I’m glad it went well for her.

On Monday, I saw Bob in Able Sisters. He asked me to pick something out for him, so I bought him some bubblegum. It’s too bad villagers won’t actually wear this, though.

I helped Gulliver out, and he sent me an alpinist hat yesterday.

Tonight, Flick was in town. I grabbed 25 bugs (most were from storage, of course), and Flick paid me 196,500 bells for them all.

With summer winding down, this was likely my last big payday from Flick for a while.

Up in the Roost, I had a deep, philosophical conversation with…Ketchup? She was talking about the importance of taking things slow. She said it helps you unwind and find your inner peace.

I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him, and he rewarded me with a sailor skirt.

And just before wrapping up my game for the night, I saw a very large fish shadow in the ocean. It didn’t have a fin, so I almost ignored it. But since it was raining, I gave it a shot…and I caught a coelacanth.
