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.

While diving yesterday, I found another scallop…and Pascal. This time, he was talking about the number 13…and donuts.

In exchange for the scallop, Pascal gave me another pearl. I had been saving my pearls in storage, even though I almost never actually use them. In fact, I currently have 80 of them in storage. So I decided to sell this one, and the Nooklings paid me 10,000 bells for it! Not bad!

Vivian the wolf was at the campsite, and I like her a lot. If I had an empty spot in town, I probably would have asked her to move in.

Agent S said she was impressed by the Nook Miles I’ve been racking up. She said she’s been saving up her own points to buy a recording studio, or five.

The “or five” part is a catchphrase I gave her, but it fit in perfectly there.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was out playing music in the rain. I joined Agent S, Louie, and Ketchup for a performance of Soulful K.K.

As you probably know, September is salmon season. This makes the Nook Miles+ cooking goals easier. You can create a dish (carpaccio di salmone) with just salmon; no other ingredients required! It comes in handy when those cooking goals pop up on your daily list.

I posted my latest Wi-Fi Moments video today, and it includes highlights from the three parties I attended in July and August. Check it out if you’re interested!

See you next time!

On Sunday morning, I bought 2,400 turnips from Daisy Mae, priced at 94 bells apiece. The total cost was 225,600 bells.

On Sunday night, I helped out Wisp by recovering his spirits. In return, he gave me a bottled beverage.

On Monday, I found my squirrels enjoying some nice beverages of their own on the bench at the plaza. They’re so cute.

I bought a simple small dresser and a merchandise table from Jolly Redd, since both were color variations I didn’t have in my catalog.

On Tuesday, I helped out Gullivarrr. He sent me some pirate flooring yesterday.

Today, the Nooklings were paying 131 bells for turnips. I sold enough of my turnips (1,750) to ensure a profit for the week. And I still have 700 left in case the price goes up any further.

Saharah was in town, and I found her on the beach. The odd part is that it looked like she was waving to the ocean! That was odd.

I was surprised by today’s message bottle, because it contained a D.I.Y. recipe I didn’t have yet! It’s for a gold-nugget mining car.

When I went diving for a Nook Miles+ goal, I caught a scallop. Pascal popped up and started talking about missing socks.

Even though this dialogue sounded familiar to me, it’s not the same thing that I was thinking of. Yes, that’s right, Pascal has a different bit of dialogue about missing socks (see the other one).
