May Day Maze 2023

Yesterday, Tammy the bear cub was camping at the campsite. But I was not interested in the GameCub. (Sorry, that’s the catchphrase I gave her when I had her in New Leaf.) 😛

Tammy, at the campsite: I kinda came out here on a lark, but this place seriously rocks. I'm in love, ya heard!

Today, I found my two pink villagers hanging out together: Midge was visiting Marina’s house! In the spot where Midge’s house used to sit! I was afraid things might get awkward!

But fortunately, they’re getting along well. Probably because Midge’s memory has been wiped clean. Uh, I mean, because this is a different Midge. 😛

At the plaza, I told K.K. Slider I was feeling a little grumpy. He performed Surfin’ K.K. to try to cheer me up. Louie, Ankha, and Rio were also at the show.

After the show, I went to the airport to check out the May Day tour. It’s the same maze that we had in 2021, which is trickier than the 2020/2022 map.

I actually messed up two or three times and had to restart. There’s a lot of backtracking involved, and it’s easy to use up a fruit (or a worn axe) in the wrong place. But I eventually completed the maze, picked up all the bell vouchers, and met up with Rover.

Rover: And for what it's worth, you've made me happy. I'm glad we ran into each other like this.

Good luck with the maze, everyone! And enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂

You Can’t Fish There

Last weekend, I gave Sam some materials he needed to make his latest obstacle course. And he beat me both times when we gave it a test run.

On Saturday night, I joined the girls for a K.K. Slider concert. K.K. performed K.K. Milonga for me, Midge, Marina, Ketchup, and Ankha.

That’s not all of my female villagers though; Agent S and Rio weren’t at the show. Since Midge moved in, I now have six girls and four guys. Usually it’s the other way around. 😛

On Monday, I visited Static while he also had Ankha over. He said she showed up, so he bolted. 😆

Static: This is turnin' into a regular party! Ankha just showed up too, so I bolted.

Flick was in town, and I sold him 90k worth of bugs.

Tuesday, the Nooklings were paying 321 bells for turnips. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy any turnips this week. But I did get my free ones from the hospital, so I turned them into an easy 32k! Xavier came over to sell turnips, and he became the first person to see my hyacinth pond in person. I haven’t had visitors in quite a while. 😛

Ankha was trying to fish in the tiny stream that’s only one space wide. Fish never show up there! She was getting frustrated, but it was her own fault. 😛

Today, Midge told me that she never really liked Thursdays. It’s because she had gym class every Thursday when she was back in school, and she hated gym.

Midge: I've never really liked Thursdays...

She must not like to exercise; maybe that’s why we never see her flying. 😉

Wisp was in town tonight, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a windbreaker.

Midge’s House, Punchy’s Burp

On Tuesday, I got a look at the inside of Midge’s house now that she’s unpacked. It looks nice, although it’s surprisingly yellow.

Midge: I've been having trouble deciding what book I should read from the growing pile that I keep adding to.

The interior sure looks a lot different than it did before.

Ankha mentioned that I found a lot of fossils the previous day, and she asked if I took them to Blathers. She said Blathers likes to ramble on about musty old things. Hmm, I wonder what Blathers would say about Ankha? 😉

Ankha: He does have a tendency to ramble... Still, it's exciting to hear what he has to say about the musty old things.

Rio told me about a prize she got in a box of crackers. She said it was a miniature soccer rule book, which she didn’t want to open because it would lose its value. 😛 And also, because she doesn’t “do” soccer. âš½

Rio: Plus, I don't do soccer.
Aren’t you from Brazil though?

On Wednesday, Static started working at Able Sisters! Or at least, that’s what it looked like. 😉

Label was in town today, and Punchy said he was too shy to say anything to her, because he was afraid he might burp. But that seemingly silly fear wasn’t as unfounded as it sounded…

Punchy: I was right too! I burped so loud, I scared myself!

Speaking of Label, she wanted to see me in a party outfit. She gave me a space parka as an example of what to wear. A space parka? 🤔

Label: As you can see, it's a space parka with quite the party flair.

But I put it on and added some spangle shorts, a birthday hat, and some birthday shades.

My party outfit.

It wasn’t my finest fashion moment, but it did the trick. Label was very happy with the outfit, and she rewarded me with some Labelle tights (that I’ll never wear.) 😛

A few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Tuesday, Wisp gave me some camo pants.
  • My savings balance reached 56 million bells on Wednesday.
  • Gullivarrr sent me a pirate-treasure robe yesterday.

Have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂
