Saharah was in town yesterday, and I helped her out with some deliveries. I took some wallpaper to Mabel, some carpeting to Pelly (for Phyllis), and a carpet to Tom Nook.

Saharah rewarded me with an ancient wall, which I chose over a sandlot.

Speaking of a sandlot… I visited Dotty, and I saw that she was already trying to desert me! 😛

However, I talked her out of moving. She must be a fan of my dry sense of humor. 😉

Eloise asked me to make a delivery to Tank, so I took over the gift (a U R here shirt). Tank put it on right away, and he loved it!

Eloise rewarded me with a backyard fence.

On the bulletin board, I saw a post that announced Tank was the winner of the Flower Fest. Congrats, Tank!

Today, Lyle met me outside of my house to harass me again. I decided, for the sake of completion, to finally buy his last set of insurance. Just to be done with it, you know? First, he asked me about Crazy Redd, and he gave me the option to change the day of the week that he visits. I kept him on his Tuesday schedule, even though it doesn’t really matter any more.

He asked me some questions, including whether or not I trusted him. (No way!) He eventually got to the point: He wanted me to pay 6,000 bells for so-called damage insurance.

If I purchase a painting that turns out to be a forgery, Lyle will pay me a percentage of the damages. Of course I don’t even buy paintings any more, so it’s even more useless than it would’ve been earlier in the game. But I bought it anyway. Now hopefully he’ll leave me alone. 😛

Dotty again wanted to know my blood type, and I answered “B” this time. Just to see what she says for each option. She assumed that I’m the type that saves my money and doesn’t spend much. There’s some truth to that. 😛

She told me I need to chill out and enjoy life. 😛 And then she suggested that I let her hold onto all my money! Never!

Over at town hall, I found two items in the recycle bin: An exotic lamp and a tall lantern. It’s not very often I find anything in here, let alone two items at once! I’ll gladly take them and sell them. 😛

Have a good weekend, everyone. I’ll see you next time! 🙂

The Flower Fest is underway this week, and Drift warned me not to run on his flowers yesterday.

He said he needs to win the competition, and he actually admitted to sabotaging other people’s flowers. 😛

When I spoke with Tortimer, he just complained about how he was tired and his feet ache. I guess he must not give his normal Flower Fest spiel after a certain time of day.

While villagers will have flowers around their homes, I was surprised that Caroline actually had a purple rose! Maybe having a hybrid flower will help her win the competition?

I played again today. It was a bit earlier in the day, but still just as rainy. Octavian let me know his Flower Fest strategy, which is to scream insults at the flowers until they bloom. Yeah, I’m sure that will work.

When I visited Peanut, she panicked because she didn’t have any makeup on.

But then she tried to play it off like she doesn’t wear makeup. Then why the panic? 😛

Tortimer told me about the Flower Fest today; he will decide a winner on Sunday. I don’t get a vote.

In the meantime, he gave me a white tulip bag. As if a single white tulip would help. 😛 But I don’t plan on fixing up flowers outside of my house this year anyway.

Good luck with your flowers, if you’re participating! See you next week. 🌼

On Thursday, I got my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 54,800 bells of interest this month.

I listened in on a villager conversation, and Drift and Peanut were discussing their exercise routines. Peanut said that she does sit-ups every morning, but isn’t getting results. So Drift suggested some rump-burners and ab-squeezers.

Peanut wasn’t familiar with those exercises, so she asked Drift how they’re done. He explained the process…

But Peanut didn’t like the sound of doing those things in public.

To be fair though, Drift never said they had to be done in public. But Peanut was too hung up on the mental image of Drift’s raised rump.

They both stormed off mad, and I somehow walked into another wild conversation immediately. Eloise was telling Octavian that some guy gave her a ring (meaning an engagement ring), but it didn’t fit on her finger! Octavian said he didn’t want to hear about sappy love talk, and Eloise got really mad. 😛

Of course, Octavian wasn’t happy about being called a “weasel boy.”

What a wild couple of conversations I witnessed!

At town hall, my savings account balance reached 11 million bells.

Yesterday, Octavian wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a dab first. I wasn’t interested, especially after he called me a wimp. 😛

Today, I got this cute letter from Mom in the mail. I miss these seasonal letters from Mom (and occasionally Dad); they added so much charm to the older games! Edit: Yes, the newer games have letters from Mom too, but they seem like they only exist to distribute the “Mom” items. They don’t feel as heartfelt or genuine, in my opinion at least.

Dotty was stuck in a crossword puzzle she was working on, and she asked for my help. I told her the word was “crumble,” and that was apparently correct.

To thank me, she gave me a bunny shirt. I decided to put it on right away.

Moments later, I spotted a balloon present! That’s a rarity for me, since they don’t come later in the day when I usually play. But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get my slingshot out quick enough to shoot it down before it flew out of town.

The flea market was held today, and I decided to be nice and support my villagers for a change. So I bought an outdoor bath from Tank for 2,140 bells, and a lawn chair from Caroline for 300 bells.

I was going to buy a bug from Eloise, but she wasn’t selling any of her three insects. Bones was also home, but he was trying to move out. I quickly made him reconsider.
