Yesterday, I found Pascal on the beach. I grabbed my scallop and handed it over to him. He asked if I dropped a golden axe or silver axe, just like he did the first time I gave him a scallop. But this time, I chose the “Uhh…what?” option.

He gave me his photo, and then he wondered what it would be like if the ocean was filled with pepper instead of salt. 😛 I’m guessing things would be spicy.

I admit that I’m curious to see what Pascal says if you choose a silver axe, since this game apparently doesn’t have a silver axe. So I ordered yet another massage chair, so that I can eventually find out. I also want to find out if he gives duplicate golden axes.

But for now, I took the photo home to take a look at it. His quote on the back is “The more you learn, man, the less you know.”

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook had some new dialogue that I don’t think I’ve seen before. He told me that each night, he takes a lick of some sweet honey. 😂

But he said that Timmy and Tommy recently ate the entire jar! Tom Nook was so furious that he broke a vase!

They told him they were just trying to be like him because they looked up to him, and he actually bought that. So he forgave them. 😛

Today, I found a note in a bottle on the beach. It congratulated me on getting hitched. That’s news to me! 😛

Yay Day is coming up, and Samson foolishly expects me to (literally) sing his praises. Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

Goldie was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon!

Even though I played every day this week (I even accidentally played on Tuesday 😂), Big Top’s replacement has still not moved in yet. I’m sure that will happen next week though, so I’ll be back with another entry then. Have a good weekend!

Last Wednesday, Mom sent me a letter telling me about a plant that can bring happiness. A coffee plant? Nope. She said it was a corn plant, but then she enclosed a dracaena instead. That did not make me happy. 😛

I also received the massage chair that I ordered.

On the bulletin board, someone wrote a “Talking to Myself” post about being called too “right-brained” by Blathers. Normally, I tend to think these posts are written by Pelly or Phyllis, but this one seems to have been written by Celeste. Interesting.

Today (Sunday), I started up the game in the morning briefly to buy a red turnip seed from Joan. I’m trying to stay prepared for the trading sequence, until I earn all of the rewards. And with that in mind, I played again later to give Tortimer my massage chair.

In return, he gave me another scallop to give to Pascal. Even though the Bug-Off was underway (which is why Tortimer was out of his nursing home office in the first place), I did not participate.

Olivia asked me to deliver a letter to Cyrano, and I agreed to help out. But once I handed over Cyrano’s letter, he got an attitude with me.

When I returned to Olivia, she rewarded me with a fairy-tale wall.

Kid Cat has still been sick lately, so I gave him some medicine on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. By today, he was finally over his cold. He gave me a white bishop for helping out with medicine all week.

When I returned home and checked my mail, I was astonished when I saw this letter. My jaw literally dropped.

BIG TOP MOVED OUT! WITHOUT WARNING! Big Top has been one of my favorites for a long time. And he’s been here for such a long time, too. My town will turn five years old next month, and he’s been here for 4.5 of those five years! Not only am I sad to see him go, but Forest is going to feel so different without him.

I already lost Margie two months ago, and now Big Top. I believe that now makes Goldie the (current) villager who has lived here the longest, and she hasn’t even been here two years yet. That’s less than half as long as Big Top. Such is life in the Wild World/City Folk era.

Fortunately, I do still have Big Top in New Leaf. I’ll be back with another entry at some point this week, so I hope to see you then.

Out in the rain today, I listened in on an unpleasant conversation between Olivia and Goldie. Olivia was insulting Goldie, saying that she was boring!

This made sweet little Goldie start crying. Poor doggie. 🙁 Olivia is a meanie.

Wendell was in town, and I gave him a red turnip. This was the last red turnip I had, so I’ll need to buy another one soon. In return, he gave me another turban (that’s a good thing, based on what I’m trying to do).

I’ll need to give this turban to Saharah, but this time, I’ll be hoping for a red vase, not a massage chair. And speaking of the massage chair, I learned of a little shortcut: After you’ve obtained the massage chair once, you can order it from your catalog.

I ordered one tonight. It can be given to Tortimer for another scallop, which should get me Pascal’s pic next time, since I’ve already earned the golden axe. Sorry, I know this is all a bit complex and confusing. 😛

Over at town hall, Pelly was again talking about Pete and his slap mark. She wondered if he broke up with his girlfriend, and that’s why she slapped him. Sounds like wishful thinking by Pelly, in my opinion.

Pelly asked Phyllis about her theory, and Phyllis suggested staying away from Pete (who she called a fool).

Why would Phyllis have such anger towards Pete? Unless she is the ex-girlfriend that Pete supposedly just broke up with? Pelly might be right about the ex-girlfriend thing, but she clearly doesn’t suspect that Phyllis is the ex-girlfriend. Interesting. 😛

Kid Cat was still sick, so I gave him a third dose of medicine today.

Over the weekend, I posted my latest Wild World video, episode 37. I hope you enjoy it.

See you all next time!
