Tom Nook informed me that he had a spotlight product today, and I got my hopes up. I have yet to see a painting for sale, despite unlocking spotlight products a year ago. But my hopes were again quickly dashed when I saw that a hi-fi stereo was the spotlight product.

It’s flea market day, so all the indoor villagers are trying to sell their belongings. When I entered Victoria’s house, she said that today she doesn’t even mind random people entering her house.

And when I told her I wasn’t interested in buying anything, she was not a happy camper.

Down at the Roost, I felt like asking K.K. Slider for a sad song. But that’s not an option in this game, so I let him choose the song. But somehow, it seemed like he heard my unstated request; he obliged by playing K.K. Lament.

I sold all three of today’s fossils, got bells from the money rock, harvested some fruit, and did a little fishing (catching mostly salmon). In all, I earned about 50,000 bells on the day.

The last fireworks festival of the year will be held tomorrow, although I don’t plan on attending. But still, I thought it was cute when Goldie invited me to see the fireworks with her. She said we could get lost in the “‘splodiness” together.

Antonio was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. It must’ve helped a lot, because he acted like Frankenstein’s monster being brought to life.

I listened in on a conversation between Victoria and Goldie, and Victoria said she’d love to eat a mango cream patissier…

While Goldie admitted to liking sweets, she informed Victoria that patissier is a fancy word for a pastry chef!

So Victoria eats people! You heard it here first!

Goldie gave me a free night sky tee, and I took it over to Victoria (she had asked me for new clothes). She gladly accepted the shirt and rewarded me with 520 bells.

Since this is probably the last time I’ll be playing in August, I decided to do an extended bug-hunting (and fishing) session. I found a few good catches, like a scorpion, goliath beetle, hammerhead shark, and a rainbow stag.

There was also a tarantula that got away by vanishing into the water when I backed up to get my net out. But everything else was a 2,000-bell catch or less. My play session was an hour and ten minutes total, and I only earned 80,000 bells. My summer bug-hunts typically go much better in City Folk.

But still, I put my bells into my bank account so they can earn me some interest when the new month starts. While I was at town hall though, Phyllis had some dialogue for me. She said she feels like the pits, and I wasn’t helping.

She was just upset at how Pete stands around acting perky all the time. She must prefer him to be a grouch all the time like her.

The fireworks festival is held on Saturday nights in August, and the 4th (of 5) was held tonight.

The explosions and colorful lights in the sky, along with the festive music playing, combine to make an enjoyable summer atmosphere. Goldie said watching the fireworks makes all her worries go away. Glad to hear it, Goldie!

Mayor Tortimer was outside of town hall, talking about the things he likes…including power.

He gave me a sparkler and then told me to scamper away. Wow, thanks.

There was a spotlight product at Nookington’s, but it was just a covered wagon. I bought it, but it wasn’t what I really wanted (a painting).

Antonio was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. When you have a nose that big, I’d hate to see how much comes out when you blow it. Get well soon, Antonio!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song and he played K.K. Metal for me. That’s a song that’s grown on me a lot over the years.

I did a little bug-hunting and fishing, and I earned about 50,000 bells worth of catches. But I also scored another 30k from last week’s leftover catches that were still in my pockets.

Earlier this week, I posted my latest Wild World episode. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is.

Have a great day!
