Barbecue Bed DLC & Hamlet’s Goodbye

Yesterday was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. In New Leaf, that means the sun doesn’t come out at all the entire day! But it was already after midnight by the time I played, so I didn’t even get to see Isabelle at the event plaza. The four-person face-cutout standee was still up, though.

Lily: Hi, Jeff! Did you enjoy the Winter Solstice, zzrrbbiitt?Next, I grabbed my Welcome Amiibo cards and scanned the Vivian card. I then headed over to the drive-in campground to check out her RV.

Hanging chair: 3 MEOW coupons.And then today, Hamlet was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I made sure to say goodbye to the little guy. He sure has a lot of boxes!

Hamlet: Heh heh! As you can probably tell by looking, I'm moving out!I dropped off a Cinnamoroll sofa at Bunny’s town Tiger this evening. Her friend Emma also stopped by while I was there. Hope you enjoy the sofa, Bunny!

I tried getting ahold of Alex (and later Elliott), who had asked about adopting Hamlet, but I got no response. After four hours of waiting (in total), I gave up. In the future, please don’t ask me about a villager unless you’re serious about adopting them and you’re going to be around on the date of the move. (Unless something comes up, in which case you should let me know so I can find someone else instead of waiting all night).

I scanned another of my Amiibo cards, this one featuring Maddie the dog. Her RV is picnic themed. I like her swinging bench, although I didn’t order myself one.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new barbecue bed!As you might expect, it can not be ordered from the catalog.

Barbecue bed DLC: Not for sale.

My latest dream visitors have been Rose from Nanuél and Chloe from Melody. Thanks for stopping by! I plan on participating in Toy Day on Christmas Eve, so check back on Saturday for another entry! Hope to see you then!

UPDATE: The Hamlet story has a happy ending after all! Bunny from Tiger contacted me in the comments and agreed to take him. 🙂 So I opened up Forest and she came over to adopt him. I’m glad to see he ended up in a good home. Enjoy your new friend, Bunny! 🙂
