As expected, Gulliver sent me a letter from India today. This sitar was attached to the letter.
I saw Skye on my metal bench, so I joined her for a minute.
I visited Tom’s town to grab a bingo number I needed. While I was in Tomville, he showed me his new instrument shelter. Last week, Teddy suggested one for Forest as well, but I had no intentions of getting one. But Tom let me see what it actually does. If you go up behind it and press A, it will tell you the next hour’s weather!
Naturally, this would come in very handy if you were looking for a fish that only comes out in the rain, such as a coelacanth. But it would also be great for knowing when to water flowers. There have been a number of times I’ve watered my flowers, only for it to start raining (or snowing) soon after I finished. I decided I needed this public works project too.
Tom also came to Forest for bingo numbers, and he thanked me afterwards.
Before long, I ended the party. Tia had asked me for a stringfish, but I wasn’t going to search for one all day. However, I just happened to see a huge shadow in the river, so I fished it out and it was indeed a stringfish. I knew she wasn’t going to give me her picture this early anyway, but I thought I might as well get on her good side. So I went ahead and took the stringfish to her.
She rewarded me with a lucky black cat. After I was done with all my daily Forest duties, I picked out a spot for my instrument shelter. I decided to put it behind Re-Tail, where it’s not in the way of anything, and yet easy for me to reach as I begin my daily walk around town.
I quickly paid it off and returned to town hall. It will be completed tomorrow!
A couple of my villagers mentioned that Aurora was sick, so I went up and bought some medicine for her. Hopefully she’ll start feeling better soon.
I checked one of my existing snowmen, and he rolled a #36 for me. That gave a bingo!
My prize was this curling stone:
Since it was snowing, I decided to make a snowmam today; I wanted to trade in the snowflakes that I caught. It wasn’t a perfect snowmam though, so she required five snowflakes instead of three.
As I ran around town, I kept falling on my face. It was very annoying.
So I went up to Katrina’s shop to get my fortune read.
After talking about Katie, she told me I needed a unisex accessory. I tried putting on my Majora’s Mask, but it didn’t help.
Anyway, I decided to play around with the net glitch some more. I used it to get on top of Re-Tail…
…and the police station.
Later on, Patty invited me over to her town Columbus. The main room of her house has the ice set, just like mine. We watched a little TV.
Her path is made of gold bricks from Super Mario Bros. 3! Pretty cool. In SMB3, always loved the 
We went out to the island and did a few tours, including the Easy Labyrinth Tour. I’m glad she chose the easy one, because I have trouble completing the regular one, let alone the “master” one.
We also caught some bugs and fish before returning to the mainland (and I went home soon after that). Back in my town, one of my villagers mentioned a guy on the beach. I’m glad they did, because I forgot to check down there today! Gulliver was there, and he is headed off to India. I’ll get a present from him in the mail tomorrow.
I met up with Molly later on, and she offered to trade robo furniture with me. Sure, why not?
When I worked at the cafe, I saw a new animal come in for coffee: Cherry the dog. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her before, even in pictures online!
Afterwards, I built a new snowman and he gave me a new number. I ended up with a triple ding; that means I’m one number away from a bingo in three separate ways. It’s even more rare than an actual bingo, so my bingo card is starting to resemble swiss cheese.
I bumped into Kidd, and–just like this past Friday–he offered me a painting for exactly 7,056 bells. But this time, it was a basic painting instead of a nice painting. I still don’t have a basic painting in the museum, so it was an easy decision to buy this one too.
Right behind Kidd was Tammy, who was fishing. I spoke with her and she talked about how funny it would be if a fish cast a line up on land, with a piece of pizza on it. That would be hard to resist.
I found a lost item on the ground, so I began asking my villagers if it belonged to them. I eventually found the item’s owner when I went in Tia’s house (which is looking really nice, by the way). She rewarded me with a red tie-dye tee.
I then headed up to the museum. First, I put my fishing trophy from yesterday in my trophy room.
And then I donated the basic painting; it was a real painting once again! Kidd rocks!
“The Blue Boy.” He later grew up to found the Blue Man Group.
He didn’t want to sell it because it’s like a brother to him. Okay, fine, fair enough. But then he told me I should catch my own!
Excuse me? I am the one who 
He must have a lot of brothers.
After I was done shopping, I decided to go around town taking some pictures.
Since it was a nice, mostly sunny day, I thought it would be a good time to take a bunch of wintertime pictures for
