I started out my day in my Bananas town, where the fruit trees I planted Saturday night have now matured and produced their first harvest.
I was originally going to replant all of the first harvest to make even more trees, but I decided against it this time. For one thing, Nook still has not had an axe for me to buy. So I can’t cut down existing trees to plant more. True, I could bury them anywhere, but that way I would lose some to dead spots. Planting in the same spot where an existing tree was guarantees that the tree won’t die.
Anyway, I found today’s snowballs and built a snowman in front of Nook’s. It was actually a perfect snowman this time; I haven’t been very successful at making them lately.
After finding today’s money rock and selling today’s fossils and gyroids, I found I was close to having enough money to donate for my extra bridge. So I sold a bunch of foreign fruit until I had enough, then made the donation.
After that, I was done in Bananas and returned to my main town, Forest.
I checked Crazy Redd’s shop for new items. He had a dice stereo, a perfect painting, and a gold econo-chair. No thanks.
There were no new black roses today, unfortunately. But I did run into Saharah, who was looking for old carpet.
As I started to ask my neighbors for carpet, Bob asked me for a new catchphrase. I had him say “gimme food.”
I found nine of my villagers, and not a single one had carpet for me. And I couldn’t even ask Del, because he was busy having some coffee in The Roost. It was around 5:45pm when I first found him there.
I waited until 6:00 to see if he would leave then. He didn’t. So I turned the game off and checked back after 7:00. And 8:00. Still there. After 9:00, he was in there with Phyllis. On a date perhaps??
At 10:00, Phllis left to go work her shift at town hall. But Del still remained! It shouldn’t take over four hours to drink one cup of coffee!
At this point, I gave up hope of getting any carpet out of him and ended my game. It’s disappointing to once again have Saharah in town and not get anything out of it. There are still many carpets and wallpapers that I still need from her for my checklist.
