How Many Honeybees?

When I visited Punchy today, I was a bit surprised by how he referred to his house.

Punchy: Are you here to hang out, dumbbell? Well, you've come to the right place, in jail!
You’re free to leave your house, Inmate #2.

He was using a catchphrase I gave him a few weeks back. I just had temporarily forgotten about it. 😛

Antonio had a honeybee on his mind, and he asked me to catch one for him.

Antonio: So, dumbbell! Go grab me a honeybee!

It was daytime, so they were still out and about. I didn’t have too much trouble tracking one down.

I caught a honeybee! Hey there, sweetie!

I took it back to Antonio, and he rewarded me with an opulent rug. It was nice doing bzzz-ness with him.

I also ran into Rosie while on my walk. She told me that she loves walking more than anything else…except stew. 🍲

Rosie: I love walking more than ANYTHING, silly! Except stew. Mmmm... Stew.

I saved my game for the afternoon, but I played again tonight. I was on my way to the Roost when I ran into Antonio. You’ll never guess what he wanted this time!

Antonio: go out there and snag a honeybee for me!
Come on, man! You’re bee-ing greedy!

Another honeybee?! On the same day that I already caught one for him? I don’t know if I’ve seen this happen before, where someone asks for the same exact thing I already got for them in the same day! Crazy! At any rate, I declined the request this time (mainly because they’re not out at nighttime). Sorry, Ant-Man. One honeybee request per day is my limit. 😛

He was sad that I turned down his request. But he did have one bug already with him: a flea. I caught it for him, and that instantly cheered him up. He called me “Dumbbell the Itch Slayer” as he exuded joy.

Antonio: Yesss! From now on, I should call you dumbbell the Itch Slayer!

But as soon as the conversation ended, he went back to being depressed. 😛

Once I got to the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed K.K. Salsa for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Salsa.

After the show, I danced my way back to the shop and town hall before ending my game for the night.

Rain, Rosie, Rugs

It was a rainy day in town today, and most of my villagers were complaining about it. Monty, though, complained that I looked happy despite the rain.

Monty: How can you look so happy in this nasty weather? Yup... I always knew you were a strange one.

I found a new house near my northwest bridge. (It’s not the spot where Tom lived, but it’s just a bit south of there.) That means that Ed’s replacement has moved in, so I quickly went inside. I was quite happy to meet my newest neighbor!

Rosie: Well, I'm Rosie, and I'm the newest resident of your awesome town!

It’s Rosie the cat! She lived in Forest back in 2011, but I also had her in Wild World from 2018-2020. I like her a lot, so I’m glad to have her around once again! 🙂

Big Top asked me to make a delivery to Mint, and I agreed to help out. The gift was a cabin rug, and I didn’t think much of it at first.

Mint: Oh! It's a cabin rug!

When I returned to Big Top, however, I had to do a double take. His reward for me was also a cabin rug!

Big Top: Oh, that's right... to thank you, I want to give you a cabin rug!

How many cabin rugs does this guy have? 😆

Over at town hall, I found two furniture items in the recycle bin this afternoon: a deluxe range and a pine chair.

I played again this evening, mainly to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Calypso” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Calypso.
K.K. looked tired or something in this screenshot. 😪

After the show, I decided to shake some trees. I found both of today’s furniture items: a wheat field and a blue wardrobe. But more importantly, I encountered five bees and I caught them all! Going 5-for-5 is very unusual for me in this game, but I felt like a pro, for the day at least. 😆🐝

I caught a bee! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

Marina’s Squid

I played on Sunday, and I received a cute letter from Mint in the mail. It was about the game of hide-and-seek that we played last week.

To Jeff, Thanks for playing hide-and-seek with us earlier. It's nice to just play like a kid sometimes, isn't it? -From: Mint

She sent me a metal guitar as my prize for winning the game.

It was Easter Sunday (aka Bunny Day), so I had a chat with the one-and-only Zipper T. Bunny.

Zipper: boingity boing! Hello there!

I dug up all the bunny eggs I could find. Some had candy inside, and others had bunny foils. I found 11 of the 12 bunny foils, and I redeemed them for egg furniture. (I didn’t worry about the one I missed.) I sold the 11 items for a total of 98,888 bells. 💰

But Antonio was more concerned with the rain, and the mud it was creating. He apparently wanted to wrestle someone in the mud!

Antonio: It's getting nice and muddy around here! Now, if someone would volunteer to let me tackle them in it...

Today, I received a goodbye letter in the mail from the horse that recently depart-Ed.

Yo, Jeff, This is it, my last day in Forest! Living here made me realize just how burly I really am. Tell everyone thanks for being so scrawny!

Robin was feeling sick…and unpretty. I gave her a dose of medicine to help with the cold. As for being unpretty, she’s on her own there.

Robin: P-p-please. never felt so... unpretty. Qu-qu-quickly...

Monty told me that he recently visited Nana, and he said she’s quite a good cook! He particularly loved the garlic bread that was drowned in green onion(s)? I’m not sure about the onions, but whatever floats your garlic bread, man.

Monty: The garlic bread I had was just drowned in green onion. What a taste sensation, monk monk!

Marina surprised me by asking me for a squid! Was she looking for a new cousin? It took me way too long to track one town, but I did track one down eventually.

Marina: Oh! A squid!

She only rewarded me with 528 bells, but I guess it was okay. Because during my search, I also caught a few barred knifejaws and red snappers, which are worth a few thousand bells apiece.

Later on, I went up to the Roost for K.K.’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Country” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Country.

Since the fish I caught earlier got me close to a new savings milestone, I gathered up a few loads of fruit to add to it. My balance has now reached 67 million bells.

Your current balance is 67,000,000 bells.

See you next time!
