Today, I received Vladimir’s goodbye letter in the mail.

It’s April Fools Day, and I found Tortimer standing outside of town hall. He said he didn’t like the concept of there being a day when it’s okay to lie to people…

And then he played a prank on me anyway. He gave me a leaf, which looks like a furniture item…but it’s a furniture item that looks like the furniture icon.

You can even rotate it, but it’s not as recognizable from the other angles.

When I spoke with Tortimer again, he said it’s okay to play pranks…just not on him. 😛

Of course, April also brings the pink petals of cherry blossom petals. I really liked this view of pink trees, the sunset, and Grizzly on the other side of the river.

Speaking of Grizzly, he asked me for a new catchphrase to replace me-YOWZA, which he stole from Tom. I couldn’t think of anything, so I told him to bear with. 😉

And some of my villagers were trying to play tricks on me. Harry said that Tom Nook was opening up the back room of the shop, and everything was 90% off. Yeah, right. 😛

Boomer was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine.

Happy April Fools Day, everyone! And enjoy cherry blossom season, it’s one of the prettiest times of the year! 🙂 See you next time!

On Tuesday, Harry sent me a letter thanking me for the medicine recently. He attached a bear pole to the letter.

Pascal was standing on my southern bridge, and he shared some wise words about complaining. 😛

I gave him a scallop, and in return, he handed over an anchor. I decided to put it in my house for now, even if it doesn’t fit the theme of any of my rooms.

Yesterday, Vladimir was all packed up and ready to move out of town. 👍

In the recycle bin at town hall, I was surprised to find two—yes, two—bathtubs! It’s rare enough to find two items there at all, let alone two of the same exact thing! Weird. 🛁

I didn’t spot any special visitors in town, so I checked for the UFO last night. To my surprise, it actually came! I missed the first fly-by; I heard it, but didn’t see it. But I was ready for the return flight, and I shot it down! Woohoo!

This was my 33rd UFO overall, and my first one since last June. I looked around and found the spaceship part. Today, I headed down to the beach to find Gulliver.

I woke him up, and he wasn’t happy when he realized his ship was missing a piece.

I handed him the missing part, and he rewarded me with a Merlion. I like that item a lot, so I put it in my house.

Boomer told me that Hopper was making fun of his catchphrase (“awwwk,” which he learned from Queenie), so he wanted something new to say. As Hopper snuck up behind him to listen in on our conversation, I told Boomer to say “let’s fly.” It’s partially because he looks like a pilot, but also for the irony of penguins being one of the few birds that can’t fly.

Note: Vladimir was still in boxes today, so I won’t get his goodbye letter until next time.

Yesterday, Vladimir told me that he was thinking about moving out of town. I did not try to stop him, mainly because of my cranky villager surplus.

I played again today, but it was too soon for him to be in boxes. Look for that when I play again next week.

As I was banging a rock, looking for money, I heard the little jumping sounds of a flea. I got my net out and caught a flea that was on Roscoe. I liked his comment about being chocolate to fleas. 😛

A few minutes later, I found that Antonio was also suffering from fleas! I also freed him from his flea infestation.

It’s not that often that I see two villagers with fleas in the same day, much less just a few minutes apart. But I have to wonder why Antonio, of all my villagers, couldn’t take care of it himself? He sucks bugs through a straw every day of his life! He should be good at that sort of thing by now. 😉

Over by Pac-Man Pond, a pair of penguins were having an impromptu penguin party.

They didn’t tell me what the occasion was, but they sure seemed to be having a good time. 😛

Harry has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine Monday, yesterday, and then again today.

Wendell was in town, but I didn’t stop to talk to him (or give him food). I’m sure he’ll be okay, though. 😛

Have a great weekend, everyone! See you again soon. 🙂
