Duck in the Rain

On Saturday, Hornsby sent me a warm painting in the mail. It was authentic, but I didn’t need it for the museum.

It was Louie’s birthday, and I dropped by his house for his party. Admiral was also there to help him celebrate, and I gave Louie a wrapped, customized, barbell. He seemed really excited about it.

Louie, at his birthday party: Oh! Oh, wow.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Dixie for me, Apollo, Ketchup, and Marina.

Yesterday, I helped out Wisp and he rewarded me with a vertical-stripes shirt.

Today, I received my latest Nookling reward: a Nook Inc. cushion. Pretty cool!

The Nook Inc. cushion.

I went out to Lottie’s Island to work at Paradise Planning, and Sylvia wanted some pool time for her and her child. So I gave her a regular pool and a plastic pool (for her child). In addition, I chose a home next to the river, so they can also do some wild swimming if they choose.

I also added a beach chair, a beach towel, and a swinging bench…all facing the pool so they can keep an eye on the kid(s). Then I threw in some inflatable toys for good measure.

Sylvia's pool-time yard in Happy Home Paradise.

Indoors, I made it a child-friendly house with a blue playroom wall and colorful puzzle flooring. Each corner of the house has a different purpose: There’s a sleeping area, a bathroom, an eating area, and a play area for the kid.

Back at the office, Lottie paid me 12,000 Poki for my work. Niko wanted to talk to me about D.I.Y. recipes; in fact, he begged me to tell him everything I’ve crafted so far!

Niko: Please. I'm a desperate monkey!

I did, and I can now use crafted items in the houses I design from now on. At least, I can use items that I’ve already crafted before (not new recipes). Fine by me!

I then returned to Forest, where it was now raining. Ketchup hasn’t been indoors the past three days, so I still haven’t seen the inside of her house yet! But I did get to see her in her super-cute rain gear!

Ketchup: We've got a rainy night tonight! Have fun out here, but be super careful, bitty!
It’s like water off a duck’s back. 😉

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned it to Hornsby. He thanked me for returning it by giving me a clean-room suit. 😛

Hornsby: This is the shopping bag I thought I lost! You found him!
Him?

See you all again soon! Have a good night (or day)! 🙂
