Bob’s Cobbler Dream

Wednesday (July 9th) was Static’s birthday. For his gift, I gave him a throwback race-car bed that I purchased at Nook’s Cranny.

Static: A throwback race-car bed? This is one mighty generous gift!

Even though Static attended the birthday of fellow squirrel Agent S last week, Agent S did not return the favor. Instead, Ankha was Static’s other party attendee. And she was giving mixed messages about how much she was enjoying it. 😛

Ankha: I LOVE celebrating birthdays, don't you, I hate it?

On Thursday, Merengue was talking about moving out of town. But of course, I made her change her mind.

Merengue: Honestly, the idea of leaving here was making me sad. I'm glad you convinced me to stay, in a pie.
In a pie, where you belong. 🍰

The summer fishing tournament was held today, and I found three of my villagers all huddled up and fishing in the same spot: Ankha, Bob, and Merengue.

Maybe they should space out a bit. Bob told me that it was a great day for fishing, because the water was wet and the sky is up. Classic Bob logic. 😆

Bob: It's a great day for fishing! The water is wet and the sky is up! A huh huh huh...

I participated in one run of the tourney, and I caught seven fish in the three-minute time limit, including two red snappers.

My seven fish earned me a score of nine points, and I sold the fish for a total of 12,375 bells. I then redeemed ten points for a fish print.

Later on, I found a scallop while diving. Pascal popped up to ask for it, and he told me that getting framed sounds like a good thing.

Pascal: Getting framed sounds like it oughta be a good thing. Like they're hangin' your photo up in the hall of fame.

He gave me a pearl for the scallop.

I listened in on a conversation between my purple friends, Static and Bob. Static asked Bob about his future plans for when he grows up. Bob replied that he dreamed of building a house made out of peach cobbler!

Bob: I wanna build a great big house made out of peach cobbler!
Bob the Builder?

Static wasn’t on board.

Static: What kinda cockamamie dream is that? Talkin' to you wears me out...

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, a sick Bob gave me a jinbei after I gave him some medicine.
  • Wisp gave me a purple camo wall after I gathered up his spirits for him.
  • On Tuesday, I sold 13 fish to C.J. for 198,000 bells.
  • Flick was in town Wednesday, and I sold him 17 bugs for 111,000 bells.
  • I helped Gulliver yesterday, and he sent me a veil in the mail.

See you next time!
