On Wednesday, I spotted Beardo in town once again! He was sitting on the chair near my stonework kitchen!

So I dug a hole right in front of the chair. Even though he never got up to fall into it, at least I didn’t run into him elsewhere in town. He stayed there for my entire session. 😆

I ran into Pascal while diving, and he told me that books are like mouths with a hundred paper tongues, each with something to say. I don’t know, that sounds a bit creepy to imagine opening a book and seeing a bunch of tongues inside. 😛

He gave me two pearls for my scallop.

Broccolo the mouse was camping at the campsite. He’s a cute little mouse, but I did not invite him to move in.

Yesterday, I hit five rocks to complete a Nook Miles+ goal, and my miles balance topped six million bells for the first time.

Today, the July Bug-Off was held. Louie seemed to be taking it waaaaay too seriously. He wasn’t monkeying around. Chill out, man!

I participated in one round, catching 15 bugs and scoring 17 points.

I sold my 15 bugs for 12,150 bells. I also redeemed some points for a ladybug umbrella and a bug wand. To take advantage of Flick while he was in town, I grabbed some bugs out of storage and sold them. Flick paid me 218,250 bells for the 32 bugs.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week in Forest:

• Last Saturday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Bossa” for me, June, Savannah, Agent S, and Kid Cat.
• On Monday, I played a treasure hunt game with Louie. I found the treasure (a pineapple aloha shirt) in just 10 seconds!
• I helped out Gulliver on Tuesday, and he sent me a tam-o’-shanter.
• I returned a lost item to Peanut on Wednesday, and she rewarded me with a lawn mower! That’s about as exciting as watching grass grow. 😉
• Yesterday, I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him. To thank me, he gave me a glass holder with candle. 🕯️

The summer fishing tourney was held last Saturday, and I played just one round. I caught six fish (including two guppies) to score eight points.

C.J. paid me 4,950 bells for the six fish. I had enough points for a prize, so I redeemed them for a fish-print tee.

On Sunday, Pascal popped up from under the sea when I caught a scallop. He told me that talented people are just normal people who practice something a lot.

He gave me two pearls for my scallop and swam away. He’s a talented swimmer, that Pascal. 😉

Yesterday, Bones was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him. After taking the medication, he started to feel a bit better. But the reward he gave me wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

• Last Saturday, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate bandanna in the mail.
• On Sunday night, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Cruisin'” for me, Savannah, Static, Merengue, and Bob.
• I gave some medicine to a sick Kid Cat, and he rewarded me with a balloon hat.
• On Monday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 224,250 bells.

Last Saturday, Bob and Kid Cat told me they were going on a picnic together. They asked me for advice on where to have it.

I suggested the beach, and Bob was happy because he likes to fish. And he said seashells are the chips of the sea! Yikes, I hope he has some really strong teeth!

Broffina the chicken was camping out at the campsite, so I stopped in to say hello. But unlike last week, there was no temptation to adopt this camper.

On Monday, Agent S was surprised to see me wearing the rabbit tee she gave me. But there’s just one problem with that: It was Peanut that sent me the rabbit tee! I even went back and double-checked my footage from last week! So I don’t know what Agent S is talking about!

Savannah was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. She rewarded me with a bottled ship.

C.J. was in town on Tuesday, and I caught three big-time fish to complete his seasports challenge. The third one was an ocean sunfish! 🙂

I then sold him 32 fish for 520,500 bells. That’s a nice chunk of change when you get over half a million bells for one pocketful of fish!

There was another camper on Wednesday, Gloria the ugly duckling, at the campsite. Let me tell you, I ducked out of there pretty quack. I mean, pretty quick.

Thursday (July 9th) was Static’s birthday, and I made sure to attend his birthday party. Just like with Agent S a week earlier, I gave Static some bamboo grass that I recently ordered. He seemed to think it was a generous gift, and I think it’ll look nice in his house.

That wasn’t the only similarity to Agent S’s party last week, though. Louie was again the squirrel’s other party-goer…and he again accused me of being late to the party!

Who made him the town’s official timekeeper, anyway? Maybe he keeps up with his Donkey Kong jungle beats…but I think punctuality is slightly different from rhythm. 😉

Today, my old buddy Apple (of Apple Lane fame) visited town as a tourist. It was nice to see her again! 🙂

Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week!
