Last Saturday, Sydney the koala was camping at the campsite. I’ ve had her in my GameCube town practically forever, but I don’t particularly feel the need to add her to my New Horizons island.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, I did opt to play a game with her…and I lost. No prize for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, I visited June. She told me she was going to start charging me one bell to relax in her house! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

At least it’s affordable. She only charges the bear <\/em>minimum. \ud83d\udc3b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest’s birthday season kept rolling on, with Bones celebrating a birthday on Monday (August 4th). I gave him a smoker that I bought at the shop, and he seemed thrilled!<\/p>\n\n\n

Bone app\u00e9tit!<\/em> Ketchup was also at the party and on the menu<\/s>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over at the Resident Services plaza, I found June, Bob, and Louie setting off some sparklers. \ud83c\udf87<\/p>\n\n\n

I ran into Pascal on Tuesday, and he said you need to pick a direction to get ahead in life. Sometimes that’s the hardest part!<\/p>\n\n\n

After selling some stuff yesterday, my bank account balance reached a new milestone: 120 million bells.<\/p>\n\n\n

My New Leaf savings balance is still larger (135 million), but New Horizons is slowly catching up. It’ll overtake New Leaf eventually, but it may take another year or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town and he performed “K.K. Aria” for me and Static.<\/p>\n\n\n
