Octavian was talking about Drift and Peanut being pretty close yesterday, when he randomly mentioned his dating history. 😛

I guess he viewed that as having some expertise on the subject. So, his professional opinion was that Drift and Peanut are cemented at the hip. 😛

Eloise asked me to deliver a letter to Caroline for her, and I agreed to help out. Caroline actually showed me the letter, which was about sponge cake.

Eloise rewarded me with a kiddie bureau for making the delivery.

Drift wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a tiger butterfly first. I declined his request (initially), but I still kept my eyes open for that bug. Villagers will usually repeat these requests, so my new strategy is to decline it the first time, and then see if I can catch the bug/fish anyway. If and when I do, I can return to them, let them ask me again, and BAM! Easy win, without any time pressure. 😎 After I caught one for Drift, he gave me an exquisite rug in return.

Today, Peanut asked me to deliver a gift (a bone shirt) to Octavian. He didn’t know whether to call it boring or practical. 😛

But he didn’t put the shirt on, so that probably tells how he really feels. Actions speak louder than words.

When Peanut asked what Octavian thought, I just said it went “all right.” She tried to be positive about it, saying at least the gift wasn’t rejected.

She then rewarded me with some cabana flooring.

Dotty has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. Hopefully she’ll get well soon.

I saw a balloon present floating by, so I got my slingshot out. My first shot missed, because I apparently wasn’t far north enough. So I moved up closer, and shot it down on my 2nd attempt.

I found a birdhouse inside! Maybe the bird should’ve left home first before going out for a flight. 😉

I later got a Japanese drum from Tank (in exchange for a pill bug), and I found a maple bonsai in the recycle bin at town hall. See you all next week!

Saharah was in town yesterday, and I helped her out with some deliveries. I took some wallpaper to Mabel, some carpeting to Pelly (for Phyllis), and a carpet to Tom Nook.

Saharah rewarded me with an ancient wall, which I chose over a sandlot.

Speaking of a sandlot… I visited Dotty, and I saw that she was already trying to desert me! 😛

However, I talked her out of moving. She must be a fan of my dry sense of humor. 😉

Eloise asked me to make a delivery to Tank, so I took over the gift (a U R here shirt). Tank put it on right away, and he loved it!

Eloise rewarded me with a backyard fence.

On the bulletin board, I saw a post that announced Tank was the winner of the Flower Fest. Congrats, Tank!

Today, Lyle met me outside of my house to harass me again. I decided, for the sake of completion, to finally buy his last set of insurance. Just to be done with it, you know? First, he asked me about Crazy Redd, and he gave me the option to change the day of the week that he visits. I kept him on his Tuesday schedule, even though it doesn’t really matter any more.

He asked me some questions, including whether or not I trusted him. (No way!) He eventually got to the point: He wanted me to pay 6,000 bells for so-called damage insurance.

If I purchase a painting that turns out to be a forgery, Lyle will pay me a percentage of the damages. Of course I don’t even buy paintings any more, so it’s even more useless than it would’ve been earlier in the game. But I bought it anyway. Now hopefully he’ll leave me alone. 😛

Dotty again wanted to know my blood type, and I answered “B” this time. Just to see what she says for each option. She assumed that I’m the type that saves my money and doesn’t spend much. There’s some truth to that. 😛

She told me I need to chill out and enjoy life. 😛 And then she suggested that I let her hold onto all my money! Never!

Over at town hall, I found two items in the recycle bin: An exotic lamp and a tall lantern. It’s not very often I find anything in here, let alone two items at once! I’ll gladly take them and sell them. 😛

Have a good weekend, everyone. I’ll see you next time! 🙂

The Flower Fest is underway this week, and Drift warned me not to run on his flowers yesterday.

He said he needs to win the competition, and he actually admitted to sabotaging other people’s flowers. 😛

When I spoke with Tortimer, he just complained about how he was tired and his feet ache. I guess he must not give his normal Flower Fest spiel after a certain time of day.

While villagers will have flowers around their homes, I was surprised that Caroline actually had a purple rose! Maybe having a hybrid flower will help her win the competition?

I played again today. It was a bit earlier in the day, but still just as rainy. Octavian let me know his Flower Fest strategy, which is to scream insults at the flowers until they bloom. Yeah, I’m sure that will work.

When I visited Peanut, she panicked because she didn’t have any makeup on.

But then she tried to play it off like she doesn’t wear makeup. Then why the panic? 😛

Tortimer told me about the Flower Fest today; he will decide a winner on Sunday. I don’t get a vote.

In the meantime, he gave me a white tulip bag. As if a single white tulip would help. 😛 But I don’t plan on fixing up flowers outside of my house this year anyway.

Good luck with your flowers, if you’re participating! See you next week. 🌼
