On Wednesday, Filbert asked me if I’d like to see a nice picture of a couch. I’ve seen this dialogue before, and I usually answer yes. But this time, I said no. He was disappointed, so he asked if I’m into couches even a little bit. This time, I said yes, and he wondered why I didn’t say that from the start. He even called me weird! 😆

But then he gave me a free club shirt and said cheers to our friendship. So we’re still good. 😆

I’ve had a couple requests to pitfall Frobert for his recent comments about Sable (he called her lazy). So I made sure to do that. This is for Sable, fribbit.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get mad about it. Pitfalls can be a bit unsatisfying in Wild World.

Yesterday, I spotted a new house in the same spot that Curt just moved out of. His replacement is Chief the wolf.

So I traded one cranky “C” villager for another who lives in the same spot. But I already like Chief better. 😛

The fishing tournament is coming up on Sunday, and Truffles was already talking about it. More specifically, she was telling me that fish eyes gross her out. 😛

Today, I ran into Chief in front of my house. He was talking about the upcoming tournament too, and he said he thinks I’m a cheater! Dude, we just met, why would you even think that?

And just like that, the new villager “honeymoon” is over already. He’s already starting to get on my bad side by saying that. Maybe me and crankies just aren’t meant to get along in this game.

Robin’s sickness has continued into a third week. I gave her more medicine Wednesday and Thursday. But by today, she was finally feeling better.

Despite what she said, she did give me a reward for helping out: a quince bonsai.

I found two items in the recycle bin at town hall, a tape deck and a two-ball shirt.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video episode (#85) that I posted a few days ago, here it is:

See you all next week!

I received Curt’s goodbye letter in the mail today, as expected. But on the way out, he called Forest a stink hole! Shots fired! And now I’m really glad he’s gone.

Bright Nights week is here, so all of my villagers’ homes (and most of the cedar trees) are now decorated with festive lights. Filbert’s house had a decorated tree right next to it, which I always like to see when judging the homes.

Robin was still sick with a cold, so I gave her another dose of medicine. But despite her illness, she was somehow able to decorate her house quite nicely. That included a tree behind her house and one next to it.

Meanwhile, my outdoor villagers asked me to pick their houses and tell Tortimer about it.

But the indoor villagers don’t seem to mention it at all. That included Frobert, who had four decorated trees surrounding his house! I couldn’t fit them all on-screen at once, though.

To me, that was clearly the best in town. The lights were un-frog-gettable! So I went over to town hall to speak with Mayor Tortimer.

After telling him the lights in town were gorgeous, he asked me for my choice. The first page of options listed Truffles, Frobert, Marina, and Robin. I accidentally chose “Someone else,” which took me to the next page of the list. However, something apparently went wrong, because it again listed Truffles, Frobert, Marina, and Robin (instead of the other four villagers)! But I went on and selected Frobert to make him the official winner.

I went back to Frobert’s house to tell him the news, but he again made no mention of Bright Nights at all! Does he even know he won? It didn’t seem like it! It’s quite different from last year, when Bones was thrilled (and appreciative) to win! Well, congrats anyway, Frobert! 🐸

On Thursday, I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 93,650 bells in interest this month.

When I visited Filbert, he asked how long I soak in the bathtub. I had to use a slider to respond, with one extreme being “One hour” and the other being “I don’t.” I know I’ve picked the latter option before (maybe not with Filbert, but with someone), so I wanted to see what he’d say if I said one hour. He said that would be a steam bath, and he seemed to laugh at the thought of me sweating in the tub. 🛁

On the bulletin board, I saw a notice that the Bright Nights festival is next week! Wow, that seemed to sneak up on me!

Yesterday, Filbert was again being weird. He told me that the ocean in February is full of vigor and verve. 🤷‍♂️

Marina was standing nearby too, and she gave me some tips for getting a good score with the Happy Room Academy.

Moments later, I chatted with Marina again. This time, she told me not to be in such a rush. She wanted me to take my time to shake a tree or pull a weed.

I checked the recycle bin at town hall, and I found a weeping fig there. Or at least I think I did…unless it was a fig-ment of my imagination. I’m not sure why it was weeping, but maybe it was going through a root awakening. 😛

Today, I found Curt all packed up and ready to move out of town. He’s never been one of my favorites, but I have earned his photo and he has lived in town for over a year. So I feel like he’s had enough time in Forest, and I let him go.

Robin was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Robin!

After making my rounds, I went over to the Roost. K.K. Slider was performing tonight, and I asked him for a random song. He played “K.K. Rockabilly” for me.

I hope to see you all next week for Bright Nights!
