On Wednesday, Robin told me that she’s happiest when she can relax in her own home…on a pizza.

Filbert asked me to deliver a letter to Truffles, because he doesn’t trust the post office to get it to the right person.

Even though Filbert didn’t want anyone other than Truffles to read it, Truffles was eager to read it with me. 😆

In the letter, Filbert admitted to eating a 20-pound cherry delight. When I told him the delivery was done, he rewarded me with a stone wall.

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation: Caroline asked Truffles what kind of cake she would be, if she could be a cake. 😆

Truffles already knew the answer. She’d be a carrot cake. 🥕

Truffles said she thinks about this all the time, and she said she’d have a delicious frosting hat.

Caroline said that she might be a cheesecake because she likes cheese, but she hasn’t put much thought into it. Truffles scolded her for not planning for situations like this. This game is so crazy sometimes.

Today, Tank’s replacement moved in. Say hello to Pippy the rabbit.

I kind of like her, but she’s definitely not one of my favorites. It’s funny though, how villagers can remind you of people (former friends, for example) that really liked that villager.

Even though I do extended bug-catching sessions in Wild World like I do in City Folk, I did catch a couple of elephant beetles tonight.

Have a good weekend, everyone! And good luck with your summer bug hunting, if you’re into that. 🪲

Tuesday was July 1st, and I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 80,350 bells in interest this month, so I’m up to 80% of the maximum interest payment now!

It was Curt’s birthday, and I remembered to show up to his birthday party. I gave him some chocolates (from Gulliver) for his gift. Happy birthday, Curt!

He gave me a wobbelina to thank me. Caroline was also at the party, but she seemed more interested in the cake than anything else.

On Wednesday, Truffles told me that Tank and Filbert have the kind of friendship that only guys have: They settle arguments with their fists!

If a rhino and a squirrel got into a fist fight, I don’t think the squirrel has a chance at all. Would a rhino even feel a punch from a squirrel? I don’t think so.

Today, I was very surprised to find a goodbye letter from Tank in the mail!

I didn’t play yesterday, but Tank was walking around outside on Wednesday. So this isn’t a matter of him being packed up and me just forgetting to go in his house. If he was leaving this soon, shouldn’t he have been packed up on Wednesday?? I mean, it’s not like I’m crushed by Tank’s departure or anything. But I just don’t understand how things like this happen without notice when I only skipped one day. 🤷‍♂️

Caroline asked me to deliver a letter to Drift, and the clock struck 5:00 p.m. as I found him. The letter itself wasn’t all that interesting (aside from Caroline’s dream of becoming a badminton referee), but I saw Pete flying overhead in the distance. I was mid-conversation with Drift though, so I had no chance of shooting Pete down. Caroline later rewarded me with a chainlink fence.

Robin asked me for some blue furniture, so I checked out the shop to see what they had. I bought a cooler that was very clearly blue. When I took it over to Robin, she said this:

I was sure she about to tell me it’s not blue, and refuse to accept it…but surprisingly, she didn’t. (So why did she have to psych me out like that?) She was happy for the cooler, and she rewarded me with a rock guitar (no strings attached).

After that, I was about to go into town hall to check the recycle bin and wrap up my game for the day. But Whitney pinged me first, and she surprised me by giving me her photo!

After my quick stop in town hall (the recycle bin was empty today), I went home. I put Tank’s pic into storage and put Whitney’s pic on display instead.

Her favorite quote on the back is “If you even THINK about crossing me, just think about these pearly whites!” I never expected Whitney to have one of the most violent quotes in the game. Wow. So much for “Never Stop Crossing;” I better stop crossing Whitney right away. 😛

When I played on Wednesday, I received a letter from Curt in the mail. At first, I thought that meant he moved out, but that wasn’t the case this time. There is one other reason a villager will send you a letter: When they have a birthday coming up. He invited me to his birthday party on July 1st, and I thought this letter was pretty funny:

I don’t often play on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to make an exception next week (if I remember).

Over by town hall, I listened in on a conversation between Whitney and Filbert. Whitney was taking a personality quiz, and she asked if I wanted to take it too. She asked what role a wristwatch plays in my life, and I chose “convenience.” She said watches symbolize friendship, so Filbert jumped in and said that according to me, “friends are just watches.”

Filbert and Whitney both got mad at me, for something I never said! Whitney even called me a big unfeeling robot. I wanted to clock them both. 😛

And to think, these are (or were?) my two favorite villagers in town! And they ganged up on me to attack me for something so harmless. This might be the most unhinged conversation I’ve seen in Animal Crossing yet. So unnecessarily mean-spirited.

Yesterday, Curt was telling me that it’s not cool to rummage through villagers’ stuff. But as he did, he referenced the “population growing,” which is on the sign on the cover of the first Animal Crossing.

It was raining, and Truffles was afraid the rain was going to turn her into Truffles soup! Yuck, I think I’d rather have some hot ham water. 😛

Robin asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “on a pizza.” Admittedly, it isn’t the most logical catchphrase…like it would be for Anchovy. But I’m hoping the randomness of it will spice up Robin’s dialogue a bit.

Caroline’s sickness has continued into its third week! 😮 I gave her more medicine Wednesday and yesterday. By today, she was finally over her cold! She thanked me for the medicine and gave me some slate flooring.

After three weeks, I was wondering if she’d ever get over that cold. Well, better slate than never. 😛

Pascal was down on the beach today, and he told me some words of wisdom before handing me some sea view wallpaper.
