Yesterday, I noticed a new hybrid flower in town: A purple pansy popped up, parked on the pink pig’s premises. (That would be Truffles’s yard.)

Today, Whitney told me that she slept in this morning. All she can think of is bed. That’s definitely relatable as the days get cooler. 🛏️

When I spoke with Pippy, she asked if I was into collecting furniture. I said yes, and she said she’s going to buy up all the good furniture at the shop before me! That’s rude of her!

Gracie was in town, so I took her fashion quiz and earned another Fashionista Badge. I then paid her 5,000 bells for a new outfit, and this is what she gave me:

She gave me a crossing shirt and some triangle shades. I decided to keep the shirt, but not the sunglasses. I also did something I’ve rarely (if ever) done before: I sold some clothes at Able Sisters.

Mabel gave me a total of 120 bells for the triangle shades and the flame shirt I had been wearing before.

That’s the same price that Tom Nook pays, unfortunately. So there’s not really an incentive or reason to sell clothes to the Able Sisters, other than for the novelty of it.

But while I was in there, I also had a chat with Sable. She mentioned how Tom Nook wears an apron and nothing else… (Too much information?)

She commented that he must get a bit chilly once the cool autumn air reaches his…um, nooks and crannies.

On that pleasant note, I decided I’d had enough Wild World for the day. 😆 I saved and quit my game right then and there. But I’ll be back with another entry next week. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Update: If you haven’t yet seen my latest video episode, here it is!

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and I had a chat with Cornimer (who is totally not Tortimer) outside of town hall. He asked me to bring him all the acorns that I can find lying around town.

He also gave me my fortune, which said a whole lot of nothing.

So I began gathering up acorns. They were everywhere!

But for some reason, Pippy felt the need to rush me!

These acorns aren’t going to walk off on their own! And this festival continues all week, so there’s absolutely no reason to rush.

Whitney asked if I’ve squirrel away tons of acorns yet. 😛

And speaking of squirrels, Filbert told me that acorns are very healthy. Yeah, maybe for a squirrel, but I’m not interested in eating them. Does he think I’m nuts?

As for the acorns, of course I took care to dispose of the rotten ones. I took the others back to Cornimer, earning mush furniture in the process. In all, I ended up with exactly 100 acorns! Just like I did two years ago.

They earned me seven pieces of furniture: I got a mush stool, mush end table, mush lamp, mush chair, mush dresser, mush closet, and a mush stand. I sold them for a total of 15,600 bells…which isn’t mush.

In other news, Truffles was finally over her cold. She thanked me for the medicine I gave her last week, and she rewarded me with a chainlink fence.

Filbert asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “with acorns.” Whitney had the same request, and I was out of ideas…so I said “on a pig.” Robin asked for a new greeting, and she’s now saying “Where’s Batman?” I don’t know why so many villagers were asking for new phrases today, though. 🤷

On Thursday, I received my latest bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 87,000 bells in interest this month.

Pippy surprised me by asking me to buy some coffee for her!

It wasn’t really an actual request, though. Just random dialogue.

A new post on the bulletin board informed me that the Acorn Festival starts next week! I would say to start gathering your nuts, but there’s not really anything you can do yet. Acorns don’t appear until then.

Speaking of acorns, Mom sent me one attached to a letter yesterday. I dropped it on the ground, and I’ll probably use it next week.

Filbert was talking about the Acorn Festival too, and he wondered why Tortimer never shows up for that event (when he shows up at all the others). 😆

Whitney reminded me to water any wilted flowers I see, saying that hydration is key for flowers and for ladies.

Frobert was home, so took a close look at the inside of his house. (Note: He was already unpacked when I met him last week, but I was more focused on who my new villager was, and I didn’t pay as much attention to his house.) But it’s very colorful in here, and he has a lot of fruit-themed furniture.

I’ve also noticed that Frobert and Filbert’s names are only different by two letters. So I have two F*berts in town. Don’t be surprised if I use the wrong name at some point. 😆

Truffles has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine Thursday, yesterday, and again today.

The flea market was held today, and I asked Filbert about his zipper shirt. I thought it would look nice for Halloween season. However, he warned me not to slobber all over it!

Apparently, that was his way of telling me the shirt wasn’t for sale. But there was nothing else I wanted to buy, and I didn’t buy from any of my villagers this time.

I’ll see you all next week for the Acorn Festival!
