Today, my white mailbox was installed on my house. It fits my astro theme better than my old red one did. It’s too bad there’s not an astro mailbox, though.
Copper told me that there was a storm brewing off the coast, which means Gulliver will be washed up on the shore. So I headed down to the beach and found the confused gull.
He told me he was headed to the land of ninjas and samurais. Clearly, he was headed to Japan.
And then I found a construction site where a new villager is moving in. It’s going to be Canberra’s house.
A quick Google search revealed that Canberra is a koala. And an ugly koala at that. Now just two days ago, I was bad-mouthing the koalas in Animal Crossing games, saying they’re not cute like real koalas and I don’t like them. And now I get an ugly koala of my own. I guess that’s koala karma. And I should mention that Canberra is named after an Australian city, much like other Animal Crossing koalas Sydney, Melba (Melbourne), and Alice (Alice Springs).
Anyway, I soon headed up to Main Street. Gabi and Tabby were again hanging out together; I tried to avoid them as much as possible. Nook Homes had this stainless mailbox for sale. Even though I just got my white mailbox today, I figured this one would match my astro exterior even better, so I went ahead and bought it.
And the Able Sisters had this spade shirt for sale. The spade itself is blue, so it still matches my cap and shorts, so I bought it as well.
In Labelle’s portion of the shop, there was a fencing mask for sale. I sprung for it, even though I don’t have immediate plans of using it. I could see it coming in handy during a Wi-Fi game, like if one person is the “killer” or if I want to hide my face because of a bee sting.
Molly wanted to visit my house, so we arranged a time. When the time came, I gave her a tour of all my rooms. She really liked my sleek bed.
And in my modern wood room, she was barely through the door when she smelled my pumpkin pie and commented on it.
My “fake rock” for the day gave me a gold nugget. I had two in storage already, so I took the three of them to Cyrus at Re-Tail. He turned them into a golden table.
And Alli suggested a new public works project (PWP) today. Unfortunately, it was just a streetlight.
It didn’t sound very exciting to begin with, but it looks even worse than I imagined.
And later, I remembered that I never showed a picture of the jungle gym that Big Top suggested a couple weeks ago. So here’s a picture of that.
That’s all for now, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow. And remember, August is winding down, so you only have a few days left to catch a lot of the summer bugs and fish. Good luck and happy hunting!
