Catching a Fly

Big Top started out my day on a bad note, saying he was going to move out on the 28th! Sorry, bud. Permission denied.

Big Top: Hmmm... Then it's settled! The move is off, and I'm staying put!Saharah was in town once again, and I paid her for some new wallpaper and carpet. But I do not like what she did to the place.

This carpeting and wallpaper are not a good match.Skye was over by my new metal bench, and she asked me for some fruit.

Skye: Sorry, skippy, but could you do me a favor and get me a piece of fruit? Any kind is fine with me!I gave her a perfect pear and she thanked me by giving me a rococo clock.

For the second time this week, Tabby suggested a new public works project. Today, she recommended an archway sculpture.

Tabby: Don't you think Forest would be five million times better with an archway sculpture?From the name, I couldn’t picture what that was. But I went to town hall to take a look at it, and I recognized it. But I always thought this was like a dinosaur rib cage or something. 😀

Archway sculpture: 265,000 bells.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Sophie from Clover was my most recent dream visitor. So hello to Sophie if you’re reading this!

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Sophie from Clover enjoyed your dream.I then went fishing for garbage. No, not sea bass…literal garbage. I caught an old boot, and then I used it to catch my first fly! Shoe fly, don’t bother me.

I caught a fly... Quite the buzzkill for it!I now only need four bugs and four fish until those collections are complete.

Over by my western bridge, Big Top was talking about how he could grow bigger. Then I’d have to call him Big Big Top, he said.

Big Top: Then you can call me Big Big Top!After 8:00, I went to the museum to hear K.K. play. And then I remembered that he doesn’t play at the museum in New Leaf. So I backtracked to Club LOL and asked him for a random song. He performed K.K. Rally for me.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Rally.

Metal Bench

Today is the day that my new metal bench was completed! I couldn’t wait to give it a sit, so I hurried my buns over to the park.

My new metal bench was completed today!I’ve also updated my town page to include the new addition.

Later on this evening, Tammy suggested a new public works project: a bus stop! Ooh, let’s go to the city! Oh wait, we can just walk up to Main Street.

Tammy: We totally need to fund the best bus stop there is! It'll be quite the tourist attraction!This is what it looks like. It’s even uglier than I expected.

Bus stop: 136,000 bells.

Since Katrina was in town today, I paid her to tell my fortune. She told me that boots were the key to good fortune for today.

Katrina: Boots...Phineas was also in town. I didn’t have a clue what badge I would be getting, but it turned out to be the Weed Hunter badge for pulling lots of weeds.

Phineas: I hope you keep up the good work and continue to keep this town free of the naughty little sprouts!I then attended the completion ceremony for the metal bench.

Isabelle, my villagers, and I fire party poppers to commemorate the opening of the metal bench.In this central location, it didn’t take long for a villager to use it.

Teddy: J dog! Saved you a seat!Teddy saved me a seat, so I sat next to him for a minute.

Me and Teddy sitting on the metal bench.At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Patty and Daisy came over to visit. Daisy found my new metal bench pretty quickly.

Daisy and Jeff sitting on the metal bench.I let Patty catalog a few items and I did some fishing. We then took the boat out to the island.

Kapp'n: One time me wife had spinach in her teeth, but we still smooched. That's par when yer in love.After catching a few bugs, I went on “BRB” to get something to drink. When I returned, I saw we had disconnected. I reopened my gate and Patty returned, but Daisy didn’t. Big Top asked me for some fruit, so I gave him a perfect pear. He thanked me and gave me a black katana in exchange.

Before she left, Patty wanted to take a picture on the new metal bench.

Me and Patty sitting on the metal bench.She left around 11:00, and I closed the gate soon after. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Sunglasses at Night

Tonight, Kidd was making fun of me for wearing sunglasses at night. So I can, So I can…

Kidd: Heh heh. Skippy! Sunglasses at night? Are you some sort of famous celebrity who's too cool for us?Outside, Rolf suggested a new public works project, a drilling rig.

Rolf: Yeah, we should totally put a drilling rig somewhere here in town!Of course I appreciate having a new PWP added to my list of available projects, but I don’t plan on putting this one in my town. This is what it looks like:

Drilling rig: 298,000 bells.But I did decide to install a different project, the metal bench. I’m installing it in front of my fountain, so I’ll be able to sit there and see the fountain in the background. Also, it will give me a chance to sit next to an animal. Even though I have one bench in my park area, I’ve never seen animals sit on it. I believe it’s because it’s in a distant corner of town. This new bench is front and center, so I expect to see animals using it (hopefully) on a regular basis.

The project's donation goal has been met!Luna told me that Ashleigh from Bellwood was my most recent dream visitor. When I returned to town, Skye started singing the town tune of Ruby. Ruby is Chris’s town, which is where Skye lived before she moved to Forest.

Skye: I feel like singing Ruby's town tune! So here goes!I decided to make a quick trip out to the island, where I participated in the evening firefly tour. I caught twelve fireflies in five minutes, earning me a gold Tortimer award and 12 medals.

You caught a firefly! Nice catch!When I returned from the island, I noticed a friend was online. So I asked if I could stop over to sell some perfect peaches there, and I scored 75,000 bells for the sale. After that, I returned to Forest and ended my night.
