What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

I finally got the last ‘cast master’ nook miles stamp for catching 100 fish in a row without one getting away. Phew!
 
• celebrated building the campsite
• did my daily grind of fossil hunting, watering flowers, etc
• planted some fruit trees and did some landscaping
• did fishing and bug hunting for bells
• bought a new door for my house
 
Today was day five for me (and only the second time I've gotten to play during daylight hours, the first being a twenty-minute stretch yesterday afternoon).

The game is definitely starting to grow on me. I started using upgraded tools yesterday, and now my tools are only breaking a couple of times per play session, which is a huge improvement. Nook's Cranny also opened today. I'm a little concerned about the hours (10 pm falls before my normal play time on weekdays so far), but hopefully everything will work out alright. I'm not too sure whether I like the placement of the shop, unfortunately. Everything feels a little crowded so far, and once I build some bridges, I might try to move out some of the shops.

I placed my first housing plot, and started building furniture for one lucky future resident's home. I already invited one of my three future villagers on an island tour, so I'll be looking out for other candidates over the next day or two.

Today was the first time I got to sit down and do some serious town planning. I'm thinking about having four small neighborhoods with villager homes (2 x 3 villagers and 2 x 2 villagers), and I have some vague ideas about where I might place those. I also have a spot in mind for the campsite, though it's a little difficult to get to. I still need to settle on where to put the Able Sisters, and where I might want to move Nook's Cranny and possibly the Museum to, but I'm going to leave my existing buildings for a few days and see if the placement begins to grow on me.

Overall, I noticed that I'm becoming more attached to my island. I upgraded my house today (first post-tent upgrade), placed my first bridge, and gained access to the ladder, which allowed me to finally explore the rest of my island. I've been a little dubious about the whole thing, and the start has seemed slow, but I think things may begin to pick up. I'm excited about a bunch of new furniture I just unlocked for crafting (as part of the housing kit construction), and once I collect enough materials, I'm hoping to work on my home a bit more.
 
  • Bought some more stuff from Mabel
  • The Great Nova Cove Cleanup - weeded my entire island and moved flowers into arranged gardens to hopefully breed hybrids
  • Customized a few outdoor items
  • Reorganized my house's interior a bit (I'm so jealous of everyone on the House Interior's thread. All the items I've been able to buy are ugly and I keep getting duplicate DIY recipes)

Honestly, and I hate to say it, the game was kinda boring without resident services. I wish I'd thought in advance to buy a few miles tickets to at least go somewhere different and see some new sights for a while. My villagers apparently don't like me enough to ask for favors.
 
Chose the temporary location for the Able Sisters store, moved in Raymond & donated a few bugs to the museum that I was on the hunt for.
 
March 28, 2020:

- Invited Quillson to Agrestis, who was my forced move in from the campsite.
- Mable visited my island today! This marked her third visit to my island, which allowed me to plot the tailor shop! Able Sisters is coming to Agrestis tomorrow.
- Managed to stock up about 300K Bells to spend on turnips tomorrow morning. Hoping Daisy Mae has decent prices!
- Spent some more time re-arranging some trees to free up some space for hybrid gardens. Working on chrysanthemums and roses right now, alongside some pansies and windflowers. I also have some lilies growing in, but they aren't my main focus right now.
- Probably going to attempt to catch the barreleye and golden trout again later tonight as well.

Once Quillson moves in tomorrow and I purchase my turnips for the week, I'm thinking of scouting the island tours out a few times to see what villagers I come across for my seventh villager. Going to scout out a cranky villager, I think (hopefully Wolfgang).
 
- cleaned the whole town
- started to propagate hybrides
- talked to my villages
- farmed some basic stuff like wood
 
Man, a lot of you are just now cleaning up your towns?! I practically did that once I unlocked an area to traverse... hate those eyesores you call weeds! XD
 
I met Celeste which is all I ever wanted. :blush:

Other than that I just did the usual stuff. Celebrated my camping site and second bridge, placed my third bridge and finally managed to do a tarantula island without actually getting one. I didn't manage to fill my inventory before Nook's Cranny closes, so I'm missing like 40,000 bells to get my third bridge done tomorrow. :confused:
 
1. Paid off my 198,000 Bell house loan
2. Attended the ceremony for my campsite
3. Set up and donated all of the money I needed it for my island’s first incline
4. Caught three new fish: a char, then a golden trout, and then a string fish then donated them to the museum

It felt so freaking good catching that stringfish. :,)
And I actually caught two golden trout. ^_^

Here's what all went on in Shione today!

3/28
• Resident Services was completed today! It looks great! And Isabelle has arrived, too! (I'm gonna miss seeing Nook every day, though)
• Mabel stopped by today! I spent a lot of bells, so I hope it'll eventually help her set up here permanently!
• My first hybrid grew in today: an orange hyacinth!
• Rex taught me how to make a log wall-mounted clock.
• I increased my inventory space even further, and learned to make new things thanks to Nook Miles.
• Nook wants to have K.K. Slider come and perform on Shione. First, he says we need more tourists, so it looks like it's time to build a campsite! I'll have to find somewhere that looks good.
• Isabelle helped me change out the flag and town tune. I'm actually rather proud of the design I came up with for the flag! (And the tune ended up being Red Like Roses Part 2, as I was having trouble thinking of anything else)
• Gathered materials, made bank, grinded up Miles.
• Discovered I quite like the music for 6pm (after unlocking hourly tunes)
• Found a space for the campsite!
• Went on a short trip for materials
• Celebrated the completion of the new RS building with everyone
• Laid down ground work, and finally made my front yard =^-^=
 
-Mabel was in the plaza so I bought a cute floral skirt from her.
-Built a fence around my house.
-Bought a ton of flowers and planted them around town. Still trying to get different varieties.
-Planted a couple more cherry trees.
-Caught a barreleye and donated it to the museum.
-Did lots of fishing and saved up some money for turnips tomorrow morning.

Overall a pretty slow day. Resident services was closed so I couldn't redeem any Nook Miles.
 
Today was busy for me

Went to a mystery island and found it full of a fruit didn't have: pears (I started with cherries and got oranges in the mail)
Planted twelve of the pears and sold the other 45.
Continued donating fossils to my museum
Plopped off more than 100k helps from my mortgage
Rearranged my furniture to better match my plans for room theme
Caught way too many fish
 
i visited my first mystery island of the day and found marshal, bamboo, and a ton of spiders... so that happened
