• Isabelle announced that Leif was here today; I didn't buy anything, though.
• Recieved a Pirate wall in the mail from Gullivarrr.

• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Chatted with Pietro (walking along the beach), Kitty (out for a stroll), and Patty (shopping at Nook's Cranny).

• Bought some more wrapping paper.
• Picked out and wrapped new gifts to deliver tomorrow.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Headed off to work, finished up the first part of Sprinkle's remodel, and returned to Paradise Planning to get my paycheck. I'll return tomorrow to get some more work done. Also, Merengue showed me how to make coconut pudding!

• Witnessed Rex having a weird dream... I'm just gonna pretend it didn't happen. 😐

🌟 Checked both Nook's and Able's for new items
🌟 Sold a bunch of flowers to Nook's
🌟 Had Blathers identify an inventory full of fossils (that were sitting in my storage) and then sold them all at Nook's
🌟 Visited someone's island to give them some DIYs
🌟 Checked for extra weeds and flowers, but the island looked good!
🌟 Talked to Agnes, Louie, Pinky, Rhonda, and Poppy.
🌟 Poppy mentioned leaving, and I'm trying to be more open to letting villagers go, so I said yes. In hindsight, I'm not feeling good about it! Poppy and Patty have adjoining yards, set in a very specific location. This particular area of my island looks very "finished", and I had an inbuilt story about them being neighbours, so I'm regretting this. I'm either going to have to a) find a villager who has an aesthetic and personality that will compliment the existing area and neighbours, or, b) invite one of the villagers that I've already been thinking of inviting, and then invite Poppy to a different house using her amiibo card, then swap the locations of the houses.
🌟 Visited Harv's Island. Katrina talked about seeing the twins crying, so I paid her to purify my bad luck! Adorable Cornimer gave me an acorn, and I bought some items from Saharah and Redd.
🌟 Visited Happy Home Paradise, and Nan gave me a recipe, and I bought items from the shop.
🌟 I decorated houses for Elvis (he is actually really cute, I like him a lot 😊) and Rowan. Elvis wanted a"Kingdom" (I wish I had chosen a better terrain for his home), and Rowan wanted a golden shop.
🌟 Checked the Bulletin Board, and Patty's birthday is on the 10th May! 🎉
 
I had all the fences except the wedding fence (because I didn't play that the first two years) so I tt'd to June and bored myself nearly to tears creating wedding anniversary settings for Reese and Cyrus on Harv's island. Got it! Whew!
 
Monday, 10 May (yesterday) 9 May :cool:

🌟 Checked Nook's and Able's for new items, and checked the turnip prices.
🌟 Showed someone around my island, while also cleaning up some extra flowers (while trying to figure out what to do now that I told Poppy it was ok to leave). Sold the flowers at Nook's.
🌟 Talked to some of my villagers.
🌟 I forgot to mention yesterday that I went to Harv's island again to use the photo studio. I took some photos of the island residents as a group, even though Poppy left today. I wish I could include more people at the photo studio. I'd love to be able to take a picture with all the residents, including Tom Nook, Isabelle and the shopkeepers.
🌟 Went to Harv's island and bought a real statue from Redd, some of Redd's raffle items, some shrubs from Leif, and a bunch of stuff from Saharah and Kicks. I also talked to Katrina and it was a good luck day. 😊
🌟 I went to HHP, bought most of the items from the store, and ordered from the catalogue. I also stopped by to get a recipe from Nan. I decorated houses for Muffy (renaissance manor theme) and Marina (underwater theme).
🌟 Decorating those houses brought my total count to 50 decorated houses! 🎉 I'm pretty happy with that, because I've put a lot of effort into each house. I haven't gone back and redecorated very many though, nor do I have many houses with roommates. We went to the café to celebrate. 😊

Today I have to go island-hopping to find a new villager to replace Poppy who left yesterday!

Made a little canal shopping district near Resident Services. Whatever I did today was apparently enough to tip me over to a 5 stars rating, even though my Island is mostly empty and undeveloped, so that was a nice surprise!

One thing to note for yesterday is that I finally got the cutting board DIY and I am finally, finally able to complete my Ironwood kitchen ensemble!
 
Fell behind on posting 😖



5/7 (STILL FRIGGIN RAINING)
• It's a Saturday; K.K. Slider's back in town. Later in the day, I attended the show; he played K.K. Country. (And afterwards, I reached the final K.K. Mania milestone!)
• Took the black bass model out of the mail (also cleared out some old letters from the mailbox).
• Headed inside to get ready for Kitty's visit. She stayed for a while, and we played another card game (which I somehow won; whenever they pull a 5, it's anyone's guess as to which side the second card's on...). Also, it stopped raining after she left (a little after 5pm).
• Delivered the gifts! (Patty's was sent through the mail, as she was attending Slider's show).
• Chatted with Rhonda (out for a stroll) and Pietro (crafting a rose bed).
• Dug up two gyroids that popped up from yesterday's rainfall: a Wallopoid and a Bendoid!
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. To my surprise, Orville stopped by!
• Chased a scorpion down near the plaza, but it disappeared into the flowers before I could get my net out.
• Headed off to work, continued Sprinkle's remodel. I thought I was finished after I left, but only realized afterwards that I'd forgotten a few details, so I'll be returning to the newly named "Permafrost Palace" tomorrow. However, I'm still rather proud of myself for the effort I put into her second floor.

5/8 (yay! No rain today!)
• Today's HHA S-rank puts us at 229,458 points! (Thank you for the boost, Patty!)
• Recieved a thank-you gift in the mail from Kitty.
• Caught some more butterflies for Paradise Planning.
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Chatted with Kitty (making a veggie sandwich), Rhonda (out for a stroll), and Pietro (on walkabout, gathering up sticks).
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Headed off to Paradise Planning...but didn't get back to Sprinkle's as planned...

5/9
• Isabelle announced that Leif was in town today, although I didn't buy anything.
• Caught more butterflies for Paradise Planning.
• Chatted with Rhonda (crafting a golden piggy bank) and Pietro (chilling at home), but never ran into Kitty even once...
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Found a bottle on the beach with instructions inside for making a foxtail (admittedly, my initial thought was not the actual item...)
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster. Found Celeste upon walking in, and Isabelle dropped by too! (Celeste started to talk about stars; although she felt like she was rambling, I was actually quite happy to listen).
• Another announcement has appeared on the board: Gayle's birthday is coming up on the 17th! (And that also means Pekoe's is coming up, as hers is on the 18th)
• The announcement reminded me I still needed to get a present for Patty... I ordered an orange dreamy unicorn toy for her.
• Headed off to work, finished the last touches on Sprinkle's home. Realized that the vines and moss on the main island were starting to grow out of control, so I did some weeding. Also visited the hospital; got 30 turnips from Joan.
 
May 10:
-Moved Bonbon out.
-Moved Curt out.
-Moved Cube in.

5/10 (Patty's Birthday!)
• Headed over to Nook's Cranny with Patty's birthday present to get it wrapped.
• Found a bottle on the beach with instructions inside for making an iron ladder set-up kit!
• Found Flick in the flower gardens; I brought him three giant water bugs for a collectible.
• Found a gyroid fragment on the beach!
• Chatted with Rhonda (making veggie quiche), Pietro (trying to catch bugs; I accidentally hit him with my own net a few times while trying to talk to him, and I still feel bad about it 😖 ), and Kitty (hanging out in the plaza).
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Celebrated Patty's birthday together with Gayle! 🎉🎊🎉 She seemed to really like the present!
• As expected, an announcement for Pekoe's birthday has appeared on the bulletin board! (I'm still wondering how I managed to end up with two villagers whose birthdays are a day apart.)
• Briefly visited Paradise Planning, bought a few things from the souvenir shelves.

Tuesday 10 May

I only did the basics on the island yesterday, because Poppy has left and I needed to do some island-hopping to find a new villager to move in!

🌟 Checked Nook’s and Able’s
🌟 Bumped into CJ
🌟 Went island hopping (43 islands, including two money islands, one bamboo island, three sister-fruit islands and one tarantula island - sorry Dizzy, I couldn’t stay on the island even though I love you)

Today I need to renovate the garden of my newest villager, and I‘ve decided to move my campsite and two (possibly three?) villager homes! I thought it was a cute idea to put Megan’s house in the forest because she’s a bear, but now it’s so inconvient to get to, so I often don’t bother checking to see if she’s home. Because of that, I’ve decided to make a new street but I’m currently deciding whether to flatten a cliff or build it up for that area. 🤔
 
I let Truffles move away, since I have her amiibo card, and went villager hunting on mystery islands. I found Nana, whose photo I don't have. Now I'm in the process of bringing Truffles back to replace someone whose photo I do have, like Alli or Leonardo.

I'm up to over 300 photos now, maybe 306, so I'm going to work toward 400 photos this year.

  • Obtained Fauna's photo! So quick! :0 I love Fauna. What a sweetie.​
Fauna was the first villager who gave me her photo. I agree; she is a sweetie. Raymond is another sweetie who gives the photo quickly. I think I have 4 or 5 photos from him now since he's been on my island a long time.
 
First, let me say that I loved the flag bonus from City Folk in which the player paid off all the loans. I wish that there was a crafting project or a Nook Mile reward that gave us a similar flagpole so that we could provide the player character with a unique flag outside of the one used at town hall and the airport.

Since we don't have this, I'm using the short simple panels. I have four of them at town hall which displays the town flags from New Horizons and the prior games.

I ordered a short simple panel yesterday and I got it today. I placed the panel right by my door to allude to the player flag and I customized it with a pattern I made based on a handprint artwork I did when I was much younger. I also created a shirt version.

  • Zucker came over this morning while I was trying to craft stuff! Later, he invited me over to his house and gave me a dress to wear! ;w; What an angel T^T We took lots of photos.​
  • I also got Zucker's photo today! I'm so happy ;w; I love him so so many bunches!​
  • Caught a honeybee, an agrias butterfly, a mantis, and a great purple emperor! I donated them both to the museum, since I didn't have them yet.​
  • Went over to Marty's house! He was sick, so I gave him some medicine to make him feel better c: He gave me a cycling cap as a thank-you gift!​
  • Talked to Tangy, Beau, and Lobo. And gave them presents! Like I do every day.​
  • Visited The Roost and grabbed a coffee! It was DELICIOUS! Brewster is sooo good at his job :>​
  • Invited Melba to the campsite! I'm trying to get her on my island, she's one of my favorites and I LOVE HER!!!​
  • Did lots of landscaping near the entrance of my island. It looks so good so far! I'm getting a little discouraged though, imagine having to do this with the rest of my island.. :<​
  • Visited Cephalobot! He was making a dark tulip crown! I don't have this DIY yet, so I learned it! :3​
