Day 7

Today in Burray Wart Jn moved in. His house looks awful and it's right in front of the train station so I think he will have to go.

I have plotted and paid for another suspension bridge.

Built a snowman.

Caught lots of beetles on the island for my next house extension. Donated a Whale shark and a Saw shark to the museum.

The gardening shop was open for the first time so I have an ax and can remove trees that are in the way.

After some hemming and hawing, I decided to join in on this challenge.
Preparations made: Writing down the villagers I'm hoping to get back throughout this year (just Knox and Freya, really).
I've made a lot of progress on this town, but a lot of it was due to time travel and some inventory help from a hacked share-town. So... Here goes nothing... *Tells Isabelle to erase the town*

Town name: Seoul
Character: Suyeon (female)
Town layout:
c785db654ee88a042d48d9d3f36f4f3e.png

Native Fruit: Peaches
 
I haven't posted for yesterday
summary of day 6 and day 7:
farmed beetles
got pyramid and rack of rice request
paid some more debt
talked to villagers and sent them mail with gifts as usual
daily chores around the town
set up more patterns to prevent villagers from moving onto paths
 
My progress thus far (since all stores sans Re-tail are closed for the night)...
- Planted my tree
- Spoke to my Villagers and Isabelle (since it's New Years, all I'll get from her today is the Rooster, nothing else)
- Picked all the peach trees, selling all but 27 normal + 1 perfect (I'll see if I can make that one area of land that only has the one house into some orchards once I have all my fruit)
- Got my tent squared away (got the lantern, bought the pachira, common bed, storage case, and common chair from Re-tail).
- Bought all the clothing from Able Sisters sans the hats from today, then sold everything but the Cat Dress.
- Bought the shovel and fishing rod from Nooklings as well as some Industrial Paper. Also bought the Billiard Table and Striped Closet (not that I foresee using these).
- Cataloged 18 fish w/ Blathers
- Donated 3 fossils
- Found the money rock (got all but the final bag without prior holes dug) as well as the ore rock
- Got stung by bees

Bell Count (as of save & quit): 30,200
 
So sad... I totally planted all of my peaches out of excitement when I got them so this morning I had all the fruits but peaches because they hadn't grown yet... so I mean, I succeeded but without a picture there is no evidence. X.X RIP me
 
How are you all getting pwp requests so fast?
I tried to do the diving trick and after two hours still nothing. My friendship isn't high enough yet I guess. Gotta work on that.

I've only gotten two so far! First one was the diving trick, second one was random

Latibule Day 7 ~

- Garden shop opened!
- Started funding/payed off the Outdoor Chair
- Got three badges from Phineas (one for 50% of fishing encyclopedia and two for the 50% and 80% of the diving encyclopedia)!
- Felicity nicknamed me H-Star (not great but better than the two Goose was suggesting - Beefcake and Cleats)

Island medals are something I can do, though! Just have to remember to take a picture before I spend them...
