Well, I didn’t bother with turnips this week. I’m about more than making money, man.

At the moment I’m mostly about fruit trees. I’m going to wait a few days without picking any fruit so I can see which trees on the east side are fruit trees and which ones… aren’t. I’ll then cut the non-fruit ones down and replace them with nice pear, orange and peach trees. I’m thinking long term here, you see.

Anyway, today was Yay Day. In which the animals all said nice things to me – even Curt! – and I had to say nice things back. “Nice ears”, “cool trunk”, “shiny beak”, “nice arse”, that sort of thing. (Deena’s now proudly striding round Venture proclaiming that “nice arse” is her middle name.) The only animal not taking part was Frobert, who had the sickness and needed his medicine again. There’s something very wrong with that frog.

I’ve persuaded Curt to stay, which pleases me. Every town needs at least one grumpy resident. Nobody seems to be packed today, which is nice. I like getting new villagers, but I’m pretty happy with my neighbours right now.

Also completely rearranged my ground floor room… but I’m still not happy with it at all. Hmpf. Maybe I need to go for a whole new vibe, ditch the gaming/entertainment thing.
