Why can't you zip it and let me enjoy these little pleasures of working from home!

Anyone tuning in for the digital event now?

For those not playing it, here's a pretty cool comparison vid to enjoy on your next tea break:

Yes please, I'll take a +1 towards the birthday stamp. Sometime after 8pm?

73 round my way. Fed it into the predictor tool and apparently I'll be lucky to see 145 this week!

Pity! I'd have opened between 11 am-12 if you'd posted. This is the first time I've bought turnips since last March/ April I think, and I'm hoping to rake in enough bells to see me through another year.

That'd be great, thanks very much! I will buy some before she leaves.

Anyone doing turnips this week? Joan's granddaughter is selling them for 92 bells; I'm thinking of buying in and it would minimise the risk if others are still playing the market.

Just unlocked the new theme after four or five intense rounds, and got myself up to level 40 in doing so. The music in this one really makes you want to slam down the blocks as fast as you can!

Open now! Come over and get out again before the footy starts in fifteen mins.

Yes, absolutely. (Also, please check it before buying in case I am wrong about it!) You'll be online later this evening?

Redd has dropped anchor with, seemingly, two legit paintings! I ordered one and the basic painting remains. If anyone is in need of it, drop a post and I will be able to open up at pretty much any time during the day for you. If you don't need it, feel free to still buy it and then send it to me for my museum.

Bins or dump trucks? I have a ram called Frita at the campsite today. It is dressed as a burger. If anyone wants to try befriending this weirdo I can open up--BYOL... that's bring your own ladder!

Sent a couple of ground blocks! That's good to know--I figured they'd be in stock for March only so we'd have to stock up or miss out.

Thanks a lot for the pipe, @Tales! You need one in return or something else?

Just to add that I see via the Nintendo Switch Online app that it runs "from 05/03 (Fr) 8:00 until 09/03 (Tu) 7:59 CET."

I'm pleasantly surprised they made those items available from today and didn't hold off until Mar10.

New Gilead | Stevo.

I have just done the same thing, @Tales (ordered the pi pie and first four Mario items). I'm flush with bells as I made a quarter of a million from searching the sea yesterday evening for a couple of things I didn't have in the museum, so I've gladly sent you the next two items--Floating block and Goal Pole. I was expecting to send five but the game says it's only possible to order up to two items per day through online shopping! If you want to send the same two items in return that'd work for me.

So what you're saying is... if I give you boys best friend status you'll bury free stuff around my island? Haha, love the reactions, @Nicktendo and @Helmsly! Don't you try interacting with every item to see what they do? Give it a go--there are some nice little touches in this game.

Just got around to checking what insects, fish and sea creatures won't be available once the new month comes, and... I need two sea creatures--a pig and a venus thing. I'll chase some sea shadows later during the footy and hopefully get what I need for the museum! I'm moving some buildings at the moment so the bells from selling already-museumed sea creatures will be appreciated. Young bamboo came back into season this week; we're getting back to where we started. I'm surprised to discover that it feels kind of sad in a way*. Hard to believe it's been a year--seems like I'm still only getting started with island life. Well, here's to another! And honestly, what would I do with my time without this daily charade: Me: Hi Blathers. Blathers: How may I assist you? Me: Assess fossils, if you please. Blathers: Hoo! What would you like me to assess? Me: THE FOSSILS BLATHERS THE FOSSILS!! Ahem. Anyway, as I'm getting stuck into the next phase of island "work"--spurred on somewhat by the realisation that I've played the game for so long and done so little--I've noticed for the first time just how flower infested the place has become. I've been running around without really seeing the flowers and now that I'm moving stuff, well, they're a pain to deal with! I haven't been going for hybrids; they've just taken over. I can totally sympathise with @Glen-i's struggles a few months ago when he was committing flower genocide. Digging up and selling flowers barely covers the cost of a replacement shovel. LOL. I'm just going to keep some of each type and colour for eventual breeding and stick a fence around them to keep them in check. Anyone know if you can grow pumpkins from pumpkins? I'm consolidating all my pumpkin patches, and have noticed my whites are all two's. I want three's! If the only way to grow more is from pumpkin starts, I think Leif still carries them, doesn't he? Can't remember if they're seasonal or not. (*Maybe it feels sad to be drawing close to Bunny Day again...)

Construction terminated. Gates open.

Most mind-blowing thing for me is that you aren't throwing apples?! Don't know how I missed that detail before.

No worries! I'll still be on in an hour--there's nothing quick about island designing. Drop a message here and I'll get the gates flung open when you're available.

That's cool. It probably makes sense if you have the means to enjoy P5 or P5R first that you'd want to do so.
