Turning Over A New Leaf: Episode 20 – ‘Twenty’s Plenty’

More of those famous Dalby oranges appearing, and very soon lots of bananas down on the south beach if I’ve anything to do with it.

It’s not as if anyone goes on the beaches except me.

(Or that mad gull to kip on it)

One moment camping is the best, the next sentence she says she’s bored.

There’s no way you’re going to be a Dalby resident if I’ve anything to do with it Apple. Not until a psychiatrist has set up shop first.

Isn’t it amazing how often ‘fun’ = ‘Voirrey gets screwed over royally’?

On the other hand, whenever insects are involved the laws of barter are forever in my favour.

A mosquito is worth 150 Bells. A banana 300 bells. Go figure. It’s not as if they’re rare. Some days they appear in pairs so you catch one only to be bitten by the other.

Why are insects prized so much above all other items? Are they using them to blackmail Blathers with considering his childhood traumas from them?

Perhaps I ought to tell them all they need is a webcam in the dinosaur section and before the week’s out they’ll have enough dirt on him to last a lifetime.

Perhaps best not, if what I’m beginning to wonder about Camofrog and Fauna is anything to go by.

Both of them telling me to be wary of rumours on the same day? Hmmmm, what have you two both been getting up to, what with you living so close to one another on either side of the town hall?

Cookie gave me a playable djimbe drum in return for the butterfly I caught for her. I feel so guilty for my cynicism now.

This led me to giving Saharah a second chance. Which I was to regret.

He asked you to leave. I’m not surprised.

Scrub that, I am surprised.

I’m surprised King Nook did not have you at the least disemboweled with a rusty blade so that swarms of flies could devour your entrails from your still twitching carcass if the Del Boy Trotter redecoration job you gave my home again was anything like the one you gave his, you skeet.

I got a free gift from Sylvia, despite my reservations…

How does one ‘use’ a poinsettia – gently or otherwise?

Moreover, do I really want to know?

She actually said ‘warehouse’ but I bet your morning tea went all over the screen at that one.

A large First Nations phallic symbol? No thanks.

On the other hand, they might get ideas about a wicker man again if I don’t. Decisions, decisions.

I need a break.

It’s the songs that are half the fun of it all, y’know!

Lots of brilliant new items for the musuem or high value resellables – I should do this more often.

Underwater chases for the best items are great fun, even if they more often than not end up with the little skeets escaping beyond the roped off area where they stop mockingly a fraction out of reach. The chambered nautilus can truly go turbo when it wants to (when I’m chasing it).

All too soon, it is time to go home.

Back to another of Kapp’n and his silly sea shanties.

Back to Dalby, back to another official opening and all the rest of what entails daily life in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

I hope this little series has given you a fun overview of what it’s like playing the game, and perhaps buy it yourselves. I may revisit this again some other time.
