@UMR - Thank you, and good luck to you as well! You got that reference right off the bat while I at first thought Rorys_Tamas was referring to Club Penguin
Now it’s time for the third major recap log with (hopefully) just one more to go.
==Lundi Juillet 3rd==
{Note: Lundi (lun-dee) means Monday and Juillet (jwee-yeh) means July.}
At 11, the vendor showed up selling escargot. We already had this so we refused. Around 1-ish, I took Sotilde and Araz (my V3) on what I believed to be a walk. That merged into doing different things with my mother outside. Eventually I came back in around 3:30. At 6:48, I paused Sotilde to take a shower. I unpaused her at 7:50 and set her 2 hours off so I could have her around for longer. At 9:04, I set everyone and Sotilde up to watch a movie but due to fixing headphone problems and dinner descending on me, the movie never happened. Sotilde winked out during dinner, likely at 10.
==Mardi Juillet 4th==
{Note: Mardi (mar-dee) means Tuesday}
At 1:36, Sotilde was paused along with the rest of my brood because I went to play badminton with my mother. At 2:47, I came back and unpaused. The vendor, at the right times, offered things we already had so nothing was bought. Sotilde had an average day, eventually winking out in the late evening. I showed my brother my “sleeping hedgehog”.
==Mercredi Juillet 5th==
{Note: Mercredi (mair-cruh-dee) means Wednesday.}
1:04, the vendor showed up with the same folded pastry. We refused him. I paused Sotilde shortly after as my mother wanted to play badminton. At 2:05, I unpaused Sotilde and kept her 2 hours off. She had an average day and winked out at 10.
==Jeudi Juillet 6th==
{Note: Jeudi (juh-dee) means Thursday.}
At around 10:35-40-ish, I took pictures of Sotilde and her connection with Wostilde Ampersand, my Akai (named after Wostilde the deceased). They played some kind of betting game and Wostilde Ampersand won the first, but Sotilde won the second.
Sotilde was 24 that day (also including her c-click animation).
At 1:01, the Vendor showed up with the same balloon, again. I speculated that maybe he had some old stock he wanted to get rid of. At 7:03, we were offered a roll (“rool” in my notes) thing by the vendor. We refused since we already had it. I took Sotilde out walking in the evening. My notes read “She stayed in a stand with my V5”, which I presume is after the walk, since I don’t think I ever took my tama stands with me.
Sometime later, I entered Sotilde in two races, set my hopes on spot number 1, and she won both of them! I gave her a thumbs up, as strange as that sounds. She later winked out around 10.
==Vendredi Juillet 7th==
{Note: Vendredi (vawn-druh-dee) means Friday.}
I entered Sotilde in a race around 1:06 and she out ran the other competitors by a HUGE margin. So I let her celebrate with a victory drink, which caused her to stagger around. One heart was filled and adding alcohol into these versions (Keitai, Akai, and Hanerutchi) was quirky and a touch disturbing. But Sotilde, at the impressive age of 25, is definitely old enough to drink.
I guess there is some partial hypocrisy/irony that I never want to drink but I’ll let my tamagotchi. Although, I’m sure somewhere down the road I’ve eaten something cooked in alcohol.
At 7:06, the vendor offered the same roll and we refused. A little before 8, I went looking for my father to see about my walk. I went outside and noticed the torrential downpour, indicative of a thunder storm. I later got Sotilde and my Akai to take pictures in front of the window.
I had to used artificial light and monkey around with the angle so that I didn’t block the light. Her buddy winked out on her and I only really liked these two shots and heavily prefer the one when they are out of the stand. This was also around the time I got shots of Sotilde’s current age.
==Samedi Juillet 8th==
{Note: Samedi (sam-dee) means Saturday.}
At 10:54, I paused Sotilde and took a shower. I later unpaused her at 1 and at 3:30ish, took her along with me to the church picnic. It was a bright, sunny day and she stayed in my hand, getting a good view of the car. It was only me and my father going, but we were commanded by my mother to bring back food for her and my brother. Eventually we arrived around 4 at the camp site and I put Sotilde in my secret pocket in my shorts.
I don’t go to the Church picnic’s for socializing but rather to help out my “boss” and the other refreshment team. Due to her husband suffering an accident shortly after we arrived, she went with her son to a clinic and left her daughter-in-law in charge. I knew her daughter-in-law well since she also helps in the ESL program, and we quickly got to work preparing hamburgers and hotdogs. I checked on Sotilde during breaks, pulling of my disposable plastic glove to handle her. She was as manageable as always and I actually played a game with her openly at one point (sound off, though). Later, after most of the people had been served dinner, my “boss” showed up with her husband and her son. Her husband had gotten 11 stitches in his ear and looked like Frankenstein at closeup.
Later, when most of the packing up had been done, I walked over to where my boss was. For a good amount of time I had wanted to show her my tamagotchis but was never quite sure. So with little premeditation, I think I told her I wanted to show her something and then I pulled out Sotilde. “Do you know what this is?” I asked. She tried to say “Tamagotchi” and mentioned that they were big things in her childrens’ times. Along with that she also asked if my Hanerutchi was expensive, obviously having heard something of tamagotchis, and remarked that I must have been really young when I got one (definitely, those were my brainless days).
Later her husband appeared and I showed Sotilde to him. Right before I did, Sotilde went to the bathroom and I quickly cleaned her up, averting my most feared disaster experience. So my old girl got to be shown off like a prized pony ;^)
Me and my father then returned home, Sotilde out on my lap listening to my remarks about the event. At home, things were average and she probably conked out at 10.
==Dimanche Juillet 9th==
{Note: Dimanche (dee-mawsh) means Sunday.}
I took Sotilde and my V5 to church with me. As usual, they sat beside me in my bag in their special box. A short time after the service, we all got in the car and headed to the apartment of the couple who had invited us over for lunch. They were quite elderly and had a fair bit of church history. My mother was worried about her table manners because she, and supposedly me and my brother, did not “grow up white”. My father apparently did, and all that really means is he ate with a knife and fork as opposed to his hands (hence he always leaves allot of meat on the bones, compared to us who tear it off). I wasn’t worried about my table manners since I did know how to use a knife and fork, even though I had been so rarely given them.
What I’m implying is that I’m mixed since my mother is East Indian (from Trinidad) and my father is white (from Canada). Yet despite this, my mother often mentions neither me nor my brother are Trinidadian, and also she does not want us to set foot in Trinidad. (To this day, the only time she has used the appeal of my heritage is when she wanted me to come with her to hear steel pans at a park.)
Anyway, the building the elderly couple lived in was quite ritzy and when we got into their apartment, it was right out of a magazine. Half of the living room walls were windows and one could look out and see the city and the rippling, endless mass of water. They also had an enclosed balcony which looked like it was the perfect reading nook. Everything was so artfully and neatly arranged with little trinkets scattered about the room (you know, in the kind of so-neat-and-detailed-nobody-lives-there). Now my tamas were with me since I took my bag also, but they didn’t get a chance to look around because of the circumstances. But, I did check on them occasionally and very discretely.
We had a typical Sunday lunch (which is not so typical for my family because we would of had leftover Chinese food XD). There was some conversation drifting around the table and it was a bit confusing for me talking to the man since my mother referred to him with “pastor” and I wanted to call him by his first name (probably should have used Mister <last name>, but I sorted of avoided using his name at all). Thankfully he did have a sense of humour, which made things less threatening. The conversation was partly the past church life and mostly how the man met his wives. He had been married twice before and ended up marrying his current wife when she was 62 and he was 65 (I wouldn’t mind ending up like that). We stayed a long time and my cold was acting up that my father managed to get me excused to go attend to myself. I don’t remember when we left but I’m guessing mid evening. I was exhausted when I got home so paused my running tamas and slept from at least 8:30 to 1 a.m., having a few awake moments before I slept the rest of the night.
I really have no clue if I unpaused anyone or not.
==Lundi Juillet 10th==
An average day where I was still a bit sick, so I wasn’t particularly attentive. But I think Sotilde fared fine since she has never been needy.
==Mardi Juillet 11th==
At 1:00, the vendor showed up and offered a 1200 gotchi melon. We didn’t have enough, to his “astonishment”. At 7:00, the vendor offered the same bumpy pastry that we already had. Sotilde, as has been the case for the past days, hung out in a stand while we ate dinner and watched a movie. I turned off her light sometime after 10 and tomorrow will mark her 30th day.
==Mercredi Juillet 12th==
An average day where Sotilde was eclipsed by
glitch findings in my Dream Town. The vendor offered us things we already had so there was no spending that day. I did intend to celebrate her 30th day but that really didn’t happen, but I imagine my hedgehog is the patient sort.
==Jeudi Juillet 13th==
At 1:02, I bought the trumpet! Sotilde now had a new toy, which actually really fit with her singing c-click animation.
At 6:59, the vendor showed up offering a roll, which we already had. Earlier we donated 180 gotchi to the King. We would have done so earlier but I didn’t know that the amount were 10-90, and not everything we owned. She had an average day, but made a bit more special with the trumpet.
==Vendredi Juillet 14th==
At 6:59, the vendor offered a 1100 gotchi lobster but we didn’t have enough. Previously he offered something we already had. Sotilde was 32 and hand an average day.

Chopping here because this is a decent length. I’ve been backed up by schooling and my note taking has suffered, but I hope to make one final recap post before logging more consistently. I would really like to do consistent logging because something rolls around that is just so interesting but it ends up getting buried in a recap post.
) Love him! So thanks for being in this
