It's been weeks since the curry exhibition, and so far, things have been pretty uneventful, not that I minded. It was nice to relax at the manor for a while, but I haven't spent all my time there. Of course, I went out for performances. My crowds have gotten bigger ever since the competition, so I was sure to do them frequently, as not to let people down, but other than that, I've had to return to my actual house in the real world every now and then to keep up my usual duties there, keeping things clean, watering plants, mowing the lawn and making sure there wasn't a break in. I also stop by to get a break from the cold weather, considering it's summer in my world.
