On top of all that, their bills have arrived, and after paying them they are back to square one: they have a little under 500 simoleons, the sum they started with! Living on an expensive property and earning small wages doesn't seem to be getting them anywhere.
Still, they're not giving up. After hearing the news that there is a sale at the bookstore, Gary buys the recipe for ratatouille for 16 simoleons and learns it immediately. It's an investment into all of their futures!
Miranda and Stevie harvest more crops, although Miranda isn't feeling well.
Stevie is worried about their finances. Miranda consoles her. She believes everything will be all right.
The two visit the Al Fresco Street Market in the afternoon, while Gary goes to work. The autumnal colours have already begun transforming the town.
Stevie picks more fruit from a public orchard...

Re: Nectar-making is SUCH FUN!
... while Miranda practices chess. The science lab has offered her an award for raising her logic skill, but she will have to work hard to achieve this.
In the evening they meet Tilly at the Catania cafe.
"Queen Kong! I've earned a bonus at work! What about you?"
"I'm really enjoying gardening," Miranda says. She isn't about to admit to Tilly that financially it's not going that well.
Tilly seems to resent this answer. Her fiance Don Lothario is standing all alone, so Miranda decides to chat to him instead.
Don seems to enjoy Miranda's humour... or maybe he's just hungry?

Re: Nectar-making is SUCH FUN!
But there is a bit of good news after all! Gary gets a promotion and a bonus, and the household now has about 900 simoleons again. Not much, but still a step away from square one!
