Rio Life

I was a bit surprised to see K.K. Slider in the plaza on a Monday. But it does make sense, because the Bug-Off was on Saturday and the fireworks festival was on Sunday. I told K.K. I was feeling a little blue, and he played King K.K. for me and Beardo. It was actually pretty good.

Rio has officially moved into town and started her Forest life, so I went in to greet the island’s first ostrich villager.

Rio lives on the northwest cliff, which I have been calling Eagle Mountain since the spring of 2020 when Keaton lived up here. Perhaps I should give it a new name now that there are no eagles around. Of course, ostriches are birds, so maybe I could call it the Bird’s Nest?

I prepared an apple smoothie, and it earned me 3,000 Nook Miles. I have now prepared over 500 food items, so I’ve completed the “Mmm-Mmm-Miles” achievement.

I remembered to go to the hospital on Lottie’s Island for my usual Monday visit, and I scored myself 50 turnips.

In the eastern part of town, I’ve started to remove my space race obstacle course. I’m hoping to have a new obstacle course up at some point in September.

See you again later in the week.
