Month: August 2025

Last Saturday, Sydney the koala was camping at the campsite. I’ ve had her in my GameCube town practically forever, but I don’t particularly feel the need to add her to my New Horizons island.

However, I did opt to play a game with her…and I lost. No prize for me.

The next day, I visited June. She told me she was going to start charging me one bell to relax in her house! 😉

At least it’s affordable. She only charges the bear minimum. 🐻

Forest’s birthday season kept rolling on, with Bones celebrating a birthday on Monday (August 4th). I gave him a smoker that I bought at the shop, and he seemed thrilled!

Bone appétit! Ketchup was also at the party and on the menu.

Over at the Resident Services plaza, I found June, Bob, and Louie setting off some sparklers. 🎇

I ran into Pascal on Tuesday, and he said you need to pick a direction to get ahead in life. Sometimes that’s the hardest part!

After selling some stuff yesterday, my bank account balance reached a new milestone: 120 million bells.

My New Leaf savings balance is still larger (135 million), but New Horizons is slowly catching up. It’ll overtake New Leaf eventually, but it may take another year or more.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town and he performed “K.K. Aria” for me and Static.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week in Forest:

• Last Saturday, Gulliver sent me an alpinist hat.
• K.K. performed “K.K. Sonata” for me, Bob, Louie, Static, and Agent S.
• On Wednesday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 243,000 bells.
• Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me some pirate boots.

I posted my latest New Horizons Moments video earlier today, so I hope you’ll check it out.

Monday (July 27th) was Ketchup’s birthday. I bought her a cube light from Nook’s Cranny, and then I customized it to be red. I wrapped it up, and gave it to her as her birthday present.

She said she wasn’t expecting it, and she said she’d never forget it…but she never said she liked it. Oops. 😆

Louie was also at the party, and he said everyone was in party-flex mode. Whatever that means.

Out in the rain, I had a chat with my buddy Bob. We were standing by a toilet, and Bob said he makes sure that no one sits there.

That’s because it’s reserved for his grandma! Why would he make his grandma sit on a toilet out in the open, possibly in the rain? 😆

When I visited Peanut, she told me she invented a new type of D.I.Y. called ASTDIFM:

I thought she was about to ask me to do something for her, but she didn’t. I left her house quickly, before she could change her mind. 😛

During golden hour on Wednesday, Ankha asked me to catch a miyama stag for her. Fortunately, I already had one in my pockets. I handed it over, and she rewarded me with a snorkel mask. I actually decided to put it on, for no particular reason other than it seemed like a summery thing to wear. 😛

Today, I saw a balloon present flying through the top of a bamboo tree. It was able to pass through as if the tree wasn’t really there.

I shot it down and found a zen light inside.
