It was K.K. Slider night, and K.K. had another new song to play: K.K. Bashment. Hornsby, Static, Apple, and Agent S were also at the show.

These new songs sure have some strange names! Bashment, Khoomei, and Chorinho were my last three.

Today’s mysterious island was a cherry blossom island. It’s a pretty place to be, but I didn’t think of it as being very useful.

That is, until I checked the message bottle there: It had a DIY recipe for a sakura-wood wall, which was actually one that I didn’t have yet! I also got a gold nugget from one of the rocks there, so the island was more helpful than I expected.

At Resident Services, I decided to pay for the next expansion of my storage (even though I still have a lot of space remaining). The price was a bit shocking, though: 900,000 bells. But I’m going to need it sooner or later, so I went ahead and paid it off.

It just annoys me that we can’t pay for these upgrades directly out of our account. I had to clear out nine inventory spots for the bags of money I withdrew, before I could make the payment.

By the way, the arrival of December did not bring any new seasonal items. I was a bit surprised by that, but maybe we’ll get some later in the month.

On Wednesday night, I found Eloise enjoying some coffee in the Roost. And then Orville also came in for some coffee to-go.

When I visited Eloise yesterday, she told me that my hobby is none of my business. 😂

She continued on, saying that she was curious about none of my business. 😂

Today, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles by fully completing the Executive Producer Nook Miles goal. Apparently, I’ve now harvested 1,000 vegetables…which sounds like a lot!

Celeste was in town, and she gave me a large star fragment. Meanwhile, Hornsby and Apple were resting on a bench in the background.

Leif was the latest character I’ve found enjoying coffee at the Roost tonight.

When I flew out to Harv’s Island, I saw that Leif was not there. He must leave the island for the day at 10 p.m., which is an hour earlier than Tortimer! I would’ve expected Tortimer to have an earlier bedtime than Leif. 😛

Today’s mysterious island was another sugarcane island. These islands are starting to lose their appeal a bit. You know what I’d like to see? A gold nugget island! Gold nuggets are so hard to come by. If there’s a star fragment island, there should also be a gold nugget island, in my opinion.

Have a good weekend! I’ll be back again tomorrow.

On Sunday, Forest had its first snowflakes of the season.

The snowfall was very light though, and it barely showed up in screenshots. But at least it meant that I didn’t have to water my vegetables.

When I took Kapp’n’s boat ride to a mysterious island, I arrived on a star fragment island for the first time. The best part is that the rocks yield a variety of zodiac fragments. They’re usually hard enough to get when they’re in-season, so this is quite a rare haul. Not to mention they look pretty in all the different colors. 😛

The island also had vines, although I’m starting to build up a substantial stash of those by now.

Today, Agent S was talking about music shows on TV. She was really getting into it. I mean, really, really into it.

The mysterious island today was an autumn island. There were lots of mushrooms, acorns, and pine cones on the ground.

There was also a tarantula up on a cliff that tried to get me. But it disappeared once it reached the edge of the cliff.

Back on Forest Island, I ran into Wisp. I gathered up his spirits for him, and he gave me an outdoor folding chair in return.

Note: Yesterday, I finally posted my full New Horizons review. Check it out if you’re interested.
