Nook Shopping has a new seasonal item for “Marine Day” in Japan. It’s a ship-wheel door decoration. It can be ordered now through July 22nd for 1,300 bells.

I ordered one yesterday and received it today. Since I didn’t have anything on my door, I decided to display it.

And yes, Agent S is sitting on a log stool that I use as an exit for my King Tut races. A bit later, I found Agent S on another stool nearby–a stone stool–near the oasis.

Gulliver was in town today, so I grabbed my shovel and dug up the five pieces of his communicator. He’ll be sending me a reward in the mail tomorrow.

Not much else was going on today. But I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.

Yesterday, Apollo told me that he doesn’t like sweet foods…except for apple cider vinegar. 🥴 Yeah, I don’t think that qualifies as sweet, bro.

Last night, I headed over to Alec’s town Onett to check out his new obstacle course.

We ran the race twice, and I actually beat him both times. 😛 I like the course; it has a good mix of obstacles (climbing, vaulting, hopping over holes/water, and going over beds/benches).

Today, I noticed that a space suit was on display in the window of Able Sisters. I guess they’re trying to appeal to the astronauts in town. 😛

I found Celeste in town tonight, over at the campsite. She taught me a DIY recipe for a lily wand. She never seems to run out of wand recipes to hand out. 😛 It’s almost as if she keeps conjuring up new ones with the wave of a magic wand.

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

Note: I do not plan on having Friday Night Forest this week.

Yesterday, Midge told me that she’s become obsessed with writing tools. In fact, she once paid 50,000 bells for a ballpoint pen! I hope it can write upside down for that price. 😉

K.K. Slider was in town, so I checked a list of songs to see which one I was still missing. After I got my answer, I requested the song: K.K. Jazz. Bones, Apollo, Tybalt, and Eloise also joined me for the show.

The funny thing is that I already got K.K. Jazz last August! But I have no idea why it wasn’t in my music player. I typically take songs to my music player immediately after the show. Maybe I forgot, and then sold it by mistake? I really don’t know. But at least I now have all 95 of K.K.’s songs.

Today was Apollo’s birthday, and I crafted a rocket to give him as a birthday present. He really seemed to enjoy the gift…and his party in general. Happy birthday, Apollo! 🙂

Tybalt the tiger was also there to help Apollo celebrate.

Right after I left the party, Wisp greeted me outside Apollo’s house. I collected his five spirits for him, and he gave me a cooler box. It’s not a new item, but it is a new color variation: It’s red! That was actually significant because it matches the cooler used in Arrested Development. So I swapped out the blue one (which I had placed behind my banana stand in Sudden Valley) for the red one.

For those of you also in the U.S., I hope you had a happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎆🎇

See you all next time!
