Eloise taught me her signature reaction today: Love! ❤️

Now that I’ve finally learned to love (like the tin man), I am full of emotions. Or at least, my reaction list is full. 😛 I have all 59 reactions that are currently in the game, although I imagine Nintendo may add more in the future.

When I visited Apollo, he started ranting about the syrup that they put on snow cones! He said that all the different colored syrups taste the same. He thinks they’re all banana flavored!

But then, he mentioned that his doctor thinks his sense of taste is off and needs to be tested. So I guess that explains that. 😛

My replacement bridge was completed yesterday, but I didn’t actually remember it until today. So I missed the completion ceremony; it was too late to do it today. But here’s a look at the bridge that’s now made of stone instead of logs.

I updated my dream town tonight, although it was done in the evening. So it’s not exactly sunny in town. But still, it lets you see my new UFO area if you’d like to check that out. The dream address is 6717-1633-3682. And I will try to update it again during daylight hours very soon, perhaps within the next day or two.

Later on, I spotted a rare sight outside of town hall: Four villagers singing together! Apollo, Tia, Apple, and Tybalt all sang in unison. How cute! 🙂

Flick was in town, and I sold him eight bugs for a total of 39,000 bells before wrapping up my game for the night. As a reminder, there is no Friday Night Forest this week.

Late on Sunday night (technically Monday morning), I found Wisp roaming around town. I recovered his spirits for him, and he rewarded me with an exit sign.

On Monday evening, I saw that Deirdre the deer was camping at the campsite. But I was definitely not fawning over her. She’s nice and all, but I did not invite her to move in.

Eloise wanted to play a “game,” but it wasn’t really a game. She wanted me to give her my unfinished puzzle (in exchange for a mystery item).

I turned down the offer, and she told me to let her know when I stop hating fun.

Well what do you know? I guess she really is a snooty villager after all. They may not show it very often in New Horizons, but I saw a glimpse of it there.

I finished up my new area, and you can see it at the beginning of my latest video, New Horizons Moments #8.

This UFO spotting area is located where my amusement park was. I also demolished the log bridge near there, and I’m in the process of replacing it with a stone bridge. The log bridges were built in the early weeks of Forest, and I just used the cheapest option at the time. But I’d like to change at least some of them to better-looking bridges.

Today, the Nooklings were paying 317 bells per turnip. So I grabbed my 1,400 turnips out of my house and sold them all for a total of 443,800 bells.

That earned me 2,000 Nook Miles for completing the 4th (of five) goals for the “Cornering the Stalk Market” objective. However, the final one requires ten million bells worth of turnip sales, when I just topped one million. That will take me a while, especially since I rarely buy turnips. 😛

I found a lost item near the fountains, and it was an exercise book. I returned it to its owner, Louie. He gave me a thick-stripes shirt as my reward…which he called a “big-ticket item.” I hope he was joking, but who knows what he’s thinking? 😂

See you next time!

K.K. Slider was in town last night, and he performed the song “Stale Cupcakes.” That’s a good song! Midge and Tia joined me for the show.

After the show, I went home to do some crafting. As I browsed through my list, I noticed that the document stack is made from scattered papers…and scattered papers can be made from a document stack! So you can take one of those items and craft it into the other one, back and forth endlessly, with no additional materials needed. This could be a very helpful thing to keep in mind for Nook Miles+ goals!

It was raining in town, and Bones told me about a game he likes to play: Run Around And Scream. 😱

Later on, I made a fairly significant change to town by removing the amusement park. It’s been a part of Forest for a year now…almost to the day. But it’s time to move on to something different. The new attraction will be much simpler, but I’m still not done with it yet. It’s tricky getting the spacing just right.

This morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae…for the first time in two and a half months.

Just a heads-up that a cheese wheel (officially called a double Gloucester cheese) is available as a seasonal item.

Down on the beach, Eloise pinged me and taught me the sighing reaction! I’m surprised there were this many snooty reactions I still needed (and I still need at least love).

I wonder why Claudia didn’t teach me more of these things!

Tia asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “with cream,” so I told her to say “in my tea” instead.
