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.
