A Different Sport

Yesterday, Jolly Redd was in town (on his ship). He had three paintings that I see fairly often, and one that I hadn’t seen yet: the warm painting. So it was a no-brainer to buy that one. I also bought the small vase and simple chair that Redd had for sale.

For the first time, I tried group stretching with Joy-Con motion controls. For most of the stretches, the controls worked fine. But a couple of them caused some problems, and I was doing the wrong stretch. 😂

It’s like I’m playing a different sport.

The worst exercise was the jumping part near the end. The game didn’t recognize my jumps at all and my character just stood there the whole time. 😛

Louie was sick with a cold, so I crafted some medicine for him. In return, he gave me a track jacket. That was my 275th favor I’ve done for villagers, so I just need 25 more to complete the “Smile Isle” achievement.

Today, the warm painting from Redd arrived in the mail. It was the real deal, and I promptly donated it to the museum.

I took a look around my art gallery, and I noticed something interesting. Previously, when I tried to count how many pieces of art I needed, I was overcounting. There are a couple of places where the display card for the painting isn’t directly under the piece of art, and that threw me off. But after a careful look, I believe I only need four more pieces of art!

Back outside, there was another pleasant discovery: My orange hyacinths have finally produced my first purple hyacinth! I’ll need to pluck it five times so I can craft that hyacinth lamp that looks so cool.

When I visited Admiral, he taught me how to make some cookies. You gotta love that fresh-from-the-oven scent! 🍪

Admiral: You can have the recipe. I've made this so many times I could do it with my eyes closed, if I fart.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed a song called Chillwave. Marina, Louie, Bones, and Sasha joined me in the plaza to enjoy the concert.

Today, I posted New Horizons Moments #13. I hope you’ll check it out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂
