Gulliver sent me a hula doll in the mail today. I also received my calm painting from Jolly Redd, and it turned out to be authentic! So naturally, I donated it to the museum.

While I was there, I stopped in the Roost to get some coffee. Brewster asked me if I wanted some pigeon milk. As gross as that sounds, I said yes. But this is one of those times I’m glad video games haven’t emulated the sense of taste.

Shortly after 6:00, I attended K.K. Slider’s show. He performed K.K. Hop for me, Hornsby, Eloise, and Louie. As soon as the song started, my three villagers whipped out glow sticks! I couldn’t do that, but I could clap. And when I clapped, they also clapped (but only with one hand, because they were holding glow sticks).

I took Kapp’n’s boat ride to a mysterious island, and I arrived on a winter island for the first time! Snowflakes were flying, but apparently it wasn’t the holiday season on that island. So there were no ornaments to be found.

Back in Forest, I moved my ironwood kitchen from outside and put it in my basement. I may make a kitchen…but then again, maybe I should put my gyroids down here and put the kitchen in my left room instead. Regardless, I made a new stonework kitchen to put outside (so I can now cook inside or out).

As for outdoor decorating, I’m also considering removing my oasis and replacing it with something else. I may try some things out in the coming days.

On Wednesday night, I bought an ancient statue from Jolly Redd’s shop on Harvey’s island. I knew it was a fake when I bought it, but it makes for a good decoration. However, there was also another benefit to that purchase: Redd replaced it with another work of art the next day!

It was a gallant statue, and it turned out to be fake…but that’s okay. Because now I know that I can keep refreshing Redd’s inventory by buying a work of art every day! So there is a reason to visit Harv’s island every day, at least until your art gallery is complete. If you don’t buy anything from Redd, the selection apparently only changes once a week (on Mondays).

Celeste was in town last night, and she taught me how to make a starry-skies rug.

Today, Gulliver was in town. I dug through the sand to find the five pieces of his communicator, and he promised to mail me a prize.

Apple taught me how to make some pumpkin soup, and it’s a nice easy recipe: All I need is three pumpkins to make it! I have plenty of pumpkins in storage, so this will be an easy thing to make whenever I have cooking as one of my Nook Miles+ goals.

A new seasonal item is available, and it’s called a chitose ame. You can order it now through November 20th, at a price of 1,000 bells.

Redd had a calm painting for sale today on Harv’s Island, and I bought it. I’m not sure if it’s real or fake. Today’s mysterious island had tomatoes, so I plucked them all clean.

Back in Forest, I bought another cup of coffee at the Roost. As I was about to walk out the door, Brewster told me he had something for me!

He gave me a recipe for a Roost sablé cookie; it just requires flour and sugar to make.

Wisp was in town tonight, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me an impish costume.

I then went diving and found a scallop. That prompted Pascal to pop up, and he gave me a pearl…and some pearls of wisdom.

I posted my latest video yesterday, Wi-Fi Moments #20. If you haven’t seen it yet, please check it out.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!

Louie sent me another work of art in the mail today, a serene painting. It was real, but I didn’t need it. I also got my scenic painting from Redd in the mail. It was authentic as well, and I donated it to the museum.

I was hanging out in my gyroid room when Apple started yelling at me! She had quite an ultimatum for me!

I went back to the main room to let her in, and she gave me an orange that totally wasn’t poisonous. (Yeah, right.)

Later, I returned a lost item I found to Apple. She rewarded me with an athletic outfit.

Out on Harv’s island, Katrina’s fortune telling stand was now available to use. For 1,000 bells, she can tell us about our luck for the day, or she can tell us about our friendship with a certain villager. I asked about my friendship with Static, and she said the two of us are bound together by the strongest of bonds.

I paid her another 1,000 bells to ask about my luck for the day, and she said that my luck with friendship will improve. I seriously doubt that, but okay, sure.

Next, I went over to speak to Harvey. He confirmed that this area is now complete!

Since the shops here only seem to update their inventory once a week, I may soon just visit weekly (unless I need to have a certain item customized that I can’t do myself). Cornimer has already given me more acorns than I’d normally acquire in a year, so I can’t see many reasons to keep coming back multiple times a week.

Kapp’n later took me to a mysterious island, and it had some odd path markings on the ground. But it also had some pumpkins growing.

Pumpkins are the one vegetable I don’t need, since I have tons of them in storage. But perhaps I’ll find some other vegetables on another island one day soon.

That’s all for tonight, but keep an eye out for my next Wi-Fi Moments video, coming in the next day or two. You can always find my latest videos here.
