Busy Roost

On Monday, there was a camper at the campsite. But before I could go inside, I had to deal with Rio! She stood in front of it, almost as if she was guarding it. 😆

Rio: What a super evening, viva!

Once I did get inside, I found Colton the horse.

Colton: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Colton.

I wasn’t interested in keeping him, so I just let him ride off into the sunset. 😛 Unless Rio planned on keeping him for herself, I don’t know. 😛

Today is February 1st, and Nook’s Cranny is now selling Festivale items. I bought this Festivale confetti machine and gave it to Rio.

Tommy: Seems like you're interested in a Festivale confetti machine.

Also, the Valentine’s Day items (the chocolate heart and heart-shaped bouquet) are now available through Nook Shopping.

I went up to the Roost to get some coffee, and all of the stools were taken. Ankha and Leif were also there enjoying a cup of joe.

Jeff, Ankha, and Leif enjoy some coffee at the Roost.

And if that wasn’t enough, Kapp’n also came in for some coffee! Brewster is having a lot of business today!

Kapp'n: This be a fine spot to bring the family too.
Oh, no, Ankha and Leif aren’t my family.

Here are a few other quick notes from the past few days.

  • The Snowboy from last Saturday sent me a frozen mini snowperson.
  • Louie gave me a new nickname: Vitamin J.
  • My bank account balance reached 51 million bells on Sunday.
  • Wisp gave me a graduation gown on Monday.
  • Gulliver sent me a sombrero on Tuesday.

And just to confirm, I still plan on hosting Friday Night Forest this Friday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time (7 p.m. Pacific time). Anyone on my friend roster is welcome. I may not have anything new to show off, but we can run some vaulting pole races again.

Hope to see you again soon!

Quiet Winter Night

Last night, I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him, and he rewarded me with a storefront.

Wisp: Here, have... a storefront!

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town. I asked him for a random song, and he played Comrade K.K. for me and Rio.

K.K. Slider performs for Jeff and Rio.

I haven’t been rolling up many snowmen snowboys in New Horizons this winter so far, but I decided to make one tonight. He said he was perfect, so he promised to send me a reward in the mail.

Snowboy: You're looking at pure snowfolk perfection right here. But you know that. You made me!

Not much else was happening on this quiet winter night, so I grinded for a few thousand Nook Miles and then ended my game for the night.

See you next time.

Ankha’s House

Last Friday, I removed the blue pansies that were around Hornsby’s former home, and planted some gold roses in honor of Forest’s new golden cat, Ankha.

Ankha's yard, complete with gold roses.

I also stopped inside to take a look at her tomb home. She has a pyramid in here, which really takes up most of the room. She also has three golden caskets, and a few other golden items as well…including a golden, uh, “throne.”

Sunday was the Lunar New Year, and all of my villagers wished me a happy new (lunar) year. Indirectly, in some cases. 😛

Static: It's Lunar New Year today! So, here's to the moon havin' a nice new year!

On Monday night, I found a burglar hanging out around Marina’s house! At least, that’s what I thought…but it was just Ankha wearing her winter hat. 😛 Some of these animals (cats, in particular) look so different with their ears tucked into hats.

Ankha: So good to see you, me meow.

Yesterday, Phil was camping at the campsite…and I was not interested. Sorry, Phil, but town is phull. I mean full.

Phil, at the campsite: Ahoy. Phil is my name, and traveling, fixing things, and dance are my passions three.

Tonight, Kicks had his shop set up at the plaza, selling shoes, socks, and bags. Even though I didn’t do any business with him tonight, I saw him there as I exited Resident Services and headed up the ramp. So imagine my surprise minutes later, when I found him drinking coffee at the Roost!

Kicks, at the Roost: 'Allo, chum! Taking a breather, eh?
Me? What about you? I just saw you at the plaza!

I returned to the plaza to see if he was there too, but his stand was gone. Apparently he closes up shop at 10 p.m. and heads over to the Roost. That timing was pretty funny, though. 😆

Here are a few quick notes about recent visitors:

  • Gullivarrr sent me another pirate bandanna last Friday.
  • K.K. performed K.K. Break for me on Saturday.
  • Wisp gave me a first-aid kit on Sunday.

Also, I’m tentatively planning on having Friday Night Forest on February 3rd (a week from Friday). If you’re on my roster, please check the blog next week for any news or confirmation.

See you all next time!
