Jan 2nd :
The morning started with an overly excited Nook trying to figure out the microphone to make morning announcements.
He did apologize for being louder then he thought he would be. You can’t blame him for being excited. He has some great news to share with everyone. The airport is now open. So we can now travel to other islands. We can also mail letters.
He also let us know his friend Blathers has now joined us on our adventure.
He let us know that he will hold announcements every morning to let us know any important information.
As I left my tent I had some mail. One from Nintendo congratulating me on my move . Inside was a DIY for a simple work bench.
The next was a photo. I didn’t recognize who was in it but I’m sure I will meet them soon . They seem pretty happy and friendly.
The last letter was from mom asking how the move was. She sent me some oranges. Will have to find a place to plant them later.
I found a note in bottle on the beach. It had a DIY for a kettle bathtub in it.
I then headed to the plaza. There was an announcement about starting aerobics. Sounds like a great way to start the day.
I then headed over to welcome Blathers to our island.
He told me all about his dream to make a museum. He let me know we needed to have 15 exhibits to open it.
I went ahead and started to catch some bugs for him. That’s when I learned he really doesn’t like them.
I don’t blame him as I react the same to wasps. I am surprised I was able to catch one.
Blathers was kind and gave me a DIY for both a shovel and a vaulting pole .
I spent the morning looking for crafting materials and creatures to donate to Blathers. While I was shaking trees trying to avoid wasps a few bells fell out.
I keep seeing these presents floating in the sky. I’m sure I need a slingshot but will have to figure out how to get the DIY.
I crafted a shovel and was hitting a rock when a gold nugget came out.
The DIY recipe is for a king tut mask.
After breaking a few tools I decided to craft the simple workbench.
This way I can carry it with me to make crafting easier.
I hope I can find some recipes for better tools soon.
According to Blathers we now need 6 more exhibits.
It’s been a busy morning. I think I will spend the afternoon exploring the other side of the river.
