Today was another lovely day in Takoyaki! Roswell had me and Wendy over at his place! His place is very cool (there's even a pool table an everything!). He made us some (soft) drinks for Wendy and me and we had a lovely chat. Turns out Roswell is a big music fan. He's really into K.K. Slider's Jazz album and he wants us all to go watch him perform soon. Apparently, he'll be here Saturday, but it seems he also performs as a D.J. on another island not far from here. Wendy's kinda hesitant (not her vibe), but I'm willing to try it out!

I then decided to take the train today and have dinner at this restaurant called "Kintaro", instead of eating leftovers. It's great! They have some amazing noodles and sushi. I had some lovely ramen 🍜 with some pork cutlets, some egg and mushrooms (and it was pretty spicy! 🥵). I had never been here before, but Wart Jr. insisted I should come (apparently, him and Billy come here often. Even after dark! Seems like the restaurant is seemingly a bar after hours, too).

On my way home I ran into Kiki! Or rather, I scared the bejeezus out of her! Poor thing, I didn't mean to scare her! I told her it's a bad idea to stay up late watching scary movies (the one time we did that movie marathon at my place, at least we had a slumber party!). It doesn't help that we keep hearing more noises coming from the abandoned tent near the forest. Isabelle and Mr.Nook have announced they will be closing the entrances because it's not safe... Seemingly, two cops (Cooper and Booker, I think?) will be coming over to investigate. Last year, a couple of people went missing! I know I shouldn't, but I may take a peek soon... 👽🌛

It's late and it's time to go to bed (I know my room is a mess, please don't judge me! 🥲). I should've listened to my own advice and not stay up late reading scary manga... 😰. I wonder what exciting things will happen tomorrow in Takoyaki!

Today was a surprisingly hot day, so I decided to dress appropriately 😅. You can tell that spring is making its way in full force! I decided to walk around the rice paddy fields! Usually, you'll find Joan and her grand daughter wondering around the fields, too. They bring Turnips from back home but they will also work the fields in Takoyaki.

I bumped into Renée near the convini store. Seriously, I can't imagine someone hoarding up 40 fish in an aquarium! (Unless they were really baby fish 🐟🐠🐡).

This conversation with Renée made me wanna do a little fishin' around. So I grabbed my cane and decided to head near the shore.

The wonders a cold can of apple juice can do at the end of a long day... 🍎

It's another lovely day in Takoyaki! And guess what...it's cherry blossom season! I just love seeing how beautiful the trees across the island look. I simply love sitting around the park, watching cherry blossom petals fly around 🌸 . I'll admit, it's very relaxing!

And look who it is! The renewed artist, K.K. Slider, came here to visit Takoyaki. Billy and Renée are here since early in the morning to listen to him play some tunes. By 6pm, he'll be throwing a concert and I assume plenty of people (including Roswell, one of his biggest fans) will be there.

I bumped into Wart Jr. and Kiki as well! Wart Jr. was telling me all about the new electric work he's been doing at his place (I've insisted that he call an expert, but he just won't listen).

It's lovely to see that Renée and Kiki are getting closer as friends! Ever since Bunnie moved away, Renée has been feeling a little bummed out. They used to just do everything together! I was actually worried Renée would've packed her bags and leave, too! Luckily, Kiki and her have become a lot closer. They're not exactly alike, though. Kiki loves spending time at the Museum and the local library, whereas Renée... she really like watching shows, going out for a nice meal and just chilling. We'll see where this friendship will go!

The day was so lovely today with the cherry blossoms, I decided to have a little picnic of my own. I went a bit overboard, but I had Renée and Kiki join me as well! We talked about what Kiki might be planning on doing for her bday, which is coming up 🍰🎂 She said she'll probably do a small party at her place. Which reminds me... I need to find her something soon!

On my way to the convini, I realized that Timmy and Tommy had put up the Halloween decorations! I completely forgot it's October and Halloween is coming up. Everyone in Takoyaki takes Halloween extremely seriously! Graham always hosts a Halloween costume party (which I love) and he always gets first place!

I decided to then go home and try out some of my potential costumes for Halloween. So for this year I was either thinking of going as Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle or as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. I know, neither one of these is truly scary but it's all I have for now...
