TZ sent me a letter today, along with a pretty tulip wreath. She said I should give it to one of my villagers. Thanks, TZ.
The August Bug-Off was held today, and I participated by competing in five rounds of bug-catching action. I scored 13, 5, 15, 8, and 6 points. After the last game, my net broke. Between that and back-to-back single-digit scores, I figured that was a good time to stop. 😛 But at least that 15-point game was my personal best of all three Bug-Offs so far.
Flick told me that my total points from all Bug-Offs surpassed 100 points, so he will be sending me a prize in the mail. Of my 48 (current) points, I redeemed them for an artisanal bug cage, a bug wand, a butterfly backpack, and a spider web.
During the Bug-Off, I caught my first robust cicada and my first walker cicada. I donated them both to the museum.
After the competition was over, I gave the pretty tulip wreath to Apple. She seemed to like it, and in return, she gave me her photo!!
I just got Lopez’s photo yesterday, so I was surprised to get another one today! I put it on the wall in my bedroom (with my other villager photos). The quote on the back of Apple’s photo says “One rotten apple spoils the barrel.”
Back outside, Hornsby said that since the Bug-Off was over, it’s time to let the bugs go home. Nice idea, I suppose…but Hornsby didn’t catch any bugs. And I already sold mine to Flick. 😛
On my 6th dive, I found a scallop, and Pascal found me. He gave me a pearl in exchange for the scallop, and he wondered aloud if otters should be called Bob.
I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow night. Hope to see you then!
