To my surprise, he eventually did swing the net. He missed the bug of course, but it was nice to see the attempt.<\/p>\nToday was the day of the Bug-Off competition. Because of that fact, Brewster wouldn’t let me work at the Roost today. But outside of the cafe, I saw Rolf walk up to a bug on a tree with his net drawn. He actually stood there in this position for several seconds without moving.<\/p>\n

Nearby, I saw Phineas! He brought me my tenth badge, the Good Host badge for having lots of visitors to my town.<\/p>\n

My town tree told me that I’ve had 54 visitors so far, so apparently it takes 50 to get the Good Host badge. Interestingly enough, beating all of your visitors with a toy hammer doesn’t hurt your chances of being considered a good host. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
After that, I decided to try catching some bugs for the Bug-Off. I caught a Miyamoto<\/span> miyama stag, which gave me the lead with In the garden shop part of T.I.Y., I bought some flower seeds (as I usually do), and Leif told me I get a happy bonus today!<\/p>\n After that, I resumed my bug hunt. I caught a jewel beetle and took it to Nat. It was good for 80 points, which broke my own record. He rewarded me with a butterfly wall. Unfortunately, it’s pretty ugly. I couldn’t bear to open my eyes to look at it.<\/p>\nNintendo<\/del> 64 points. Nat took it and gave me a wooden box as a reward.<\/p>\n![\"Nat:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/nat-wooden-box.jpg\")
As I continued my walk around town, I saw my first Jacob’s ladder! It was next to my pyramid.<\/p>\n![\"My](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jacobs-ladder.jpg\")
I took my daily fossils up to Blathers, and for once, I had a new one! It completed the archelon.<\/p>\n![\"Blathers:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/archelon-complete.jpg\")
I looked around saw that I only need two more fossils to complete my collection.<\/p>\n![\"Hold](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/silver-can1.jpg\")
It’s a silver watering can! It can water five squares at once. This will definitely come in handy.<\/p>\n![\"Leif:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/silver-can2.jpg\")

I also caught a cyclommatus stag, but I didn’t want to give it to Nat unless I had to. So I waited until 5:59, and saw that my jewel beetle still was the record-holder. So I hung on to my cyclommatus stag, and went into Nat’s tent for the awards ceremony. Yay, first place!<\/p>\n![\"Standing](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bug-off-first-place.jpg\")
After that, I decided to visit Club Tortimer. The first island I visited had nobody there but me. So I went back and tried again; this time, there was someone named Jo from the U.K.\u00a0 We caught some bugs and fish, and did some diving. But after 15 minutes or so, I had to go, so I said goodbye.<\/p>\n![\"Jo:](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/club-tortimer-jo.jpg\")
That’s all for today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with some Wi-Fi fun. Remember, I’ll be opening my gate at 7:00 p.m. London time. I hope some of the Europeans on my roster are able to make it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
