Yeah I have a friend who has invited me to play in her village tomorrow so looking forward to that.
Managed to bag some hard-to-get Amiibo cards on Ebay and trade this week. If all arrive safely I have 14/462 left to get, most of them way too expensive or hard to trade so I think I'll be forced to stop soon. I think I can get maybe 4 of them through excellent trades or not crazy money, it is doable if I am lucky but a fair few of them are just way too expensive and never up for trade.

So far, the bug-off seems slightly less of a grind than the fishing tourney, despite having exactly the same mechanics.
Not having to travel to water, shorter catch animations, and (in my town anyway) an abundance of flowers means I’m averaging more than 15 points a round. Fishing tourney was probably half that, so I estimate it’ll take about half the time.
In case you’re not aware of the rewards, 100 points total will get you a bronze trophy, 200 silver, 300 gold. This isn’t made clear anywhere, so if you want the gold, keep going to 300.
Weirdly, it appears I’d subconsciously trained my mind to ignore the crappy low value bugs scattered around, and I had to really spot them to start with.Last edited by Budge74; 27-06-2020, 09:01.

I’ve got one of those crazy meteor storms today.
It starts at 7pm and runs all night, I’ll open up just before. Celeste May make an appearance too.
Last chance to grab any of the bug gear too, before I flog it off to the Nooklings for pennies.
Tons of DIYs to grab too. (Too many to list).
My nips have peaked (!) at about 120. Again.

I've actually not played this for two days straight which is a bit of an odd feeling, but I think I'll jump in tonight to try and get a slice of the meteor show promised earlierLast edited by Briareos; 01-07-2020, 19:21.

So the update dropped at 7pm for me, and I was swimming at 730 (after getting in some Rocket League).
You can buy the swimsuit at Nook's, I'm expecting a few colour/design variations.
You'll also find a letter from Nintendo with a snorkel mask. I got a pink one and sent it to a couple of people. Always happy to get other colours!
There is a Bamboo Branch for Tanabata (July 7th) in the Seasonal tab in Nook Shopping, and under the clothing section there is an "Other" section with the swimsuits.
I didn't get any of those special things that get you Mermaid series stuff, but it's raining at my place tomorrow so I'm going to be dredging the entire ocean looking for them. You do also get a third section of creatures to go with insects and fish, although this one is half the size.
The biggest question for me now is: is there a visitor who will make models of the creatures for you, like CJ does for fish and Flick does for insects. If there isn't I'll just sell everything I don't donate and save myself some more storage space.
