Seven cats sit in a vibrant autumn scene filled with pumpkins, sunflowers, red and orange leaves and fluttering butterflies. A sunset glows behind the forest, scattered newspapers lie among the foliage and one cat shouts from a speech bubble, “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” The central text announces the Midweek News Round‑Up with The B Team in a bold, seasonal style.
This week on the news: blooming marvellous, snacks abound, a sneaky hot-spot heist, and Pandora's pride and joy! MOL

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for stopping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weather Report

Well, it's been a bit of a damp squib week, overcast, dull, damp, and a bit breezy here and there.

In fact, a totally boring week! MOL 

Oh, we forgot to mention the fog - it's been foggy all week, every morning without fail, but we like the mist!

This Week's Flower Offering

Remember the late-blooming dahlia from last week? Well, here it is in all its glory!

A stunning pink dahlia in full bloom in the BBHQ garden, showcasing layer upon layer of beautifully shaped petals in delicate shades of rose-pink, with subtle buttery-yellow highlights near the centre. The intricate, tightly curled inner petals create a gorgeous floral display, framed by lush green leaves and softly blurred garden foliage.

It's blooming marvellous! MOL

A lot of the other flowers are now dying back, but this one is still going strong, well, until the first frosts!

Anyhoo, here are this week's top headlines.

First up in the news

Smooch Heading Indoors for Snacks


The adorable Smooch, a white-and-black cat looking a little grubby after exploring the coal heap, trots across the pebbled courtyard at BBHQ, heading indoors in search of tasty snacks. Behind him, the rustic red-brick cottage, autumn-yellow foliage, lavender bushes and a small Buddha statue create a charming autumn garden scene.

After a little expedition into the coal heap, again... Smooch went into the library to see what was happening in there, and said:

"I need snacks, stat!"

And he promptly headed off over the courtyard to the house! MOL

Parsley's Flat Out

The handsome Parsley, a glossy black cat, is completely flat out and enjoying a well-earned snooze at BBHQ. Sprawled comfortably across a black-and-cream patterned rug, with one front paw stretched onto the neighbouring natural jute carpet, Parsley looks utterly relaxed and blissfully unbothered.

Parsley has been loving the woodburner being lit... he got front and centre, hogging it all... until...

Finally this week

 Melvyn Took The Hot Spot


The adorable Melvyn, a handsome white-and-tabby cat, has cheekily claimed Parsley's favourite cosy spot at BBHQ! Sitting snugly in a perfect loaf position on the black-and-cream rug beside the glowing wood-burning stove, Melvyn looks utterly content with his paws tucked neatly beneath him.

Today we've got another bunker picture for mew... finally! MOL

 Click these links if mew want to see what we've shared of the new extension so far:


On top of the new bunker entrance is Pandora's Astro-Observation Deck, where she stargazes most nights and puts together the monthly Meow'o'Scopes for mew all. It's a completely different vibe from her Magical Apothecary!

A spectacular new addition to the BBHQ bunker, Pandora's magnificent Astro-Observation Deck, featuring Wing Commander Basil in his signature red beret and black tactical armour alongside the beautiful, fluffy tortoiseshell Pandora, dressed in matching futuristic gear and a flowing purple cape. Beneath an enormous glass-domed ceiling revealing a dazzling star-filled sky, the luxurious observatory boasts a gigantic brass telescope, glowing holographic planetary displays, sophisticated astronomical equipment and gleaming gold-trimmed consoles. A neon-purple “ON AIR – Pandora's Meow'o'Scope” sign illuminates her dedicated cosmic broadcasting studio, while the breathtaking countryside stretches towards the horizon beneath a glorious sunset. A fabulous fusion of cutting-edge feline technology, celestial wonder and BBHQ's unmistakable bunker extravagance.

The P.A. has asked for exclusive access, but Pandora says she needs to book it well in advance!!! MOL
