Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge, Hanging Out In The Garden with Parsley AND Melvyn's Doing A Spot Of Burd Watching **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We'll be sharing the winner of Fudge's epic birthday giveaway on Friday's post, so stay tuned to see if it is mew. 

And mew might remember on Sunday's post we mentioned that we were transplanting a few seedlings, well we planned on watching while the P.A. did all the work and transplanting! MOL

Here's a snap of some of the self-set seedlings prior to being moved.

Some of the plants are tiny, like the lavender, they are not even 1 cm or 1/2 inch tall, so they have to be extracted with much care. The good news is they are now in pots or other places around the garden which we'll share next week.

First up in the news this week

Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge

This week Fudge went on a sneaky covert mission to see what the neighbours were doing!

Who knows what he'll get up to next, but stay tuned for more Follow the Floof.

Hanging Out In The Garden with Parsley

Parsley is such a reliable dude, he always stays in the garden and loves reclining on the mill-wheels just watching the wildlife, buglife and birdlife go by. 

Sometimes he hides in the border, and he's completely undetectable when he goes into his full Purredator mode.

He laughed himself silly the other day as the P.A. was looking for him for an hour, and she'd walked by his hiding place half a dozen times and didn't seen him until he finally decide to uncloak and appear as if by magic in front of her. 

The P.A. did mutter a couple of unspeakables as he made her really late for work. 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Doing A Spot Of Burd Watching

Melvyn doesn't get out in the garden very much these days as he's a total liability. So when he does go outside he's heavily snoopervised in case he decides to take a little unauthorised trip around the village again.

Anyhoo, he did enjoy his last outing a few days ago and he loved watching all the burds at the burd-feeder squabbling over the seed.

He was literally transfixed by them! MOL

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.

Memories of Eric and Flynn asked on last week's News Round-Up: 

 Fudge what happened to that tuft of fur on your left shoulder, day 4?

Fudge says, "Well it's a really funny story, and if mew haven't seen the aforementioned tuft, click the day 4 link above and check it out on TikTok! Now I'll tell mew about the tuft, when I first arrived at BBHQ way, way back in the day and the P.A. released me from the carrier into the downstairs office, she noticed that same tuft sticking up and she thought it was some loose fur and tried to pull it off. It didn't come off because it is furrmly attached to my purrson. It is actually located in the centre of my back between my shoulder blades, and it has some long, whiskery strands supported by a floofy tuft, I like to think of it as a special antenna of sorts, a magical extension if mew will, anyhoo I can tell mew this it is very sensitive to touch!" MOL MOL 

I hope that answers your question.

That's us done for today, though we will be back on Friday with the first Friday Fluffers of the current season, and if mew missed Monday's post click here to catch up on our epically epic 10-year blogoversary celebration!

**It's The BBHQ 10 Year Blogoversary!**

Epic Monday Greetings Pawesome Pals 

Welcome to another week at BBHQ and a furry special post.

It is exactly ten years ago today that we published our very first post from BBHQ, and although the original post was changed in 2019 and updated, the fact remains that it was the start of our cat blogging journey. And in that time we have written over 2000 posts, 2059 to be exact and that's a lot of words for a bunch of heathen cats to write.

Who knew that we'd still be writing the blog after ten years, and averaging 200 posts per year, that's a new post every 1.825 days, wow, that's some dedication!

And along the way, we've met the best peeps and cats mew could ever wish to meet in a lifetime, so not only is this a celebration of our milestone achievement, but it's also a celebration of friendship within the pet blogging community because without that community and all our wonderful epically epic readers, visitors and furiends we wouldn't have made it this far. So in essence without mew, we wouldn't be here, so thank mew furry much for your continued support and loyalty.

When the blog originally started it was just me, Basil, but then everypawdy else wanted a turn and it soon became a furmily affair.

Here is the exact text from my very first post at 20:17pm on the 27th of June 2012:

Greetings, salutations and many purrs to all my wonderful furriends in Cyberspace!

It's marvellous that my human aka Cathrine Garnell has finally given in to my constant pestering and made me my very own blog. I know that I have my own Website, FaceBook Page, MySpace Page and a myriad of other things going off, but I felt left out without having my very own blog.

You can use the links in the sidebar on the to visit me around the Interwebs, as I tend to get about a bit and you can follow my human via Twitter and Pinterest too directly from my page and if you want to follow her elsewhere, visit her blog by clicking the link below: 

Cathrine Garnell's Blog (this blog is no longer active) 

So here it is, my new blog on the Interwebs and I do hope that you visit often!

And here's a little tidbit that I bet mew didn't know, I didn't actually get my own purrsonal log in until the 23rd of May 2013, after the P.A. decided that I was dedicated enough to warrant one.

And then we started to write our serialised stories which began with: 

The Pink Flamingo Saga in 2014 

 The Curse of The Klepto Bunny 2015

 The Extraordinary Adventures of Captain Basil 2015-16 

 Pirate Q&A ~The Secrets of The Voyages of Captain Basil Revealed 2016 

 Fast, Furry and Dangerous 2016-17

 The Last Big Jolly 2017

 The Clockwurk Labyrinth 2018

Sadly the P.A. hasn't written anything since her accident in 2019 when our Mogwarts Adventure should have been serialised. She feels really guilty she hasn't been able to share anything new for so long, but maybe this is the kick up the backside she needs to make it happen.

We used to make a lot of collages for our Sunday Selfies posts.

Just trying to get new photos of The B Team each week was a job in itself! MOL

And to finish today's little celebration here's a new furmily pawtrait of all The B Team in our secret bunker at BBHQ.

Just seeing us all in the bunker is rather inspirational and makes us want to go on an adventure! 

Thanks for joining us on a trip down memory lane and we hope mew liked seeing some of the older images today.  And we can't believe how much fun stuff we saw, it's been a real treat and reminds us why we do what we do at BBHQ! MOL

We'll be back on Wednesday with another Midweek News Round-Up and the winner of Fudge's Birthday Giveaway!

Have an epically epic day

Angel Posie's Epic Outdoor Selfie on The Sunday Selfies & Caturday Art Blog Hops

Epic greetings supurr furiends

Welcome to another selfie selection, and when we were looking for some special photos for tomorrow's post we came across this beautiful picture of our tuxedo Princess Posie and just had to share it again.

 Angel Posie's Epic Outdoor Selfie

This ameowzing throwback is from the 14th of August 2009, when Posie was having an epically epic excursion down the field.

We're also joining in the lovely Athena's Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - Cartoonizer DLX + colour changes to contrast, highlights, exposure and brightness.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 9 mins 24 secs. 

Anyhoo it's time for us to go and snoopervise the Sunday Roast as Grampaw and Nanny are coming for lunch as they couldn't make it last Sunday for Father's Day, and after that we're going to do a spot of gardening. Well, we're not, we're going to watch the P.A. transplant all the baby catnip plants which have been growing in the gravel in the courtyard into one of the big tubs as they're big enough to move now. There are also self-set; snapdragons, aquilegia, lavender, chives, cat mint, water figwort, lupins, foxgloves and purple mullein which all need moving to new homes around the garden.

We hope mew have a totally terrific day, and look forward to your company in the morning when we're sharing a supurr special post, so do join us then.

Wishing mew lots of snoozy snuggles

Supurr Sunday Purrs
