Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

If mew read Sunday's post mew will know the BBHQ boiler had been acting up again for a few days and we were pawsitively Baltic as the tempertaures had dropped by several degrees. 

But the good news was that Cat Dad went and changed the filter and gaskets on the heating oil tank again, and miraculously the boiler is working - THANK FLUFF - because it gotten even colder. The boiler chap is still coming out today to check things over and do the annual service, so hopefully we'll stay warm.

The rain stopped last week finally, and thankfully the flooding in the courtyard fluffed off, and luckily Cat Dad got the pump working at work just in time to stop the water entering the workshops.

The P.A. went to the local garden centre on Monday, and while there she found this Catmas tree ornament!

A fluffing Red T-REX, just like the ones in our latest adventure, Claws of Terror

What were the odds of that? There it was just hanging about waiting for a new home, so obviously the P.A. couldn't leave it behind, as who knows where it may have ended up! MOL

Now all we have to decide is, if it's Sawragon or LilyDeth, what do mew think?

Anyhoo let's look at this weeks headlines.

First up in the news 

 Fudge Up The Tree Again

Fudge got up to his usual antics this week, and decided that the tree in the courtyard needed some attention.

We don't know what it is with him and heights? Luckily he didn't venture onto the roof, as the tiles are really slippy right now.

  1. I'm glad your heat is working. It's cold here, too, so you have my sympathy.

    Up a tree is a great place to be for a view.

    Parsley, maybe you need to switch to an online only credit card and make sure no one else has the password.

    Great job, Melvyn! The pink one is so nice, perhaps it could be next.

  4. Thank goodness Cat Dad got the boiler working. It is far too cold to be without heat. It is too cold to be outdoors too, Fudge. Good job you have a nice thick coat.
    You are all very brave to allow that red T Rex in the house. Who knows what might happen next and it might try to breach the bunker from a different direction!
