 Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Jumpin' juniper berries, what a week it's been... the weather has been horrid, apart from a couple of brief spells of sunshine - Smooch and Parsley will share these rare moments further in the post - and things have just gone WRONG!

Firstly, let us apologise for not hopping in all the blog hops last week, as we usually link up on a Friday; our interwebs service decided to go on the fritz, and the router failed in the most dismal way. Then the power kept tripping out at the most inopportune moments, the boiler decided to take a vacation, and all in all, it's been a really fluffing fluffed-up week.

The P.A. hasn't made the new bandanas for October - it's Monday afternoon - she's going to try and magic those out of the ether later today, but we'll see. However, if she doesn't get a chance, we'll share the fabric samples temporarily so mew can choose like normal, which one Melvyn will model, and worst-case scenario, she can make them this weekend.

Anyhoo, let's look at the lovely Harvest Moon, which was shining brightly last week! MOL

And now, let's look at this week's top headlines before there are any more fluff-ups! MOL

First up in the news this week

 Smooch and Sauce In A Brief Sun Spell


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch In A Brief Sun Spell

The P.A. was planting some new perennials, and mew might notice that she cleared out the pot behind Smooch and planted a new shrub to the right of Parsley below, so we'll see what that's like next year!  (These two pics were about an hour apart.)

Smooch and Parsley also snoopervised the planting of more perennials in the front border and made sure that the P.A. watered them in properly, though she needn't have bothered because if poured with rain later on! MOL

Oh, and some of the leaves were cleared up, too, but that was a waste of time, as there are about 10,000 more on the gravel now! MOL

Next up in the news

Pandora's Really Miffed


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Pandora's Really Miffed

Pandora was really miffed, as the P.A. promised that she'd get the fence painted, and it hasn't happened, so the poor P.A. had to suffer Pandora's wrath, as the chances of it getting painted now are slim to none. 

And apparently, there's a weather event of unprecedented magnitude (supposedly, but hopefully not) headed over Britain between now and the 6th of October. We looked at the radar maps, and if it's correct, most of Britain will be flooded.

But we'll keep mew posted on that... we're purraying to Cod and any other deity who may be listening that it misses us at BBHQ and at the P.A.'s work.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


And here's Melvyn modelling the final bandana for September, Panda-Monium!

He was on top form this week; his modelling took less than 2 minutes. Seriously, he was pawesome! Though he did stop and smell the runner in the kitchen twice, we did wonder what had tickled his nostrils, but we remembered that earlier, there had been some catnip action with Fudge and Smooch, and maybe there were a few traces of the green stuff left! MOL

Oh, and he took a diversion around the bar stools to mix things up a bit this week! MOL

Check out Melvyn's videos on your preferred social media channel:

  2. We hope you go steampunk next week, Melvyn!

    Sorry to hear about your bad weather, and those internet and power issues. Such a mess! We hope this coming week goes much better for mew.

  3. I vote for the steampunk too! I hope the terrible weather that has been forecast avoids you. We have been lucky and only had "normal" rain this week or mostly showers. Good modelling as always from Melvyn.

  4. Melvyn, how about Halloween Cats? Pandora has a right to be miffed ifn yer gonna git flooded out. Tell that storm to head back to Ohio, USA. Our drought since August 1, is still goin' on. Got a bit of drizzle yesterday and today, but it only makes Lynn's hair turn into cotton candy. Precious

  7. Looking good Melvyn! I like all October's picks, but those spiders are my favorite. Hope you don't get a lot of rain. XO

  8. I'm glad you caught at least a little sunshine and the flowers were put in. As for the fence, there's always next year, weather permitting.

    The spiders tickle my fancy and I am praying for protection for you and your whole country from whatever this crazy weather is.

    As for the being unable to get internet, it happens, I'm just glad you got back. A friend of ours had a line cut and it's been 6 weeks, the workers who repair things are on strike and they don't know when they'll get service back.
