Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

The weather has been lovely since the end of last week, with sunny spells and warmer temperatures, although the nighttime temps are still too cold. There have been a few drizzly moments, too, but all things considered, so much better than the last couple of months.

And here's some Spring hope...

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® The Hyacinth's Are Awake

The hyacinths are awake! WOOOO HOOOOO!

The P.A. planted a selection of tulips, anemones and hyacinths in the autumn in shades of mystic purples and, I think, with a splash of white for contrast, but don't quote me on that, as I wasn't there at the time of planting! MOL  

If they bloom how the P.A. is expecting them all to bloom, it should look pretty epic!

 And, of course, mew our lovely readers will get to experience the bloomage in two or three weeks, depending on whether we get another cold snap that delays things. Apparently, there's some snow on the way, but we'll see as the weather peeps, even with all the technology they have, still get it wrong. We love that Mother Nature fluffs with them! MOL

And isn't it funny, this supposed snow that's going to sweep up from the south in the next five days or so is being hailed - pardon the pun - as a nightmare snowstorm which is going to dump up to a whopping five inches of the white stuff. Seriously, why does the media have to sensationalise the weather with such terrifying headlines? Why? 

A nightmare snowstorm in our humble opinion is one of magnitude and measured in feet, not inches. For instance, the day the P.A. was born all those gazillion years ago, it was eight to ten-foot snow drifts, aka serious snow, and it lasted for weeks. Today, an inch of snow is a whiteout and totally terrifying. 

Anyhoo, that's our opinion on the weather! MOL  

Well, we've only got two more days of February left, so make the most of the Valentinesy vibes, as that will be replaced, and we'll have a brand new look for March to welcome and hopefully hurry up Spring! 

Anyhoo, let's look at what the heathens have been up to this week.

In other news...

 Fudge's Summer Shape Up


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge's Summer Shape Up

Fudge had to face reality yesterday and promptly decided that his Summer Shape-Up should start immediately.

And even though Pandora pointed out that it's probably just all floof, to help him feel a little better after he's spent the winter months bulking up for the great shred. 

Smooch added that perhaps he should have continued his training while in said bulking phase.

This did not go down very well.

And needless to say, he's hitting the gym in his BBHQ bunker with Parsley every day!

  1. Hooray for hyacinths! They have to sensationalize the news, it brings in ratings and more money. Also, I wonder sometimes if they overdramatize the weather because they don't want to be blamed if people are caught unawares by an especially awful weather event and are harmed or killed. Remember the scientists in Italy who went to jail for a while for not predicting an earthquake?

    The sunspot is beautiful and Monday is not. Melvyn, hide for me next week, too, okay?

    Fudge, I think you look great just as you are.

    The hearts are precious. Let's have some spring next week and a Spring Vibes bandana to celebrate!

  2. Lovely to see signs of spring. We have alternated between heavy rain and sunshine each day. Today we have both and then it should improve, but getting colder again. Hang on to your floof a bit longer Fudge! Smooch and Parsley, enjoy that bit of sunshine. Looking good, Melvyn. I choose #1 bandana for next week.

  3. Melvyn, you look furbulous. We choose #2 fur the garden scene and hope the fluffing 5 inches does not happen and cover the hyacinths. Lynn is starting to see tiny tips of daffodil leaves as the snow just melted yesterday. She's hopeful the tulips in pots actually work out. Fudge you will definitely make bird nest furs when you blow out the hair do.

  6. Ok, trying again, lol. We love today's pics, and the nearness of spring. Does Melvyn ever look snazzy in that fringed bandana! We like #2 for next week, the garden one, because we like the colors!

  7. You're all so precious. Yes you are.

    I pick #1 to start March.

  9. I'm all for number 2 for next week. He looks epic this week, modeling. I say another monster must come to live next to the runway again. I will keep looking for it as Melvyn catwalks down the cat walk.

  11. How about the owls next time, Melvyn? Smooch and Parsley, we hope that snow passes you all by, and that you soon have more than just a slither of sunlight to enjoy. And lots of blooms, too! XO

  12. I like #2 bandana!
    And your spring is popping up a lot sooner than ours.
    We get all that kind of sensational weather reporting here too...and they now put a name to every storm that blows through.
    When I was in grade school, we never had snow days unless the whole city was clogged up. But here, when our sons were in grade school, they close for even a few inches of snow. Sheesh!
