 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy April! 

What another glorious week at BBHQ! The sun has been shining, meaning we've had oodles of sun puddles coupled with lots of lounging in the warms.

But it's still horribly cold at night, but we can deal with it because the days are so sunny! MOL

Oh, and just look at this, the hyacinths have bloomed!

If mew missed the long road to bloomage, click here to catch up.

They bloomed fully on the weekend; they are the first ones. There are some pinky coloured ones that are about to emerge, and all the tulips and anemones are gathering steam now, so perhaps in the next week or so, there'll be a blooming marvellous display.

We can't wait to see that, and of course, we'll be sharing it all here, so mew can enjoy the flowers too!

First up in the news this week...

 Pandora's Response to Smooch Wanting His Basket


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Pandora's Response to Smooch Wanting His Basket

When Smooch is outside in the garden, he always goes and gets in 'his' basket at some point for a snooze. But the other day, Pandora had beaten him to it.

And this was her response when he asked her to vacate...

Next up in the news...

 Smooch Is Not A Happy Camper


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch Is Not A Happy Camper

Smooch was not a happy camper when he arrived for his lunchtime catnap to find Pandora firmly ensconced in his basket.

It did get resolved later in the day, but Smooch says he's implementing measures to stop the future usurping of said basket! MOL

In other news...

Fudge Has A Question


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge Has A Question

Remember last week? When Fudge was willing the catmint to grow.

He was mightily fluffed off when he saw a pot full of hyacinths blooming and looking supurr colourful and pretty.

So he asked them why are they in full bloom and is the catmint is in some sort of stasis?

He waited twenty minutes for an answer, but none came, so in his frustration, he went and verbally blasted the catmint.

Needless to say, the catmint remained in its 'stasis' state and refused to be taunted into growth by Fudge. Who is now sulking somewhere in the bunker! MOL

Which one should he model next?


Here's the brand new April Bandana collection, hot off the sewing machine in the BBHQ Craft Room. These were made on Monday teatime under the expert eye of Fudge, who was hanging around the craft room and needed a distraction.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month.

1.  Ballooning with Furiends* ~ Blue

3. Peony Purrfection

*Melvyn modelled the Ballooning with Furiends with a white background last September, and we've been waiting to make the blue version since then. We just checked out the videos we posted in September, and there's a really cute 'get ready with me' where he's prepping for the catwalk run; OMC, it's so cute!

  2. That is not very ladylike, Pandora, after "borrowing" Smooch's basket. Fudge does not look happy waiting for the nip to grow, and Melvyn looks handsome in his bandana. The hyacinth is a lovely colour.

  3. #2 Melvyn. We think you look so handsome. And the idea of one kitty taking over another kitty's purrsonal baskie space, ridiculous. Lynn has seen some forsythia blooming and of course that means at least 3 more snows. One year she counted 9 more snows after! Heaven help us if that is this year!

  4. #5 and we understand that yelling or meowing at plants really WILL make them grow, at least that how I operate.

  7. We loved seeing you all, sweet pals. Fudge, we sure hope that catmint gets un-statis-ed pretty soon! Melvyn, how about Blooming Marvellous next week? XO

  8. Poor Smooch. I bet you could both fit in the basket. Melvyn, you are an excellent model. XO

  9. I'm glad the weather is now like what spring weather should be.

    Good luck with the catmint and the basket controversy.

    Melvyn, you are amazingly enthusiastic. I'm still pulling for the first one with the lovely balloons.
