 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

What a glorious few days at BBHQ, the weather has been sun, sun and more sun! The temperature reached a decidedly heady 24 degrees Celsius yesterday, which is more like a mid-summer temperature, but we're not complaining in the slightest! MOL

Fudge is feeling a lot happier this week as his beloved catmint plants are now growing. This one below is the one that started his upset, but just look how much it has grown in the last month. Click here to see the original photos of both plants.

This one below has gone pawsitively bananas, and is putting the one above to shame! MOL

It's absolutely epic!

First up in the news this week...

 Parsley Enjoying The Warms


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Parsley Enjoying The Warms

Parsley was flat out on the lawn enjoying the warms on Monday, well, we say lawn in a rather loose way as it's full of dandelions, clover and other early spring wild flowers.

We've given up on trying to have a pristine lawn. One that's like a bowling green; it's just not going to happen without oodles of chemicals and other nasties.

And we don't use chemicals in the BBHQ garden because it doesn't just kill the weeds, so a natural lawn it is, and the wildlife and insects love it, and if they're happy, then we're happy.

Plus, the bees and butterflies need all the help they can get, so we are helping! MOL

We've also got oodles of tadpoles in the pond. Normally, we rehome the frogspawn, but this year that didn't happen. And it's a good job we didn't because apparently, due to the lack of rain over the winter months, many of the wild ponds, ditches and other natural watering holes have all dried up around us, and the frogs have all died, so sad. 

But hopefully we'll have frogs abound at BBHQ, and the P.A. has even bought some special frogspawn food to bulk them up and assist them on their journey to fully fledged frogdom! #epic MOL

Next up in the news...

 Fudge Is Supurr Fuzzy

Fudge was feeling supurr fuzzy and all kinds of floofy the other day after he'd seen his catmint plants flourishing, he even thanked the P.A. for the extra watering duties she's been carrying out this week.

In other news...

Smooch's Relaxing Snoopervisor Spot

This was Smooch's preferred snoopervising spot while he carefully instructed the P.A. in the art of sweeping the patio and other general tidying duties.

The P.A. said. "What would I do without your expert guidance, Smooch?"

He replied. "Mew'd be really fluffed!" MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Melvyn loved this bandana; he spent ten minutes rolling all over the place before the P.A. managed to get this photo! MOL

So much cuteness is happening right now! MOL

W.D.G. (Were Dee Go), aka the invisible monster behind the sofa, who then went on a winter vacation, arrived back at BBHQ late on Caturday evening. How do we know? Well, there were signs. For instance, several duty-free shopping bags appeared in the bunker, and none of us had been anywhere. 

Plus, W.D.G. has taken a shine to Pandora's Broom Cupboard, next to my office in the bunker, and he's been rearranging her crystal collection. Then he tidied up the Control Room, and he even reorganised Humphrey's laboratory. But he seems to end up back in Pandora's magic empawrium. She doesn't mind, though she did leave him a polite note instructing that under no circumstances should he read any of the books in the locked section of the bookcases on the back wall.

Cod help us if he does! MOL

Which one should he model next?


Here's the May Bandana collection, and as we've been talking about Spring with the bees and bugs, plus lots of sunshine and flowers, plus a bit of teatime, we think we've curated the purrfect collection!  

And we've given mew five to choose from, even though we only needed four, OH MY COD, the utter excitement of it all! MOL

  1. Guys! Those tulips are awesome! Almost as awesome as Fudge's catnip blooming so nicely (finally)! Parsely, Fudge, and Smooch, you all look great today. And Melvyn, we'd like to see you in Globugs next week. XO

  2. What delightful tulips! I am so glad the catmint is growing as well.

    It seems you all had a good week. Melvyn, that is a wonderful bandana and a great pose. It would be nice to see either the bees or the glowbugs (I like both) next time.

  3. I am glad your catmint is growing well at last, Fudge. Those tulips are beautiful. It is good to see everyone enjoying this beautiful weather, which makes me choose Mr. Sunshine for next week's bandana. Melvyn looks very handsome in his bandana.
    I am glad the elusive WDG is back.

  6. Love to see that catmint growing so well! We leave the dandelions and any other wild plants alone and don't try to grow grass only, too. What cute kitty pictures today, all of them! Go Melvyn! We like globugs for next week.
