Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends
Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!
Happy Wednesday, furry floofers, and welcome to this week's hot gossip. Firstly, let's give mew the weather report. It cooled down somewhat from the scorching 33 degrees Celsius a week ago, on Monday, the 3rd of July, and we were quite happy about that, as it had been way too warm. So, we've had mid-twenties, and on Monday, it got down to just 20 degrees. It felt cold, as the wind was blowing a bit wildly. Sunday, it rained on and off for most of the day, so the parched garden and trees really enjoyed that.
And talking of rain, or the lack thereof, the poor garden is parched, the flowers are wilting, and the trees are even shedding leaves. Yep, it's a bit hardcore, as normally English summers are a total washout; we get a couple of nice weeks and then it just rains, but this year is the total opposite. We think it's because of the moon being out of phase, and speaking of which, we haven't seen it recently! Have mew?
So here's this week's flower picture, the only one worth showing is the supurr happy daisies, as they're not wilting! MOL
Aren't they pretty?
Additionally, we've noticed a significant increase in butterflies over the last week or so, along with more bees, which is truly lovely.
And the hedgehogs are still visiting every night for snacks. So far, after awakening from their winter hibernation, they've eaten nearly 20KG of kibble! MOL
Here's one of the little snack hogs, or as we call him/her, Fuzzle, at the watering hole!
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
First up in the news this week
Smooch on Morning Garden Pawtrol
Smooch enjoyed a nice morning pawtrol yesterday, the wind had eased up and it was really rather clement.
As he happily approached the gazebo, Fudge asked him, how his recently vacuumed basket was going?
We can't repeat Smooch's reply! MOL
Next up in the news
Pandora's Stealth Operation
Operation: Catch The Really Humungous Pigeon!
The other day, Pandora was on a mission as there's a pigeon the size of a small pterodactyl at BBHQ, and quite frankly, she just doesn't like it!
Parsley was flat out and totally zonked by the window late last week, and he was really enjoying those summer wiffles! MOL
Finally this week
Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick
This week, Melvyn is modelling the Catastic Cats bandana, as voted for by mew last week.
He's looking epic as always!
Now this is the really strange thing. We thought Melvyn had modelled everything from his bandana collection at least once, if not twice; however, this one, we can find no record of it ever being worn before, unless in the computer fritz that happened the other week, it's accidentally got deleted???
It's on the far right, sixth row up from the bottom... We were sure he had worn it before, as we wanted to share the videos if he had!
And here's a quick, W.D.G. update: the invisible BBHQ monster, who did live behind the sofa, has now moved out into the shed. Don't ask us why, although there was a note that said, he's sulking because he didn't get invited to Melvyn's pawty last Friday. We left another note in reply, saying:
'Dude, we thought mew were there, even though we couldn't see mew!'
Melvyn is currently preparing a gift basket to help smooth the situation.
Which one should he model next?
Here's the July Bandana collection, and we chose another really fun selection for mew this time. And we've decided to give mew six to choose from, even though we only needed five, OH MY COD, the utter excitement of it all! MOL
That's us done for today. We'll be back on Friday, so do join us then, as mew know how much we love your company.
And if mew missed any other posts for the last week, here are the links:

Y'all sure have some nice area to patrol. That hedgehog is pretty cute and that's some bandana collection!
ReplyDeleteGreat news that it's cooled off a bit there. We hope you get some rain to help out the garden. In the meantime, we love that you were able to get outside there at BBHQ, Pandora and Smooch. Snooze on, Parsley.
ReplyDeletePopcorn Purrlease next week purrlease, Melvyn! :)
P.S. - The hedgehog is so cute.
Does Pandora not like the huge pigeon or is she hoping for wowser of a snack?
ReplyDeleteMelvyn, I really like the way you model this bandana although I'm still hoping for In the Jungle one of these weeks.
Yes, I did see the moon today, during the day, and it's very close to full.
It has cooled down here as well, but getting seriously hotter again from tomorrow. I have had to take up my poor Mesembryanthemums because I think they wore themselves out keep opening in the sun. They flowered all together and have no more buds coming, and are limp and sad looking.
ReplyDeleteI usually see the moon when I go to bed. It is still not where I consider it should be at that time of night. At least it is not as far north as it was, but more to the west, but still too low in the sky. We live fairly high up and have a clear view down over Cornwall. If we lived at a lower level I probably wouldn't know the moon was there!
You have very hungry hedgehogs! Everyone is looking good. I vote for jungle as it is very colourful.
you all look furbulous. And we love daisies! We too have a humid cool down fur just a couple days and glad fur it. Love you Melvyn.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and wow on all those bandanas. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI pick #6 for next week.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥
Just love the garden with kitties pictures and, does Melvyn ever look snazzy in that bandana! We like In the Jungle for next week!
ReplyDeleteI vote for in the Jungle bandana. OMCs I just started a new book title: Moon Signs. It is about retired teachers (sisters). They are really into the Moon and meanings and are amateur sleuths.
