Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends
Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!
Happy Wednesday, pawesome furiends, and thank mew so much for dropping by. Relax, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.
Well, as we said on Sunday, it's been dull, duller, and pawsitively dulling until yesterday, when we actually had a sunny, warm day instead of wind and frigid gusts, with rain just as an added mood spoiler! MOL
The forecast for the next few days is warm, warmer, much warmer and perhaps even scorchio, but we'll let mew know if that prediction actually comes to pass! MOL
What’s the weather like in your corner of the world this week?

The Bottle Brush Tree
This is the P.A.'s latest garden purrchase. Now there's a little story here. Way, way, way back in 2011, she was in Tasmania, way down under, and she saw many bottle brush shrubs and instantly loved them. She went and bought some seeds, brought them all the way back to the U.K. and gave them to her dad to grow.
They didn't - it was a huge fail! MOL
Anyhoo, last week at the garden centre, she peered up the rise (it's on a slope) and sticking out above everything was this tree.
The P.A. was like a moth to a flame, and before Cat Dad knew what had happened, said tree was winging its way to BBHQ!
Super Fairy Rambling Rose
This is the new rambling rose, bought for the garden arch; it'll take a couple of years to really cover it.
We shared it last October, not long after it had been planted.
And it's grown quite well, so it must like where it is. We'll give mew updates as it rambles over the arch, we are so excited to see how it will look... eventually! MOL
Raspberry Ripple Roses
This is still one of the P.A.'s favourite roses in the garden. Yes, all the roses are all meautiful, but this striped one is next level!
She bought a yellow version last year, but until she goes into one of the flower beds and does some severe weeding, we're not sure if it survived. We'll let mew know.
>^.^<
Something weird happened on Monday, Fudge's Magical Menagerie post seemed to be missing, then it appeared later, so if mew missed meeting Glimmer, one of Level 16's supurr cute magical creatures, click here to catch up!
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
First up in the news this week
Tea Time with The B Team
Tea time with four of The B Team, and just look at Fudge, eyeing Pandora's dish, rather suspiciously, the little snack monster!!! MOL
That's so Fudge!!!
Next up in the news
Amber's in The Basket
Meanwhile, Amber was reclining upstairs in her favourite basket... she'd already had tea ealier while the heathens were outside, and then the P.A. carried her upstairs! MOL
In Other News
Pixie Near The Duck Pond
Well, here's a nice surprise, this is Pixie, Smooch's mum. She lives with Nanny and Grampaw, and this is the little pond, aka paddling pool, that the P.A. put up last year for the ducks.
Pixie was just checking that the on- and off-ramps were still in good order before the pool was emptied and refilled, ready for the imminent arrival of the ducks.
If mew click the link above, mew can see the ducks. They are so funny, they waddle about everywhere. Cat Dad sometimes has to get out the lollipop on the forecourt so they can cross safely!!! MOL
Finally this week
Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick
Bugs and Bugs won by a landslide, and here's Melvyn doing his supurr meowdel thing! MOL
Please don't ask us what this pose is, we don't know, but we think, maybe, that Melvyn is entering his 'experimental phase!' MOL MOL MOL
We asked him, and he told us to fluff right off, because we wouldn't understand... fair enough! MOL
Which one should he model next?
Here's the June Bandana collection, and we chose a really fun selection for mew this time.
And we've decided to give mew five to choose from again, even though we only needed four, OH MY COD, the utter excitement of it all! MOL
The June Collection:
2. Cakes for Cats
5. Mice Cream
Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments, mew've got four left to choose from!
Thank mew for joining us today, mew know how much we love your company!
Amber will be back on Friday with another pawesome book just for mew, plus updates on the Library's mood, and if mew missed any other posts, here are the links:
The Sunday Selfies with Parsley
Fudge's Magical Menagerie Episode 3 with Glimmer
Hoping mew have a furbulous day, and remember to always...

The plants with "bottle brush" style flowers are amazing. Then again, you seem to work great magic in your garden there.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a pond for ducks at Nanny and Grampaw's house.
Melvyn, you are just being you, which works well. I hope we get to see mice cream next time.
You all have so very much going on in your lives. What fun you must have in your garden with those beautiful roses. I'll send over my herd of deer and they will not get rid of your weeds but they will truly enjoy the flowers. Love seeing that Amber had her tea before everyone else and she should and she's pretty much the queen.
