Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, supurr furiends, and thanks so much for dropping by. Relax, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ this week.

Here's the weather report: Well, after last week's supurr scorchio heatwave, it cooled down on Caturday, then even more on Sunday, the heavens opened Monday, and it rained all night. 

And yesterday it was a mix of clouds and sun all day with a high of 19 Celsius, which is much more tolerable than last week.

Those high temperatures in the U.K. are suffocating, as it's so humid and unpleasant. We even got the portable air-con unit out, as the bricks warm up and then the house gets hotter and hotter until it heaves with heat due to the extra-thick walls.

Anyhoo, we like this week's weather better, and on Sunday we helped snoopervise in the veggie garden as the P.A. and Cat Dad planted: runner beans, peas, broad beans, lettuce, courgettes, tomatoes, mini cucumbers, all types of peppers, more tomatoes, more lettuce, shallots, and beetroot. 

Plus nasturtiums as sacrificial plants, oh, and there was some basil, not me MOL, and coriander planted too, as the older herbs had wilted too much in the heat.

Cat Dad is planning to set up an irrigation system once the planting is finished. There are a lot more empty pots, and the P.A. will hopefully get some more compost and a few more plants next weekend, and we're done there.

Here's this week's flower offering, this time we're sharing the rose in the courtyard and the one at the back of the summerhouse.

The blooms are incredible!

We'll share more flowers next time, and if mew're wondering where this week's jigsaw puzzle is, there isn't one as last time's absolutely crippled them emotionally!!! MOL MOL 

There are still two more to go, so don't worry, we'll share those after the P.A. gets over her boggle!

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news this week

Fudge's on Garden Pawtrol

Fudge enjoyed a lovely garden pawtrol the other day, well, he does every day, but the P.A. managed to snap him in action, well, sitting there assessing everything! MOL

Next up in the news

Smooch's Chillaxing Under The Gazebo

Smooch got himself under the gazebo for a nice chillaxing session; he knows where to get! MOL

 Parsley's Deep in Flower Garden

And Parsley decided to go off the beaten track, deep into the flower garden and get himself cooled down on one of the large moss-covered rocks for the afternoon. Yep, what a place to be! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

The Psychedelic Feline bandana is this week's top pick. Last week we thought the P.A. might have finished the new collection, but sadly she didn't, so this month we're returning to some summer favourites!

Doesn't he look epic?

And as he modelled this bandana way back in March 2023, we have videos to share again!

Check out Melvyn's videos on your favourite social media channel below, and he chose classic 80s tracks to strut to:

TikTok - Katrina and the Waves

Instagram - Bronski Beat

YouTube - Yazoo

 

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:

1. Caticorn

2. Cakes for Cats

3. Psychedelic Feline
