At the top left, a cat appears to shout beside a speech bubble that says “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!”. Bright pink and blue flowers sit below the cats, with blue‑and‑white stripes and pink starbursts in the background.

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.

The weather, well, not much of a report, more of a frigid washout with a few sunny spells here and there. The temps have been very cool, the rain very wet and rather offensive with big, chubby drops, and the sun, when it appeared, warm but not warm enough.

However, according to Cat Dad's weather app, this weekend it will get back towards normal June temperatures, with a possible high of 26 Celsius on Caturday, so we are really looking forward to that! MOL

And then the UK weather peeps are predicting another supurr scorchio heatwave, allegedly, with a huge red alert starting around June 19th/20th with highs of 34C in certain places - so prepare for instantaneous combustion like a vampire in sunlight from that date - we'll believe it when we see it. 

Mew know what makes us MOL so much is when mew see weather maps now that are essentially inferno hell maps: deep bloody crimsons, angry dangerous reds, vile unpredictable oranges, and all the colours completely unnecessary in weather descriptions. 

We remember the good old days, with a nice little pale green map of the UK, and cute stickers of a yellow sun, a white cloud, a cloud with rain, a cloud with rain and lightning, a little gusty depiction, a sun and cloud, etc... 

What we want to know is why all the red tones? Odd! MOL

Here's this week's flower offering, two fantastic foxgloves.

A tall flowering foxglove stands in a lush green garden, its vertical column of bell‑shaped blooms fading from pale green buds at the top to soft purple and white speckled flowers lower down. Dense foliage surrounds the plant, creating a vibrant, natural BBHQ garden scene.

The one above is so delicate, like a pastel presence shimmering among the green foliage.

And this one below, a gorgeous magenta, a colour that pops like a little firecracker from under the shade of the trees.

A tall magenta foxglove flower grows beside a tree trunk, its tubular blossoms arranged in a descending cluster. The blooms are deep purple‑pink with speckled white interiors, contrasting against the rough textured bark and surrounding green foliage.

We did have some meautiful peach-toned ones, but at the moment they are not showing, but we'll see if the weather warms a little and they might come out to play! MOL

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

First up in the news this week

 Fudge's Relaxing in The Garden


Fudge, an orange tabby cat wearing a red collar with a small bell relaxes on a large smooth grey stone millwheel outdoors. He is stretched out comfortably, surrounded by greenery and flowers in soft natural light, creating a peaceful garden scene at BBHQ.

In a brief dry spell, with a bit of sunshine, Fudge got on one of his favourite spots, the big, granite millwheel.

When it's really warm, these stones heat up like a nice hot water bottle, and everypawdy loves a turn! MOL

Smooch's in The Summerhouse


Smooch, a white cat with black markings and a red collar stands on a blue‑and‑white textured rug inside a wooden summerhouse. He looks to the right toward a multi‑level sisal‑covered cat tree topped with a colourful woven mat. Wooden walls and soft natural light create a warm, cosy indoor setting.

Smooch said it was too windy under the gazebo, and insisted on the summerhouse being opened so he could snooze on the huge cat tree in there.

He was just checking if anypawdy had been on the blanket lately! MOL

 Parsley's Under the Log Basket


Parsley, a black cat relaxes on a stone surface in a shaded outdoor area, lying beneath a metal log basket filled with wooden logs. Plants, wooden boards, and small pebbles surround the scene as he rests comfortably in the cool shade.

In another brief sunny dry spell, Parsley decided he needed to get under the log basket. Personally, I think he was looking for spiders! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Last week, mew voted for the supurr cute Caticorn bandana; Melvyn loves this one. His favourite toy is a unicorn, so he was bursting with joy! MOL

A white cat with brown and black markings sits on a dark kitchen countertop wearing a light‑blue bandana decorated with cartoon caticorns, rainbows, and stars. A small yellow tag hangs from the bandana. Kitchen cabinets, a fridge, and ceiling beams form the background as Melvyn models the caticorn bandana.

Look at him, this is his faraway gaze, he was dreaming of unicorns! MOL MOL
