The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **FURBULOUS FUSCHIAS** ~ Fudge's Flat Out ... Again, Smooch's Hanging Out in The Shade, and Geranium Sauce ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling This Week's Bandana

Seven cats sit together in a colourful garden filled with flowers, butterflies, and festive bunting. Behind them are scattered newspapers and a large banner that reads “Midweek News Round Up with the B Team.” One cat on the left has its mouth open as if shouting, next to a speech bubble that says “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The scene is bright, playful, and lively, with each cat displaying different fur colours and patterns. The overall design feels cheerful and whimsical, like a fun feline news announcement.
This week on the news flat out cats, gravelly adventures and a new type of sauce!!! MOL

Supurr Floofy Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for dropping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weekly Weather Report

Good news, it's stayed just under the mid-twenties for the last few days, and over Caturday night and Sunday morning we did get a few brief showers, which was nice to put a little moisture back into the ground, as a lot of the potted trees are really suffering due to this long dry spell.

Yesterday, the heat started climbing again and was hovering around 29 Celsius, peaking at 30 in the mid to late afternoon. And it will be the same today, but then it will go back to the mid-twenties again for the next few days. So very manageable, unlike recent weeks.

This week's flower offering is a furbulous fuschia, one of two; this is the pink and white one, and the one opposite - not shown - is pink and purple. 

A black woven planter sits on a tiled patio beside a wooden post, overflowing with a vibrant fuchsia plant. Bright pink and magenta bell‑shaped flowers hang among glossy green leaves, standing out against the dark container. A dense green hedge forms the backdrop, highlighting the lush, furbulous colour in the BBHQ garden.

They are such gorgeous flowers and pretty easy to keep in this weather.

But wait, there's more; check out Parsley below. He's 'modelling' the geraniums!!! MOL


Grampaw Update

Thank mew all so much for the prayers and good wishes for Grampaw. On Monday, he went into the nursing home for a 2-week stay... the P.A. and her family have got a rota system going so Grampaw gets visitors all the time. We'll let mew know more soon...

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

A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red. Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

First up in the news this week

Fudge's Flat Out ... Again


Fudge, a fluffy orange tabby cat with a supurr floofy tail sleeps deeply on a soft cream blanket draped over a beige outdoor sofa, his fluffy tail curled close and paws relaxed. A warm reddish‑brown cushion sits behind him, completing the snug, peaceful scene as Fudge enjoys yet another flat‑out nap during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up

This week, as it's been cooler, Fudge enjoyed some supurr-quality catnapping time under the gazebo on a freshly washed blanky.

OH MY COD, he's so spoilt!!! MOL

But he has slowed down a bit in recent times... and enjoys his naps.

Next up in the news

Smooch's Hanging Out in The Shade 


A tripawed white cat with black markings sits on a gravel driveway beneath leafy garden trees, wearing a red collar. Soft shade from the surrounding bushes and a birch trunk creates a cool, peaceful spot where Smooch relaxes outdoors during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up.

Smooch was hanging out on the gravel in the shade of all the trees.

And we will say this: thank COD the P.A. planted them, as when she first moved in a bazillion years ago, there weren't any.

Some she grew many from seed, and others were tiny saplings; now we have a little bit of a woodland vibe happening, which is so nice in the heat to have a leafy canopy.

In other news

 Geranium Sauce


A sleek black cat walks along a garden path made of pale stepping stones set in gravel, surrounded by bright red and pink geraniums overflowing from pots and planters. Lush green foliage frames the colourful scene as Parsley—Mr Sauce—strolls confidently through the vibrant garden during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up.

Parsley aka Mr Sauce, aka Sauce, now Geranium Sauce! MOL

Yes, we love our red and pink geraniums at BBHQ, and they are one flower that doesn't seem to have minded the weeks of heat; they are blooming marvellous!

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


This week, Melvyn is modelling the last bandana of July. 

Mew voted for Cactus Crazee, but he thought, what the fluff, let's do both, as this is his last modelling assignment for the summer, as Amber has another job for him. (See Mews Flash below).

He really enjoyed modelling the Cactus Crazee bandana.

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat with expressive green eyes, lies on a patterned rug indoors wearing the Cactus Crazee Bandana—a vibrant accessory featuring colourful cactus illustrations. His relaxed pose and the cheerful design add a playful, stylish touch. The wooden floor background and www.bionicbasil.com branding complete this charming feline fashion moment

And here's The Pink Flutterby's bandana!

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat with soft green eyes, models The Pink Flutterby's bandana while reclining adorably on a woven rug indoors. The bandana features whimsical pink and green butterfly prints, adding a splash of springtime charm to his relaxed pose. A wooden floor and metallic bowl sit in the background, with www.bionicbasil.com subtly branding this feline fashion spotlight

Doesn't he look epic?

He'll be back in the Autumn with some more epic bandana selections just for mew!

Several butterflies in vivid colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow scene. The overall look is vibrant and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in nature.

MEWS FLASH


As it's Amber's last book review of the current season on Friday, and she's due to go on her annual jollies next week, Melvyn is being left in charge of the Library Archive on Level 6 again, and as he did such a meowvellous job in 2025, Amber is also letting him run the main Mewton-Clawson Library in the BBHQ courtyard, too...

So would mew like a second season of Melvyn's Mewsings every Friday until Amber returns?

He said he'd really like to share his journey with mew, as he's come such a long way since last year! MOL

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday for the last review of the season.

We hope mew have a furbulous day, and remember to always...

    I've always adored fuschia but never succeeded at growing them. ~sigh~ I sure hope your vegetables produce soon. :) Thank you for all the smiles!
