The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **Glorious Geraniums** ~ Parsley's Damp Stretch on The Sofa, Fudge's Checking Out The Catmint, and Smooch's Relaxing in The Garden ~ **PLUS** More in The BBHQ Bunker!!! MOL

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.

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 Weather Report

OH MY COD!!!! Mew'll never believe it, but it's stayed cool, so much so that a discussion about making a fire or putting on the heating was had! MOL

It's been rather refreshing, to say the least, and we've had a little more rain too. Though we have a truly dreadful, Biblical forecast for later on tonight and into the small hours of Thursday, so we'll be on flood watch.

We'll let mew know what happens!

This Week's Flower Offering

A bright cluster of pink geraniums blooms in a garden pot, their petals marked with deeper pink and soft white streaks near the centres. Fresh green leaves and small buds surround the flowers, while pebbles and paving stones frame the pot, creating a vibrant and cheerful BBHQ garden moment.

Glorious Geraniums at BBHQ

Just look at that pink; it is divine, and in the centre it's as if the petals have been brushed with scarlet and white. These are utterly stunning in real life.

Mew know geraniums are one of our favourite summer flowers; they never disappoint, as long as you look after them! MOL

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

Parsley's Damp Stretch on The Sofa


Parsley, a sleek black cat, lies on his back on a dark sofa, paws curled and body relaxed in a long stretch. His fur looks slightly damp from being out in the rain, catching the light against the cushions behind him, including a plaid one and a speckled one, creating a cosy, contented BBHQ moment.

Parsley got a little damp in the garden, then decided to dry himself off on the sofa.

He said, and I quote:

"Dude, I was just stretching!" 

Yeah, of course mew were!!! MOL

Next up in the news

Fudge's Checking Out The Catmint


Fudge, an orange tabby cat with a fluffy tail, stands on a sunny patio and leans toward a flowering catmint plant, sniffing its small purple blossoms. He’s positioned beside a brick planter filled with green foliage, creating a bright, natural BBHQ garden moment as he investigates the catmint with curious focus.

So Fudge was inspecting the catmint plant on the back patio, as the P.A. had given it a little trim the other day. He wasn't very happy... he's rather precious about the catmint plants.

After taste-testing several leaves, he declared.

"It's fine, I can deal with that!"

In other news

Smooch's Relaxing in The Garden 


Smooch, a tripawed white cat with black patches and a tripawed stance, lies stretched out along a wooden slatted garden bench on a sunny day. His body is fully relaxed, head resting sideways, surrounded by lush green foliage that frames this peaceful BBHQ garden moment.

Smooch was enjoying a little catnap on the rear deck as the late afternoon sun is really nice here.

He said, though, he was actually snoopervising the P.A. while she was cleaning up the raised beds at the side of the summer house.

Of course he was!!! MOL MOL

Today's Really Random Photo


 Basil in BBHQ Bunker with The P.A.

Inside a warm, steampunk‑styled BBHQ bunker workshop, The P.A. sits at a desk covered in sketches, pencils, and a detailed blueprint for a six‑wheeled vehicle labelled MOG1. In front of the desk, the small armoured MOG1 vehicle is parked, carrying Basil—dressed in military gear with a red beret—at the front as Wing Commander, with some kitten recruits seated behind him. Glowing monitors, signs, and mechanical details fill the background, creating a cosy, whimsical command‑centre atmosphere where Basil and The P.A. work side by side.

Oh, this did tickle me no end... the what-if picture...

The P.A. in the bunker, creating MOG1 for some kittens who just happened to need a home and found their way to BBHQ... no, there are no new kittens at BBHQ, just in case mew're wondering.

And of course I had to try the kitten-sized version of MOG1 ~ I think it really suits me! MOL

That's us done for today. Melvyn will be here on Friday, so do join us then, as The Oddity is really odd, and we're hoping it won't be a parcel-bursting nightmare!!!
