Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for stopping 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
Well, we did get the rain; it wasn't quite biblical, but the courtyard did get flooded to over ankle height. How do we know this? Because the P.A. had to go and shut the library door, and she waded through it while we all watched on from the catservatory! MOL
It rained very heavily on and off, with several rather dazzling lightning storms, and a lot of thunder for a few days, but we did get a nice Bank Holiday Monday.
Going forward, it remains unsettled, but so it goes; at least we aren't freezing or boiling, which is always a blessing! MOL
This Week's Flower Offering
These have done so well in the little flower box under the gazebo. There are three in total: this one, a blue one, and a white one. They are so pretty, but this yellow one is our favourite!
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
Melvyn's Catservatory Sun Puddle
Melvyn found a lovely early morning sun puddle to bathe in... just look at that face; he's feeling so money supurrmarket right now! MOL
Fudge's Flat Out
Philosophy according to Fudge! MOL
Finally this week...
Parsley's Checking Out The Clean Patio
Today's Really Random Photo
🛗 Essential Elevators
Getting around seventeen levels of BBHQ requires something a little more substantial than your average lift.
Enter Essential Elevators ~ a heavily reinforced, military-grade elevator big enough for ten fully armed cats, assorted equipment, and whatever questionable artefact somebody has decided to bring home this week.
It’s fast. It’s reliable. It’s virtually indestructible.
Its A.I. is also incredibly snarky.
Ask politely for Level Nine, and it may question your life choices before closing the doors. Press the wrong button and expect commentary. Press the emergency stop and… actually, just don’t.
There is one other tiny quirk.
Essential Elevators occasionally ignores the floor mew selected and takes mew somewhere else entirely.
Not because it’s broken.
Apparently, it simply knows better.
As Posie and Snowie discovered when they requested Level Eight and were cheerfully deposited on Level One instead, Essential Elevators really does live up to its unofficial motto:
“The only elevators to take mew where mew didn’t know mew wanted to go!”
So today I’m going to Level Nine.
At least, that’s where I’m hoping to end up.
Ping!
Oh fluff...
I'm glad you've gotten rain and hope there was no damage from so much at once.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous September!
Thank mew so much, Mimi! 😺
DeleteWe’re very relieved the rain didn’t cause any real damage! MOL
The weather’s still a bit unsettled, but at least we’re not freezing or boiling, which is always a blessing.
Wishing mew a truly furbulous September from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Such a fun midweek update! 🌸
ReplyDeleteMelvyn looks so blissful in his sun puddle, Fudge has mastered the art of sofa snoozing, and Parsley’s patio inspection made me smile. The daisies are gorgeous.
Thank mew so much, Veronica! 😺🌸
DeleteWe’re thrilled mew enjoyed the midweek update, and thank mew, the daisies were looking gorgeous this week!
Purrs and thanks from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
I hope you weren't inconvenienced by the flood
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Ruby Rose! 😺
DeleteThankfully we weren’t too inconvenienced; a bit of paddling never hurt anypawdy- well, only the P.A.'s flip-flops!!! MOL
No real damage, just a very soggy few days and a lot of thunder and lightning for dramatic effect.
Wishing mew a meautiful September from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Those daisies are truly beautiful! Cats always know where to find the sun puddles...
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Angie! 😺🌼
DeleteWe think the daisies are truly meautiful too, they’ve done so well in the little flower box under the gazebo.
And mew’re absolutely right, cats always know where to find the best sun puddles… Melvyn proved that in style! MOL
Purrs from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Since we're back to super hot summer weather at 35c, precious is flat out also. Love seeing everyone though and hope you get some good weather and beautiful flowers. Mine are starting to look a little tired for the summer
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Lynn! 😺
DeleteOh my whiskers, 35°C is seriously hot, no wonder Precious is flat out too! Fudge would absolutely approve of her snoozing philosophy!!! MOL
We’re hoping things settle here soon; at least we aren’t freezing or boiling right now, which is a small blessing.
Sending cool breezes and gentle purrs to mew both from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Rain is good; flooding...not so much.
ReplyDeleteHope the temps remain in the normal range from now on.
Thank mew so much, sweeties! 😺
DeleteWe totally agree, rain is good, but flooding… not so much.

I am sure glad you didn't get flooded out. Looking good gang!!! Hey, we need an elevator.
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Brian! 😺
DeleteWe’re supurr glad too. The courtyard got flooded to over ankle height, but thankfully no major drama- just the P.A. wading through it wearing flip flops while we all watched from the catservatory like it was a live‑action soap! MOL
As for an elevator, trust me, mew think mew want one… until the A.I. starts questioning your life choices every time mew press a button! MOL
Purrs from Wing Commander Basil & The B Team! 🐾✨
Hi Melvyn, Fudge, and Parsley! We are glad to hear the flooding wasn't biblical in nature.
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, guys! 😺
DeleteMelvyn, Fudge and Parsley are waving their paws hello! We’re very relieved the flooding wasn’t biblical!! MOL
Thankfully no damage, just soggy paws and dramatic thunder for ambience.
Purrs from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Wow, you did get the rain.
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Kimberly! 😺
DeleteOh yes, we really did get the rain, plenty of it!
Thankfully no damage, just soggy paws and dramatic skies.

Sending purrs and whisker kisses from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
Yikes! That is a lot of rain. I miss Melvyn doing his modeling. XO
ReplyDeleteThank mew so much, Auwnty Ellen! 😺
DeleteYikes indeed, we got so much rain, the courtyard flooded to over ankle height and the P.A. had to wade through it while we all watched from the catservatory like it was a live‑action drama! MOL
And Melvyn says he misses modelling too, hopefully he’ll be back on the catwalk very soon, once the weather stops being so soggy and chaotic.
Sending hugs and purrs from all of us at BBHQ! 🐾✨
I couldn't pick a favourite photo they're all lovely x 😽
