Epic Greetings, Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

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

Oh good gravy, it was a supurr windy, gusty, blowy weekend, so much so that we didn't really go out much. The wind whipped around like a mini tornado; the trees whirled; it was quite surreal.

The P. A. says she's never seen it like that before in the garden, wind in all directions at once. Luckily, everything survived; the bottlebrush shrub got blown over, so that was left on the floor until the storm passed. It rained too; we didn't like that.

Panodra insisted on going outside; we watched. She lasted 15 seconds and then rushed back in, her fur everywhere - promise we didn't laugh - actually, we did! MOL

This Week's Flower Offering

A beautiful pinky magenta dahlia in bloom, featuring eight delicate petals with warm golden-yellow and orange centres radiating towards a dark burgundy middle filled with tiny yellow florets. Surrounded by lush green foliage and an unopened flower bud, the vibrant bloom adds a splash of colour to the garden. ©BionicBasil®

This is another stunning dahlia in the flower bed in front of the summer house.

Its colours are gorgeous: the magenta pinky tone with bright yellow-gold flashes; it is spectacular.

We were surprised they are all still flowering this late, but then the scorchio summer did set them back, and they only started to appear in September, so better late than never! MOL

Anyhoo, here are this week's top headlines.

First up in the news

Fudge and Melvyn Chillaxing

These two were loving the warmth from the woodburner; Fudge was having a bath while Melvyn was flat out! MOL

Next up in the news

Smooch's in The Basket

The cat looks content and slightly sleepy, nestled among the soft folds, while fallen autumn leaves and garden foliage add a seasonal touch to the peaceful outdoor scene. ©BionicBasil®

Smooch got in his basket for snuggles after he'd got a bit damp pawtrolling through the wet garden border and flowers; he was surrounded by leaves and debris from the weekend! 

Not one fluff was given about the mess, he said, and I quote, it's ok, the P.A. will take care of it! MOL

Finally this week

Pandora's in The Kitchen

Pandora was in the kitchen yesterday; she was avoiding Fudge, Melvyn and Parsley as they were playing in the sitting room.

It was too rambunctious in there for her! MOL

Today's Really Random Photo


This was the moon Sunday at 9.13pm - just look at that halo.

A bright moon shines through a textured blue-grey sky, surrounded by a beautiful circular rainbow halo of soft red, yellow, green and blue. Dark green tree branches and delicate leaves frame the lower left of the photograph, creating a striking contrast against the glowing sky. ©BionicBasil®

It was incredible, and the clouds were amazing.

    The dahlia is a delight and so is the halo around the moon. I hope your weather stays just wet enough to not have a drought and the wind behaves.

    Love the kitty pictures, and the dahlia too! Now, about that moon - we've seen one just like it! A circular rainbow around the full moon! That was decades ago, and it doesn't happen every full moon, that's for sure. That was decades ago,and I believe I may have written about it in my book. I did look it up and found it was known, has been observed, though rarely.
