Happy Friday Pawesome Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would never see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on Level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of ever being seen on the interwebs for the world to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready for some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!


And first on the podium is Amber in...

Amber's Crotchety Cougars Enrollment

Friday Fluffers At BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Amber's Crotchety Cougars Enrollment

This was from October 2017 when she was made an official memfur of The Crotchety Cougars.

And by Cod, she was exuding a menacing amount of crotchiness here! MOL


Next up is me, Basil in...

The Dirtiest Pussy Ever

Friday Fluffers At BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Basil's The Dirtiest Pussy Ever

Talk about a blast from the past, this photo is from way, way back in April 2009.

I remember this so well. I'd been mousing in the bonfire heap late at night, and yes, it was cold at the time, and I came back home covered in ash and soot and was utterly filthy. In fact, I never ever got that filthy again! MOL

And no, I didn't get the mouse. The sneaky little fluffer got away.


And finally, Humphrey in...

Humphrey The Tree Killer

This was also from 2009, July the 7th. The P.A. couldn't understand why the little cypress trees along the lawn border were going brown and dying.

And here's why, Humphrey had acid pee! MOL



This week we're also joining in Friday Fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. I am so not looking forward to ____________________________________.

2. _____________________________ is surprisingly delicious.

3. I need a welcome sign at my front door that says _________.

4. I would _________ if it meant that I could _________.



The P.A.'s answers are...

1. I am so not looking forward to winter. I always find this time of year rather sad, as the nights are drawing in, and that means one thing is on the way.

2. The lemon cheesecake I made the other week is surprisingly delicious. I've never been a fan of cheesecake, but that would for want of a better expression was, epically epic! 

3. I need a welcome sign at my front door that says _________. Yeah, that's not going to work because Fudge has other ideas.

Meet BBHQ's Supurr Fluffy Welcoming Committee!!! LOL

4. I would sacrifice the courtyard garden, if it meant that I could have a swim spa. I've wanted one for ages, but cat dad say NO! LOL As apparently it's just something else to maintain and clean.


                                         

We do hope mew enjoyed today's fluffers and we'll be back next Friday with more funny photos.

Join us again on Sunday when we're here with our usual selfie selection, in the meantime...

Happy Friday Pawesome Pals

UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready for some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course mew are, and today's selection are from 2015 to 2021!


First up is...

Amber's Supurr Chonk'a'licious Phase 

Friday Fluffers at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Not Amber's Best Side

Amber went through an epic chunky/bulking phase in 2015, and we think she was peaking at this point! 

Let's hope she misses today's post; if she sees this, all future library privileges will be revoked, and that's putting it nicely! MOL MOL


Next up on the podium is Fudge's Fierce Fangies!

Yeah, dude, mew look like a catpyre aka cat vampire! MOL


And finally, Pandora's Horrified By The Clown Collar

This was from July 2021.

Pandora never wants to wear the clown collar again! 

Luckily it's in a box in the craft room, so she's pretty safe now.



This week we're also joining in Friday Fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.
1. ________________________ is my favourite Olympic sport.
2. I won’t spend money on _____________________________.
3. I’ve come to terms with the fact that _________.
4. My computer search history includes _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. Cat Herding or Cat Grooming is my favourite Feline Olympic sport! LOL (I don't watch sports so I can't comment on the real events).

2. I won’t spend money on too-good-to-be-true gadgets for the home. You know the type: Just check out the TV shopping channels, and you'll find stuff there you never knew you needed, only to realise that when you've got it, it's not what it said on the tin.

3. I’ve come to terms with the fact that career success is a twisty, turning thing, and sometimes, what we work for never comes to fruition, no matter how hard we try and dedicate ourselves to the cause. I am rather tenacious and determined, but even I'm starting to flag with the writing, so much so that the last few days, I've seriously considered just giving up altogether. FYI -The jury is still out on this decision...

4. My computer search history includes—this week's highlights are an oversized, extra comfy reading chair and a remote Kindle page-turner—well, Amber needs these things! Plus new ink cartridges for the myriad of fountain pens on my desk, and I've been looking for cupboard paint and stone floor tiles as I want to make over the laundry again. It's not very exciting, but then I don't need to be, as the B Team makes up for my lack in that department! LOL

                                               

We do hope mew enjoyed today's fluffers, and we'll be back next Friday with more funny photos.

Join us again on Sunday when we're here with our usual selfie selection, and can mew guess who is in the selfie hot seat this week?

In the meantime...

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ Sunday Selfie, and this week, we thought we'd share a supurr cute throwback selfie of Amber from June 2007, when she was a lot more adventurous and spent a lot more time outside.

 Amber's Supurr Cute Selfie

This was one of her favourite hang outs back in the day, under the carport on this chair or the sofa.

Now she just languishes on the sofa in the catservatory! MOL

And just look at her eyes, mew can see why she's called Amber, and here's a little secret, when she first arrived at BBHQ, her name was Gizmo!

Anyhoo it's time for us to stay clear of the kitchen as Smooch is on the warpath, apparently the P.A. was supposed to get the ingredients to make a chocolate fudge cake and instead she bought the ingredients to make this cheesecake, and she made it without his knowledge or snoopervison - Oh My Cod - seriously - DO NOT GO IN THE KITCHEN!

And to make matters worse, this was the lemming cheesecake he wanted making a few weeks ago, and the P.A. completely forgot! Jumpin' juniper berries it's going to be exciting at BBHQ today! MOL MOL MOL

We do hope mew have an epic day, and we'll see mew on the morrow with another Mancat Monday post.

**FELINE FICTION FIX** Book Reviews with Amber at The Mewton-Clawson Library #290 featuring **Let The Purring Begin** by Sallie Cochren PLUS Friendly Fill-Ins

Amber's Book Reviews Banner ©BionicBasil® May 2023

Hello meautiful library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ 

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today and my last review of the current season. 

Happy, happy news, mew remember last week when I set Parsley on as the library manager? 

Well, things took an incredible turn this week as Parsley set up a bank account for the library and put money in there, too; plus, he gave me my own credit card linked to said bank account - what an epically epic dude! Mew could have knocked me over with a library pamphlet, rolled me down Aisle B and thrown confetti all over me, and I couldn't have been more surprised! 

Amber's Book Reviews #290 ©BionicBasil® Amber in April 2015

So that's my epic news to finish this season's reviews on, and when I was looking for a cute photo to share today, I found this furbulous flashback to April 2015 - don't I look gorgeous?!!!! MOL

Anyhoo, what books have mew been reading this week?

Apart from this week's top pick, I've also reread (R.R.) three books, plus one new book (N.R.) since my last review:

Skin Game by Jim Butcher - Harry Dresden BK 15 - (R.R.)

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher - Harry Dresden BK 16 - (R.R.)

The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett - Discworld BK 22 (R.R.)

and

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros - Empyrean BK 1 - (N.R.)

It was a bit of a slow week book-wise, but Fourth Wing is a bit of a tome at 512 pages, so I waded my way through that. After a bit of a slow start, it's quite the page-turner, and I've already got my mittens on book 2—thanks, Parsley!

1. It would be nice to be ______________________ for a day.
2. The older I get, the more I appreciate _____________________________.
3. I like to decorate _________ with _________.
4. You’ll often find _________ on my kitchen counter.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. It would be nice to be a billionaire for a day. Just imagine how much good you could do for those in need in 24 hours.

2. The older I get, the more I appreciate the time we have and who we spend it with.

3. I like to decorate my garden with unusual items, such as telephone boxes, mill wheels, vintage wine pumps, huge antique pots, etc... I love uniqueness and individuality.

4. You’ll often find my air fryer on my kitchen counter. I love my air fryer, and I just bought a new thing called a Ninja Sizzle, so exciting! LOL

Let The Purring Begin


Sapphire's Tale

by

Sallie Cochren

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

If you are a lover of cats, this tale is for you!

When a sweet cat named Ashley finds herself tossed outside to live on her own, she doesn't know what the future holds for her. Frightened and forced to fend for herself, she isn't sure that she can ever trust humans again.

But that soon changes when she meets Summer, a kind woman who rescues her and gives her a new name - Sapphire. Despite Summer telling Sapphire that she loves her and that she is her forever baby, it takes time for Sapphire to trust a human fully again.

Sapphire and Summer aren't alone for long. It seems that Sapphire has brought some other cats with her. When she has three beautiful kittens, they all want to stay with Summer. Can they convince Summer to keep them all? And when a new cat named Mango shows up, how will he change their family dynamics?

This heart-warming tale, told by a former street cat, shares her journey as she learns to love again!

**Firstly I have to let mew all know that I was given a free copy of this book in e-format in exchange for a fair review**

Let The Purring Begin ~ Sapphire's Tale by Sallie Cochren is an enchanting book that will capture the hearts of cat lovers everywhere.

The story follows Sapphire's journey and is told from her point of view. It's like a kitty diary of sorts, documenting her life from hopelessness to happiness, with a few speed bumps along the way.

She is a resilient cat who, after being adopted as a kitten, her cat mom's soldier hubby returns from deployment a couple of months later and kicks her out, as he hates cats. Finding herself abandoned and alone after the super mean soldier drives to the middle of nowhere and dumps her; she eventually learns to trust again with the help of Summer, a kind-hearted woman who becomes her rescuer.

As Sapphire settles into her new home, the addition of other feline friends, including Mango, who's another stray, and the charming dynamics they bring to the household, create a heartwarming and often humorous narrative.

Sallie Cochren's storytelling is both touching and entertaining, making it a delightful read for anypawdy who cherishes the companionship of their whiskered furiends. Grab a hot beverage of your choice, find a cozy nook, and prepare to be whisked away into the heartening world of Sapphire and her furry companions!

This is a purrfect Sunday afternoon read, and I highly recommend it to all my readers.

I really hope mew enjoy the book as much as I did, if mew decide to read it.

It's time for me to say BFN or bye-for-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and I'll be back in the Autumn/Fall with another specially selected selection of paw-picked books just for mew, and don't forget that all my previous reviews can be found on my Book Review page.

Until next time...

Keep calm and read more books
