The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge Deciding What To Topple First, The BBHQ Welcoming Committee featuring Pandora, Smooch and Parsley, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS* This Weeks Top Videos

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been a lovely week at BBHQ, and last week, Lynn asked if we could share some more flower pictures, so today we're sharing the beautiful tulips we planted last October.

And here they are in all their utter magnificence! 

We love the frilled petals and the gorgeous shades of pink. We've been waiting for them to bloom as we couldn't remember what colours they were, and needless to say, we weren't disappointed at these colourful displays.

We had forty-eight lavender plants delivered last week. They are plug plants, so the size of a thumb, and the P.A. will be potting those on this week, as she's finally decided to do a new border out on the drive, as it's a little drab outside the gate. There are twenty-four Hidcote and twenty-four Munstead plants, so once they're big enough the new project will commence. Although, we aren't sure how fast these tiny plants will grow so it might not be until next year that they go in, but we will keep mew posted on progress in one of our upcoming Gardening with Cats posts. 

And mew may have noticed that our new May header is on the blog, with new graphics to match. We wanted a more vibrant vibe for this month.

Also don't forget that we're all still pawtying in the Nip Nirvana Lounge celebrating Smooch's 12th birthday, and if mew haven't entered his epic giveaway, here's the link:

Smooch's Birthday Giveaway

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

First up in the news this week

Fudge Deciding What To Topple First

Fudge loves getting up high and he decided to check the view out from the mantelpiece the other day, then he was eyeing up what might be good to get rid of.

Luckily the P.A. managed to snaffle him off before the candlesticks went for a plummet!  MOL

Next up in the news

 The BBHQ Welcoming Committee featuring Pandora, Smooch and Parsley

This was Smooch, Pandora and Parsley eagerly awaiting our luncheon guests on Sunday, we can't say who it was just yet, as there could be certain family in-laws reading this who will be rather annoyed, so we'll stay quiet as we don't need to get involved in the politics.

But all the top secret stuff aside, we had a supurr lunch, and don't tell anypawdy but the P.A. had far too much wine and then fell asleep once our lovely guests had departed! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week's winner by a whisker was the Echinacea Blooms bandana, and what a meautiful bandana it is!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge and Melvyn Trying A Little Colour Therapy and Chakra Healing, The Carnivorous Catticus Smooch Has Officially Moved, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS* This Weeks Top Videos **AND** May's New Bandana Selection

 Smashing Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Great news, the catnip and catmint seeds have germinated, so we'll be waiting for them to get a little bigger before we pot them on. The P.A. managed to plant nine dahlias on Sunday, and then she spied some self-set lupins, foxgloves and Turkish sage in the gravel and ended up with twenty-seven more plants, then after she'd finished potting them up, she saw another ten lupins, so that's another job for the weekend! MOL

It's been a little overcast and cool his week so far, although we are hopeful some warmer weather will appear soon.

We've also been working on a new Bird TV episode for YouTube, and hopefully that will be live soon, mew know the feathery flutterers can be rather sneaky and there's a lot of editing to be done, but we're nearly there. We'll let mew know when it gets posted so mew can see some the birds in the BBHQ garden.

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

First up in the news this week

Fudge and Melvyn Trying A Little Colour Healing

Mew know that the P.A. makes the Snuggle Mats for cats, well she also makes Chakra Meditation Mats, and after making oodles of 3 x 3 square colour tonal mats, she decided to make a full-length one and here is it.

A full chakra healing quilted healing mat, and guess who was first on the orange squares, well mew can see for yourself! MOL 

Melvyn was doing a little work on his third eye and throat chakras, using the purple and blue squares. Smooch later got on the green squares, which are for the heart chakra.

As mew can see it is a total hit with The B Team, even though made it for herself! 

Next up in the news

The Carnivorous Catticus Smooch Has Officially Moved

A couple of weeks ago, the Carnivorous Catticus Smooch was residing in a lovely pot on the deck, yet today in the garden, this rather temperamental plant genus has relocated itself next to the catmint! 

And as we suspected in our last update, he is taking over the garden! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Well, it happened, Melvyn finally wore the crystal trim bandana long enough for this photo to be taken but then he heard the jingle and the tinkle of the crystals and bolted upstairs!

The P.A. whistled him from along the landing and he came out of the bedroom, then bolted into the BBHQ office, so don't blink when mew watch his epic modelling fail on the videos, as mew'll miss him. Though, the P.A. did do a slo-mo shot at the end! MOL

And the moral of the story is this, Melvyn doesn't do crystal trim on bandanas!

Here's the brand new bandana selection for May, and this month mew've got five to choose from.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Parsley's Happy Place, Pandora And Smooch at Twilight, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS* This Weeks Top Videos

 Smashing Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been rather nice at BBHQ the last few days, although it was quite windy yesterday, but if mew found a sheltered spot, it was deliciously warm.

We've planted some catmint seeds, and we ordered thirty 3L pots to plant our new dahlia tubers in, we're just lacking the compost, so there'll be a little excursion the the nursery at the weekend to buy a few bags.

Also, the hedgehog is still visiting every night, many apologies for not setting up the wildlife camera yet, the P.A. has mislaid the memory card, and yes we have severely reprimanded her, and her excuse is this; she said that she last saw it when she was making the Bird TV videos for our YouTube channel, and she has to remember where she put it for safekeeping and that means it could be lost for eons! MOL 

First up in the news this week

 Parsley's Happy Place

This is Parsley's favourite part of the garden, he loves hanging out on the deck where he can see all the purretty flowers.

See his video in This Weeks Top Videos, further down the page.

Next up in the news

 Pandora And Smooch at Twilight

The P.A. had to go cat herding the other evening when it was warmer, as Smooch and Pandora were lurking with intent in the garden.

She spied them on the rear patio, and here they are being lured towards the gazebo! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

We know that mew all voted for the #4 option last week, Ducky and Lambkin Do Easter with crystal trim, but sadly Melvyn was having none of it again, we think the crystal trim is too distracting for him! MOL

We'll try for next week, but if he still isn't feeling the vibe we'll pick a random one from his rather extensive wardrobe.

He had so much fun this week wearing this one, and we think he looks adorable.

Check out Melvyn's videos on:

TikTok

Instagram

YouTube

If mew are having trouble watching on either Instagram or TikTok, watch it on YouTube as mew don't need an account or log in to watch.

Which one should he model next?

Here's the April selection.

The options from the top left in a clockwise direction:

1. Lamb'a'licious with yellow fringing

2. Cute White Bunnies

3. Flower Bunny with pink and white tassels

4. Ducky and Lambkin Do Easter with crystal trim

There's only one left, but as we said above, if Melvyn isn't feeling the vibe we'll pick a random one, and don't forget that next week we'll be sharing the brand new selection for May!

EXTRA, EXTRA!
