The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch on Morning Garden Pawtrol, Pandora's Stealth Operation, Parsley's Zonked Out, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, furry floofers, and welcome to this week's hot gossip. Firstly, let's give mew the weather report. It cooled down somewhat from the scorching 33 degrees Celsius a week ago, on Monday, the 3rd of July, and we were quite happy about that, as it had been way too warm. So, we've had mid-twenties, and on Monday, it got down to just 20 degrees. It felt cold, as the wind was blowing a bit wildly. Sunday, it rained on and off for most of the day, so the parched garden and trees really enjoyed that.

And talking of rain, or the lack thereof, the poor garden is parched, the flowers are wilting, and the trees are even shedding leaves. Yep, it's a bit hardcore, as normally English summers are a total washout; we get a couple of nice weeks and then it just rains, but this year is the total opposite. We think it's because of the moon being out of phase, and speaking of which, we haven't seen it recently! Have mew?

So here's this week's flower picture, the only one worth showing is the supurr happy daisies, as they're not wilting! MOL

Aren't they pretty?

Additionally, we've noticed a significant increase in butterflies over the last week or so, along with more bees, which is truly lovely.

And the hedgehogs are still visiting every night for snacks. So far, after awakening from their winter hibernation, they've eaten nearly 20KG of kibble! MOL

Here's one of the little snack hogs, or as we call him/her, Fuzzle, at the watering hole!

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

First up in the news this week

Smooch on Morning Garden Pawtrol

Smooch enjoyed a nice morning pawtrol yesterday, the wind had eased up and it was really rather clement.

As he happily approached the gazebo, Fudge asked him, how his recently vacuumed basket was going?

We can't repeat Smooch's reply! MOL

Next up in the news

Pandora's Stealth Operation  

Operation: Catch The Really Humungous Pigeon!

The other day, Pandora was on a mission as there's a pigeon the size of a small pterodactyl at BBHQ, and quite frankly, she just doesn't like it!

In other news

 Parsley's Zonked Out 

Parsley was flat out and totally zonked by the window late last week, and he was really enjoying those summer wiffles! MOL 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week, Melvyn is modelling the Catastic Cats bandana, as voted for by mew last week.

He's looking epic as always! 

Now this is the really strange thing. We thought Melvyn had modelled everything from his bandana collection at least once, if not twice; however, this one, we can find no record of it ever being worn before, unless in the computer fritz that happened the other week, it's accidentally got deleted???

It's on the far right, sixth row up from the bottom... We were sure he had worn it before, as we wanted to share the videos if he had!

And here's a quick, W.D.G. update: the invisible BBHQ monster, who did live behind the sofa, has now moved out into the shed. Don't ask us why, although there was a note that said, he's sulking because he didn't get invited to Melvyn's pawty last Friday. We left another note in reply, saying:

'Dude, we thought mew were there, even though we couldn't see mew!'

Melvyn is currently preparing a gift basket to help smooth the situation.

Which one should he model next?

Here's the July Bandana collection, and we chose another really fun selection for mew this time. And we've decided to give mew six to choose from, even though we only needed five, OH MY COD, the utter excitement of it all! MOL

The July Collection:

1. Popcorn Purrlease

2. MerCats 

3. Catastic Cats

4. In The Jungle

5. Pink Flutterby's

6. Cactus Crazee

Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments.

That's us done for today. We'll be back on Friday, so do join us then, as mew know how much we love your company.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch Still Says 'FLUFF THE BASKET', Fudge's Epic Sunpuddle, Parsley's Quick Garden Pawtrol at BBHQ, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Hello from BBHQ. As always, we'll start with the weather report. OH MY FLUFFING COD we nearly combusted on Monday, fur coats and 33 degrees Celsius do not go paw in paw, especially in England, where really it felt like 43 degrees with the fur-frizzing, highly offensive and rather relentless humidity. There wasn't even a breeze outside. Luckily, the fans were on, and the A/C was running in the upstairs bedroom, so we managed to get through it by just a whisker. 

It's been pretty warm since our last report, but at least over the weekend, there was a lovely breeze, which made it just a tad more tolerable. The P.A. even considered bringing out the pop-up pool, but then said, 'By the time it's filled, it'll be Autumn!' MOL  (Yes, our water pressure is really that bad!) (There's nothing like paying £100's and £100's for water a year, just for the shareholders to get great dividends while the infrastructure crumbles around us - yep great business, and now they're putting it up again to pay for infrastructure work - genius's. Our bill has increased by 100% over the last five years. Good old Blighty! MOL)

The heat also fried the PC in the BBHQ office over the weekend; the screens went KERPUT. So, apologies for not hopping along last week. If we could have seen anything, we would have hopped on Caturday morning as usual. But the computer said NO. CatDad is looking for an upgrade this week, so we don't have to limp along like we have been doing of late.

Anyhoo, we've just got to share this with mew, because we are so excited, remember the other week when we found The Four Leaf Clover kit?  

And then the P.A. finally got around to planting the 20+ year old seeds? 

But then the squirrel went and dug through the pots mentioned in last week's post? 

We thought they were toast. BUT the P.A. never lost hope, she kept watering and checking them, and then one little green shoot appeared late last week. Though even more miraculously, more have appeared since, and here's the proof: this photo was taken yesterday.

JUST LOOK AT THAT EPICNESS!!!

Lucky No. 7! MOL

So it just goes to mew, that no matter how old the seeds are, there may be hope!

And before we dive into this week's top stories, we just had to share this rose with mew. Well, it wouldn't be right not to share this, just look at it.

We have one word... 

PURRFECTION!

Anyhoo, let's look at the top headlines.

First up in the news this week

 Smooch Still Says FLUFF THE BASKET

Smooch is still not purrleased, look at the little grump. If he doesn't change his cattitude, the P.A. will be filling the basket with all kinds of outdoor debris! MOL

Next up in the news

Fudge's Epic Sunpuddle

Fudge found an epic sunpuddle in the catservatory on Caturday morning. Well, later that day, it turned into a solar flare and scorched the rug. It was that hot! MOL

Yes, the catservatory gets closed around 8am on weekdays, but as it was the weekend, it stayed open until around 9.30 am, so he did get extra warms.

In other news

 Parsley's Quick Garden Pawtrol at BBHQ 

Parsley enjoyed a quick garden pawtrol on Friday morning, before he returned inside and parked up on the landing for most of the day, only appearing downstairs for snacks periodically! 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week, Melvyn is modelling the first bandana of July. And last week mew voted for the MerCats Bandana.
