The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **BLOOMING EPIC!!!** ~ Parsley's In The Spidery Basket, Pandora's On The Deck, and Smooch is Snoozing in The Grass ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

**Alt Text:**   A colourful collage shows ten cats lined up in a row, each with different fur patterns and expressions. Behind them is a decorative backdrop of pink cherry blossoms, pastel bunting, and newspaper‑style graphics. Bold text in the centre reads “Midweek News Round Up with The B Team @BionicBasil.” In the top right, a cat with its mouth open appears to shout, with a speech bubble saying “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The bottom edge is framed with pink and white flowers.

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, gorgeous furiends, and thanks so much for stopping by.

What a week, it vanished in the blink of an eye. Where is the time going right now? Is it speeding up? Or is time different at BBHQ? Probably, but that aside, we ran out of it again, we managed to reply to our blog comments, got the code pasted for the Sunday Selfies, and then boom, and it was Tuesday!

Hopefully, some hops will still be open, so that's our next port of call after finishing this.

So let's start with the weather report: it's been mostly dry, with cool wind, though biting at times, and the most offensive fur-ruffling abilities. We do not recommend spending time outside in that. We have had some nice but brief sunny spells, with Sunday being the nicest day of the week so far. 

But as this week progresses, it could, according to our weather app, reach a heady 19 degrees Celsius on Friday. Now that's something to look forward to! MOL

What is the weather like where mew are this week? 

Oh, and here's this week's flower offering.

 The Red Tulips Are Blooming Epic

A cluster of vibrant red tulips, some streaked with orange and white, blooms brightly in a garden bed. The flowers rise among lush green leaves, with a wooden fence and climbing plants forming a rustic backdrop. Small blue flowers sit near the base of the tulips, adding contrast to the vivid spring display. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

The reds are so vibrant, and the ones on the right look like they have been painted, honestly, nature is amazing.

We are waiting for some black frilled tulips to appear; they are only just getting going, but if the weather is warmer, we may get blooms sooner. Here's hoping!

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's news.

First up in the news this week...

Parsley's In The Spidery Basket


A black cat relaxes inside a wicker basket lined with cream fabric and filled with red blankets and a red heart‑shaped cushion. The cosy basket sits indoors near a white door with a brass latch and a window. The cat wears a collar with a small tag and looks calm and comfortable. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Parsley decided to brave the spidery basket, yep, he is that brave!

Next up in the news...

Pandora's On The Deck


Pandora was enjoying a dappled spot on the deck

She's loving it there at the moment, but I suspect that this repeated display is a subtle signal that garden furniture, preferably supurr comfy with plush throws, is needed in this space, very soon!

Or else! MOL

In other news...

Smooch is Snoozing in The Grass


A white cat with a black patch on its head rests inside a metal tub outdoors, nestled between tufts of green grass. Bright sunlight highlights the cat’s relaxed posture as it snoozes comfortably in the cosy grassy nook. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Smooch was catnapping in one of his favourite spring spots.

Every year, he relishes his time napping in the pots with the ornamental grass, though he was a little hissed off, as the P.A. had just cut this one back, so it wasn't as springy as normal.

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

It was a tie between #3 and #5, so Melvyn made the executive decision and picked #3!

Melvyn, a mostly white tabby cat with dark markings lounges on a carpeted floor, wearing a bright floral bandana decorated with pink and teal flowers. The cat is lying on its side with its front legs slightly bent and its head tilted toward the camera, looking relaxed and comfortable. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Just look at him, what a little supurr model floof of furbulousness!

Also, he's requested that the P.A. make some new bandanas soon, so keep your eyes open for brand-new collections in the coming months.

A curved string of pastel pennant flags hangs in gentle arcs, with triangles in soft blue, pink, yellow, and green. At each peak of the curve sits a white flower with a yellow center, giving the decoration a cheerful, festive look suitable for celebrations or spring‑themed designs.

Which one should he model next?


Here's the April Bandana collection.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month. 

Five colourful triangular bandanas are arranged on a light wooden surface, each with a different vibrant pattern. Designs include hot‑air balloons and animals, stylised floral motifs, large pink flowers on teal, playful pink cats on black, and a yellow‑and‑pink floral print. Text reads “The April Bandana Collection at BBHQ.

The April Collection:

1.  Ballooning with Furiends* ~ Blue 

2. Spring Freshness

3. Peony Purrfection 

4. Cute Pink Cats

5. Blooming Marvellous

ONE LEFT FOR NEXT WEEK!!!

What The Fluff ~ BBHQ Q&A Episode 2

Colouring with Cats

Hoping mew have a furbulous day, and remember to always...

The phrase “STAY FLUFFY” appears in large, bold letters coloured soft yellow with a pink drop‑shadow effect. The playful, rounded typography gives the message a cheerful, light‑hearted feel against a plain background.
... and utterly furbulous
