 Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

This week, the weather has been a tad cooler, and there is not much to report. We were hoping for a few more sun puddles, and we did get a couple, which were nice.

Oh, are any of mew on Medium

We only ask because we joined a while ago and have been serialising The B Team's adventures, starting with Claws of Terror and have just finished posting The Clockwork Labyrinth. 

Anyhoo, what we wanted to say was that if mew are a Medium Member, mew can actually listen to the stories, and fluff me. We know it's only an A.I. voice, but it was so much fun to actually hear the stories narrated.

IN FACT, IT WAS EPICALLY EPIC, BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED! MOL

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

First up in the news this week

Parsley Recovering From His Epic Pawty


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Parsley Recovering From His Epic Pawty

Yep, he's still hungover... let's move on! MOL

BTW, he says thank mew all so much for celebrating with him at BBHQ; it was the best night ever. 

Oh, and purrlease don't share any pawty photos or video footage online, as he vaguely remembers letting out Fudge's Magical Menagerie! Oh dear!

In other news...

Smooch and Pandora Looking For Parsley


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch and Pandora Looking For Parsley

This was Smooch and Pandora looking for Parsley just before his pawty was about to start on Caturday.

It turns out that Parsley had started his pawty much, much earlier, yep, and we won't mention the nip punch, the nip shots, the nip beer, the nip chasers or the nip cocktails! MOL

 Fudge's Morning Fur-Lates Purractice


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge's Morning Fur-Lates Purractice

Mew've heard of Pilates, and Yogalates; well, Fudge tried both of those and decided he could do better. So he created FUR-LATES! MOL

FUR-Lates is a mixed discipline class that involves deep stretching and bathing simultaneously. Yep, only he could have thought of that!

If mew'd like to join in one of his Zoom classes, just mention it in the comments.

Poor Fudge was distraught when he went to get on his cushion, and found it had already been nabbed!

Don't forget to go and join in Parsley's 12th Birthday rave if mew haven't already, as it will be going on for days! MOL

We're off to bask in some sun puddles. It will be warm early on with a chance of a thunderstorm later, so we're getting in front and making sure some basking is happening before we head back to the pawty in the bunker for another wild night. 

Mew can guess exactly what our tripawed dude is doing today. Yep, Smooch is waiting for his roast beef; seriously, his internal clock is extraordinary! MOL

Join us again tomorrow when we're back with Meowing on Monday and a bit of Cat Chat!

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to always...

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ **NEW DECK ALERT** Parsley's Conjuring Up Fluff Knows What, Fudge's Hissed Off, and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS** WHAT DOES MELVYN DO AFTER HE'S FINISHED MODELLING?

Furbulous Greetings, Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Jumping juniper berries, it's been a wild week of weather at BBHQ. Last week, it was all blustery gusts, with the trees shedding no end of leaves—yes, another job for the P.A. to deal with shortly. We had a deluge of rain on Friday and Caturday, with more angry and horrendously hostile wind intent on blowing everything everywhere and making as much mess as possible in the garden. 

And to say it was the last Bank Holiday weekend of the year, it was pretty lacklustre. Oh but the good news is that Cat Dad did get phase one of the new deck in place, do mew want to see? Of course mew do! MOL

This was the before shot when Cat Dad removed the old raised bed, dug out all the old soil, and prepared it for the new sleepers.

And a short while later, this is what it looked like.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® The New Deck - After

This is a vast, immense, and epic improvement on the before shot. The P.A. thinks she's going to paint the fence black. Well, she has the black paint, so there's no thinking about it; she's just got to get the brush in her mitten and get cracked on.

When a little snipping and pruning has taken place, the deck will extend further to the left, but we are delighted with Phase One.

And just before we jump into this week's headlines, just look what was hopping around on the front lawn at Nanny's and Grampaws the other day.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Lucky White Bunny

Yep, this cute little almost white bunny. How adorable!

Nanny rang the neighbours and asked if they were missing said bunny, and the neighbour asked if Nanny had been drinking!!! MOL MOL

Luckily, the P.A. had taken a picture of the bunny, so Nanny sent it to the neighbours, who came back with, "Oh yes, we did have a white rabbit, but it escaped, and now its offspring is everywhere!"

Hence the off-white bunny.

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

First up in the news this week

Parsley's Conjuring Up Fluff Knows What


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Parsley's Conjuring Up Who Knows What

Look at that laser focus he's got going off... we don't want to know.

Magic is a furry purrsonal thing, and whatever Parsley is conjuring is Parsley's business.

Unless it is a direct threat to The B Team, then it's everypawdy's business! MOL

Next up in the news

 Fudge's Hissed Off


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge's Hissed Off

Fudge was quite hissed off because Smooch and Pandora were hanging out under the gazebo, and he wasn't.

Look at the indignation emanating from every whisker. Jeez, that's intense! MOL 

However, no fluffs were given by either Smooch or Pandora.

Earlier, Fudge was waiting for his orange collar to be put on.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge Waiting For His Orange Collar To Be Put On

Mew see how patient he is? 

And now mew know why he was hissed off because he didn't get to go outside as Cat Dad was prepping for the new deck, and a supurr fluffy orange blur around the garden, while things are being constructed, is not safe.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


This week, Melvyn is modelling the last bandana for August.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn Modelling The Pink Flowers on Orange Bandana

He actually had the entire catwalk to himself this week. What a miracle! MOL 

Fudge was snoozing upstairs on his favourite jumbo cat cushion. Parsley was outside stalking some unsuspecting leaf, blowing around in the courtyard under Smooch's watchful gaze. Pandora was in the catservatory up in the gods while Amber was snoring, sorry, snoozing rather loudly on the sofa.

Check out Melvyn strutting his stuff on your preferred social media channel:





What Does Melvyn Do After Modelling?

BBHQ's furry own supurr model is usually worn out after his weekly modelling gig, which is incredibly labour intensive for about four and a half minutes. 

Yes, it really takes that long to walk up and down the catwalk three or four times and then take a couple of still shots.  

 After this monumentally intense and full-on four and a half minutes, he usually retires to one of three places. 

The first is the bed.

And the second top spot is in his glamping tent.

And his third favourite spot is in the Love Shroom.

He then sleeps the entire day away in total bliss of another epically epic modelling session! MOL
