Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up!

How's your week going? 

We did get a couple of sunspots, very briefly. Parsley is enjoying one below, but then it rained. And rained. And rained some more. Then it got colder. Then it warmed up a couple of degrees. Then got even colder. All in all, a really horrid weather week.

And all the low-lying fields are like lakes, totally flooded. Years ago, when this happened, and then it froze really hard, the P.A. would go ice skating; she said it was great fun. We said, nah, mew can keep that! MOL 

Good news, though, the Spring bulbs are growing rather quickly. Maybe by the month's end, we'll have a bit of colour. The P.A. still has some roses to prune, but it's too cold and damp; she needs a portable heat lamp to keep her warm while she's in the garden! MOL

And if mew've missed Spring as much as we have, here's a little throwback to April 14th last year... because we all need colourful flowers to look at.

A round black metal planter sits on a bed of multicoloured pebbles, filled with bright red tulips and lush green foliage. Behind it, another planter holds pale purple tulips. Large windows reflect more plants and garden décor, creating a vibrant, springlike scene

Aren't they pretty, and the purrfect colour for this week!

Anyhoo, let's look at what the heathens have been up to this week.

A festive divider featuring a central pink cupcake topped with a red heart, flanked by pink gift boxes adorned with hearts and swirled pink lollipops. Smaller red hearts surround the arrangement, creating a cheerful and romantic design perfect for Valentine's Day or love-themed celebrations.

First up in the news 

 Smooch Is Making An Enquiry


Smooch, a white cat with black markings on its head sits indoors, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The cat is perched on the P.A.’s lap. Behind them is a softly lit living room with a television screen glowing blue, a white cabinet holding a plant and a framed cat photo, and a pink cat tree.

Smooch got on the P.A.'s lap. He does this after dinner every night. The pawrents retire to the upstairs sitting room. Smooch is first on the sofa, usually Fudge turns up within a few minutes, then Melvyn. 

So Smooch has about four minutes to enjoy a completely uninterrupted brush session.

Pandora Didn't Want To Share The Snuggle Mat


Two cats sit together on a patchwork quilt draped over a plaid couch. On the left is Pandora, a long‑haired tortoiseshell cat lounging comfortably, while on the right sits Fudge, an orange tabby looking directly at the camera. Behind them are patterned cushions, a white textured pillow, and a bookshelf in the background, creating a warm, homely scene.

Pandora was enjoying her nap on this snuggle mat when Fudge decided he wanted to snooze there ...  poor lambkin, there's only about another ten snuggle mats all over the house, but no, he wanted the brown one.

Parsley's Brief Sunspot


Parsley, a sleek black cat, sits in a sunny outdoor spot on a brick surrounded by gravel and dried leaves. Sunlight highlights the shine of his fur as he rests beside a wooden waterbutt.

Parlsey found a sunspot and enjoyed it for five minutes before the clouds came and ruined everything! 

Then it rained ... again ...

It all started off so well, but then Fudge had to pounce and cause a kerfuffle! MOL

Check out his videos on your preferred social media channel:



Apologies for no YouTube video this week; the P.A. accidentally filmed in wide shot mode, and YouTube wouldn't allow any mewsic to be applied in that format... oh dear... and yes, we have reprimanded her for this heinous oversight.

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up!

How's your week going? 

Snowmaggedon didn't arrive after all those HORROR WEATHER PREDICTIONS. But it's only February, and yep, there's still a chance right through March, so we may get some at some point, though it's not guaranteed. We'd actually prefer it missed us altogether! MOL

The weather in recent days has been getting cooler. It was sunny on Caturday and Sunday, but the wind chill has plummeted to minus fingues since Monday. Roll on Spring, and talking of warmer months, we noticed a lot of the bulbs are growing really well, so with a bit of luck we should get some colour ... soooon .... but not soon enough!   

It was a full moon on Sunday, so here's the obligatory moon photo.

A nighttime garden scene illuminated by a bright moon partially veiled by clouds. Leafless bushes and trees fill the foreground, their textures highlighted by the moonlight. On the right, a garden arch or trellis adds structure to the shadowy landscape. The interplay of light and dark creates a moody, atmospheric setting.

It was quite odd, one second the moon wasn't there, the P.A. even checked her moon app to see where it should have been in the sky. And then the clouds parted, and it was visible.... MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at what the heathens have been up to this week.

A festive divider featuring a central pink cupcake topped with a red heart, flanked by pink gift boxes adorned with hearts and swirled pink lollipops. Smaller red hearts surround the arrangement, creating a cheerful and romantic design perfect for Valentine's Day or love-themed celebrations.

First up in the news 

Fudge and Parlsey on Pawtrol


Fudge, the ginger cat, and Parsley, the black cat, sit side by side on a paved area, gazing out over a gravel-covered yard. Their backs are to the camera, creating a peaceful scene of quiet companionship. A green bush frames the left side, while a black container rests on the right, adding balance to the tranquil outdoor setting.

It's been damp, did we mention that? 

So Fudge and Parsley decided that they'd do their garden pawtrol by the gazebo.
    
Fudge insisted that he could see everything from the sofa, and it was much more civilised than going and getting one's paws or fur wet if they went deeper into the garden.

Parlsey agreed, and they had a lovely time! MOL

Pandora Decided To Be Like Fudge


Pandora, a long-haired brindle-torti cat with black and golden-brown fur, sits gracefully on a dark brown tiled roof. Her tail curls around her body as she gazes slightly to the left, framed by weathered and moss-speckled tiles. The rooftop setting highlights her adventurous spirit and feline poise.

Pandora has been studying Fudge's technique for roof exploration - we think she nailed it! MOL

Smooch Is Damp - Melvyn's Sneaky Ambush


Smooch, a white cat with dark markings, sits in the foreground on a woven rug, gazing directly at the camera with slightly damp fur. Behind him, Melvyn—blurred in motion—slinks across the room, setting up a sneaky ambush. The cozy indoor setting includes a plaid-covered couch and soft cushions, adding to the drama of this feline face-off

Smooch went on a covert solo mission into the coal box and came out looking like Parsley. Well, that is a slight exaggeration. He was a muted black, so the P.A. had to wash his fur with a warm flannel. He didn't like the hair dryer, freaked out and went to sit by the woodburner

He'd just got dry apart from his chest fur, when Melvyn thought it would be a good idea for a sneak ambush ... yeah ... guess what Smooch did?

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **SNOWMAGGEDON STILL LOOMING BUT NOT HERE - Allegedly** ~ Lost and Found with Fudge, Pandora Filed A Complaint, and Parsley's Afternoon Snack Time ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

Whimsical digital collage titled “Midweek News Round Up with The B Team ©BionicBasil®.” Ten cats with varied fur patterns sit in a row at the bottom, each with distinct expressions. Behind them are illustrated elements including newspapers, trees, and a frosty blue sky adorned with bunting flags, evoking a winter garden theme. A speech bubble in the top right corner says, “WHAT’S THE GOSSIP THIS WEEK?” adding a playful, newsy vibe to the scene.

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up! 

Well, Snowmaggedon didn't happen... yet... but it's still being threatened; however, we do have another rather squally storm occurring as we type. It's cold, raining, and windy... the trifecta of outdoor misery!  And no, we have not been outside! MOL  

And OMC, we are nearly in February, can mew believe it?
 
And funnily enough, we saw these two doves in one of the trees at BBHQ today. They look like lovebirds! MOL

We had to enlarge the photo, so apologies, it's blurry!

Two Eurasian collared doves perch closely together on a bare tree branch at BBHQ, surrounded by a tangle of leafless twigs and trunks. Their soft grey plumage and black neck markings stand out against the muted winter backdrop, evoking a quiet moment of companionship in the garden. www.bionicbasil.com

Anyhoo, here's what's been happening at BBHQ this week.

The Midweek News Round Up Divider A symmetrical botanical illustration featuring lush greenery, white flowering plants, and vibrant red and white blossoms. Small animals like rabbits nestle among the foliage, while a bird perches in the center foreground. The scene is rich in texture and color, set against a soft, natural background, creating a peaceful and enchanting garden atmosphere—ideal as a decorative post divider for nature-themed or whimsical content.

First up in the news

Lost and Found with Fudge


Fudge, a fluffy orange cat with a grand bushy tail, leans forward on a carpeted floor, head lowered in curious investigation. His body faces away from the camera, drawing attention to the expressive sweep of his tail. A glossy white cabinet stands in the background, and the low-angle view emphasizes the texture of the carpet and the quiet intensity of Fudge’s feline focus. at www.bionicbasil.com

Fudge lost his mouse, found it again, lost it again, then couldn't see it hiding under his ginormous tail.

He did find it... eventually! MOL

Pandora was hissed off because of the colder weather, and there was no fire in the sitting room. Here she's about to light it with her mind! MOL

Parsley, a sleek black cat, eats from a bowl nestled on the bottom shelf of a rustic white console table. Above him, decorative items like a potted plant, crystals, and a framed sign reading “When it Rains look for RAINBOWS” add charm to the cozy scene. A water dispenser and container of dry food sit nearby, while a white bench with black cushions and a woven rug complete the warm, pet-friendly space. www.bionicbasil.com

Parsley was enjoying a mid-afternoon snack...

He did ask for a new menu. So the P.A. got out the new Whiskas kibble with tasty pockets of yumminess.
