The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **Full Moon Vibes** ~ Who The Fluff Was That? Pandora Found Another Sunspot, and Smooch Got Sliver A Sunspot ~ **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!

Well, we had some sunny days, then it rained all weekend, again!

Monday and Tuesday were rain-free and sunny, and the forecast for the rest of the week is sunny, getting up to a heady 16 degrees Celsius tomorrow, then cloudy and overcast for the weekend, and sunny with a high of 12 degrees Celsius predicted for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And fluff knows we need some sunny days.

It's been a crappy couple of weeks at BBHQ.

We had a radiator issue, water everywhere and spent the weekend replacing the last of the original rads in the house, before they did the same too. And no, that was not the type of indoor swimming pool the P.A. asked for! MOL

The dishwasher broke down the week before, and the pond pumps decided to go to pond pump heaven as well. Luckily, the dishwasher was repaired, but the same can't be said for the pond pumps.

Next month, it will be a full-scale drain of the pond, and new pumps will be installed. Not what we wanted.

Anyhoo, swiftly moving on ...

This was the full moon last night at BBHQ.

A bright full moon glows in a blue nighttime sky, surrounded by soft scattered clouds. A gentle lens flare arcs across the image, and bare tree branches reach up from the corner, giving the scene a crisp early‑March feeling. The mood is calm and celestial, matching the BBHQ theme for the Third Full Moon of 2026.

Here's a bit more info on last night's celestial event.

We finally got a glimpse of last night’s full moon here at BBHQ, glowing bright and meautiful in a crisp early‑March sky. Soft clouds drifted around it, the bare branches reached up as if trying to touch it, and the whole scene had that calm, celestial vibe that makes mew stop for a moment and just look.

While our view was stunning, we didn’t get the main event, the total lunar eclipse that turned the Moon a deep crimson “blood moon” for skywatchers across North America, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of East Asia. During the eclipse, the Earth moved directly between the Sun and the Moon, and as sunlight filtered through our atmosphere, only the red wavelengths reached the lunar surface, giving it that dramatic ruby glow.

Sadly, the eclipse wasn’t visible from the UK this time, so our moon stayed bright and silvery rather than spooky and scarlet. But it was still a gorgeous sight, and knowing it was the last total lunar eclipse until late 2028 made the whole moment feel a bit more special, even if we only got the non‑eclipsed version.

Pandora mentioned this in her Monthly Meowoscope on Monday, so clearly she was tuned into the cosmic schedule long before the rest of us! MOL

Righty ho, let's look at this week's news.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

Who The Fluff Was That?


Fudge, a confident ginger cat with bright green eyes, sits in the foreground giving a direct, slightly commanding stare as if supervising the room. Behind him, Melvyn, a gentle tabby‑and‑white cat, sits calmly on the floor, watching with a softer, more thoughtful expression. They’re indoors near a chair and a brick wall, looking like a perfectly mismatched duo—one bold, one observant.

Fudge and Melvyn were mid-snack in the catservatory when Sammy, from next door, who looks just like Melvyn, wandered into the courtyard.

Yep, Melvyn has a doppelganger, and Fudge, well, let's just say it was a good thing the door was closed.

Next up in the news...

Pandora Found Another Sunspot


Pandora, a long‑haired tortoiseshell cat with rich dark and golden fur, sits on the carpet facing a glass door, her body glowing in the sunlight. Her thick plume of a tail curls around her as she watches the world outside with calm, regal focus, looking every bit the thoughtful queen surveying her territory.

Pandora is the Queen of sunspots right now at BBHQ, last time she was under the gazebo

And yesterday, it was the catservatory.

In other news...

Smooch Got Sliver A Sunspot


Smooch, a white cat with bold black markings including a perfect heart‑shaped patch on his back, sits on a dark mat in a sunbeam, looking toward the camera with his calm, slightly serious expression. Sunlight highlights his fur while a bowl of kibble sits nearby, giving the scene a cosy “caught mid‑snack in his favourite sunspot” feeling.

Smooch then entered the catservatory after Pandora and got this intense beam.

At first, he thought he was being scanned by some nefarious gadgetry, but realised it was just the sun, and then everything went back to normal! MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

We're kicking this month with the gorgeous, Pretty Garden bandana, and it looks EPIC!

Melvyn, a tabby, brown, black‑and‑white cat with a bright, alert expression, stands on a kitchen countertop wearing a teal garden‑themed bandana decorated with flowers and a small illustrated figure. The colours pop against his fur as he poses confidently in the modern kitchen, looking every bit the BBHQ fashion model showing off the March bandana collection.

And, BBHQ's Supurr Model was contemplating doing a quick spin on the catwalk, but then he got distracted in the catservatory! MOL MOL

Melvyn, a tabby, brown, black‑and‑white cat, stands on a wooden floor beside an interactive green-and-white cat toy, gazing toward the open space ahead as if weighing up whether to launch into a dramatic catwalk strut. Another cat is partly visible inside a nearby cat house, and potted plants sit on a shelf by the glass wall overlooking the garden. The whole scene has a playful, thoughtful energy, as though Melvyn is mentally rehearsing his runway debut.

There were copious amounts of catnip on the scratcher he was standing on... no catwalk today, then! MOL 

He's really missing W.D.G. aka Were-Dee-Go, the invisible monster who lives behind the sofa, there was another postcard from Tunisia this week. Hopefully, he'll be back at BBHQ soon, and Melvyn will feel a lot happier.

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 March Bandana Selection, and as we're headed full steam into Spring, we chose some colourful and bright bandanas for this month. Plus, it's St Paddy's Day, too, and how could we not have one for that epic day! MOL

Four colourful triangular cat bandanas are arranged in a neat grid on a textured background, each labelled 1 to 4 as part of the March 2026 Collection. Bandana 1 has a purple base with bright floral and butterfly patterns. Bandana 2 features a green background with whimsical spring illustrations including a girl, birds, flowers, and a dog in a basket. Bandana 3 shows a cream background covered in multicoloured owls with pink and blue rickrack trim. Bandana 4 has a black background decorated with vibrant green shamrocks for a St Patrick’s Day theme. The overall look is cheerful and seasonal, showcasing the variety of designs available for the BBHQ cats.

2. Pretty Garden

3.  Colourful Owls

4. St Paddy's Day

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

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up!

How's your week going? 

If mew remember last week, it had been raining, like we never thought it was going to fluff off. We were actually going to get the pirate ship out of the lagoon on Level 8 and go for a sail around the village, but then ... then ... after a particularly blustery and squally Friday, a double rainbow appeared.

Yes, we know there's only one rainbow visible in the photo; the second was too faint to capture on film.

Anyhoo, the weather dried up, it was a little drizzly late Caturday afternoon, but on Sunday we had a pawsitively heady 14 degrees Celsius. Monday was sunny, Tuesday sunnier, and today it's predicted to climb to an astounding 16 degrees.

Well, with that news mew can tickle my toebeans and roll me catnip! MOL

A bright rainbow arcs through an overcast sky, partially framed by the bare branches of a tree. It appears behind a brick building with a sloped roof, with a small evergreen tree nearby. In the foreground, a dark metal railing and some shrubs are visible, creating a peaceful outdoor scene at BBHQ.

This was the moon of Friday night, and I shall use the term Eric and Flynn's Mum mentioned in a comment a while ago. She said, and I quote, "This is a fingernail moon."

Wow, don't mew love that expression, it's EPIC!

A slim crescent moon hangs in a deepening blue evening sky above BBHQ. Silhouetted leafless tree branches and the dark tiled roofline of a building frame the scene, with a single cable stretching across the sky, creating a calm twilight moment.

So, there mew have it, rainbows and a fingernail moon, sun, warmth, very little rain, the bulbs are sprouting at a rate of knots, and the nights are drawing out.

So we've got oodles of happy, content vibes happening right now at BBHQ - it doesn't take a lot! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at what the rest of 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 

Parsley's Epic Find


Parsley, a black cat wearing a collar, sits on a gravel surface beside a terracotta pot filled with green leaves. He faces the plant intently, as if inspecting a single surviving sprig of catnip in the courtyard/garden at BBHQ.

Parsley couldn't believe his luck, normally everypawdy goes out of the patio doors during the winter months, but the other day, he decided he wanted to go out the back door, and he found this one lone sprig of catnip that survived the winter.

He was feeling so lucky, while Fudge below missed out completely! MOL

Fudge, a ginger cat with a fluffy tail, stands on terracotta garden tiles facing a moss‑covered rock and green plants. He wears a dark collar and appears to be surveying the garden, creating a peaceful outdoor “pawtrol” moment at BBHQ.

Fudge went to check the catmint in the millwheel. He was deeply disturbed as the P.A. scalped it a few days ago.

He was not a happy camper. #ohdear 

Bet he wishes he had gone out the back door instead!!! MOL

Smooch Loves His Spidery Basket


Smooch, a white cat with black markings, is curled up in a wicker basket lined with a red blanket. A red heart‑shaped cushion sits behind him, creating a warm, cosy scene. The basket rests near a window with a few fallen leaves visible outside, adding a seasonal touch. If you look closer the basket has cobwebs....

So, mew may or may not remember; it depends on whether mew were here in January. The P.A. was washing all the blankets and snuggle mats around the house. She works through this endless task every few weeks. 

Anyhoo, the basket under the gazebo, this one, with Smooch in. The day she wanted to wash all of these, Smooch was adamant it wasn't happening, because he was in there.

 This is where he hangs out for hours at a time, and he was just drying out after a wander through the wet plants the other day.

So we're going to make mew laugh now, the P.A. went to pull the blanket out on the weekend, when he wasn't in it, and there was a fluffing ginormous spider peeking out from the side of the blanket.

Yep, the blanket didn't get washed again, can't think why??!!! MOL

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Melvyn's modelling the final Valentine bandana today ~ Red hearts with red fringing

Melvyn, a white cat with brown, grey and black markings, stands on a reflective kitchen countertop wearing a black bandana decorated with red and pink hearts and a red fringe trim. Behind him are cream‑coloured cabinets, a tiled backsplash, and a window letting in natural light, creating a bright, modern kitchen setting.

Doesn't he look cute?

Sorry, the camera just isn't working at the moment. It seems rather odd; maybe it's time for a new camera! MOL 

As soon as we get the videography back on track, Melvyn will be back on the catwalk properly.
