The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **Dynamite Dahlias** ~ Fudge's Listening To Rain, Melvyn's Supurr Chilled, and Twilight Smooch ~ **PLUS** It's The Moon!!! MOL

This week on the news: pitter-patter of rain, mega chilled, twilight vibes and the moon

 Furbulous Floofy Greetings, Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for stopping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weather Report

The weather has remained cooler, a little breezy at times, with a splash of rain and low-20s temperatures, which, in all honesty, has been utterly glorious!

Though we keep seeing all this stuff online about getting extra food in, and emergency supplies because of the supurr El Nino that's building in the Specific Ocean - yes we know it's really the Pacific, but we prefer Specific! MOL

So we're not quite sure what that means, but it seems like a bit of pre-winter prepping is in the offing!  

This Week's Flower Offering

Dynamite Dahlias!

Just look at the colour of that; it is so intense, fiery, and honestly quite volcanic, mew should see them in real life, quite breathtaking in their meauty.

This year's flowers haven't done that great in the relentless scorchio sun, so seeing this the other day was a total win for that garden border! MOL

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

First up in the news...

Fudge's Listening To Rain

A gentle pitter-patter rain fell on the catservatory roof the other day; the sun was still shining as it fell, and Fudge sat there listening and watching the large drops roll down the glass.

It was quite lovely to watch! MOL

Next up in the news...

 Melvyn's Supurr Chilled

Melvyn was having a supurr chill moment as he snuggled in a black velvet winter coat the P.A. had pulled out of the wardrobe... yep, it's now a black velvet coat with random white fur motifs! MOL

The P.A. says she approves of the floof enhancements! MOL 

Finally this week...

Twilight Smooch

Smooch and the P.A. were doing a bit of moon-gazing the other night; it was furbulous! MOL

See today's really random photo below!

Today's Really Random Photo

We were going to share more bunker pics today, but then we remembered we haven't shared any moon pics for sooooo long, and the reason for that is we haven't seen it much this year. 

Quite bizarre, but it's been below the horizon unless it's waxing gibbous prior to the full moon.

Now here's the really strange thing... mew know we watch the moon; we've done it for years and years, so we're pretty familiar with where we normally see it from the BBHQ garden at different times of night.

But lately, its position from our particular viewing spot has seemed completely out of whack with what we're used to seeing. And on the night of the eclipse, it really had us scratching our heads.

In our highly scientific BBHQ opinion, the moon still has an operating virus. We call it Moodvid!!! MOL

We'll be back again on Friday with Melvyn, and more from the 'Oddity '- who knows what will happen next? The Fuzzykin might!!! MOL

 

Do join us then, as mew know how much we love your company.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **Delightful Daisies** ~ Melvyn's Catservatory Sun Puddle, Parsley's Checking Out The Clean Patio, and Fudge's Flat Out ~ **PLUS** More in The BBHQ Bunker!!! MOL

This week on the news: delightful daisies, sun puddles, patio inspections, flat-out snoozing and Essential Elevators

 Furbulous Floofy Greetings, Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for stopping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weather Report

Well, we did get the rain; it wasn't quite biblical, but the courtyard did get flooded to over ankle height. How do we know this? Because the P.A. had to go and shut the library door, and she waded through it while we all watched on from the catservatory! MOL 

It rained very heavily on and off, with several rather dazzling lightning storms, and a lot of thunder for a few days, but we did get a nice Bank Holiday Monday. 

Going forward, it remains unsettled, but so it goes; at least we aren't freezing or boiling, which is always a blessing! MOL

This Week's Flower Offering

Delightful daisies at BBHQ

These have done so well in the little flower box under the gazebo. There are three in total: this one, a blue one, and a white one. They are so pretty, but this yellow one is our favourite!

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

First up in the news...

Melvyn's Catservatory Sun Puddle

Melvyn found a lovely early morning sun puddle to bathe in... just look at that face; he's feeling so money supurrmarket right now! MOL

Next up in the news...

 Fudge's Flat Out

Well, if mew can't go in the garden, then a snooze on the sofa is happening...

Philosophy according to Fudge! MOL

Finally this week...

Parsley's Checking Out The Clean Patio

Parsley did an epic job of snoopervising a bit of patio cleaning... he said, and we quote, "Yep, good job!" MOL MOL

This is the bunker's main purrsonnel lift or elevator; what could possibly go wrong?

🛗 Essential Elevators

Getting around seventeen levels of BBHQ requires something a little more substantial than your average lift.

Enter Essential Elevators ~ a heavily reinforced, military-grade elevator big enough for ten fully armed cats, assorted equipment, and whatever questionable artefact somebody has decided to bring home this week.

It’s fast. It’s reliable. It’s virtually indestructible.

Its A.I. is also incredibly snarky.

Ask politely for Level Nine, and it may question your life choices before closing the doors. Press the wrong button and expect commentary. Press the emergency stop and… actually, just don’t.

There is one other tiny quirk.

Essential Elevators occasionally ignores the floor mew selected and takes mew somewhere else entirely.

Not because it’s broken.

Apparently, it simply knows better.

As Posie and Snowie discovered when they requested Level Eight and were cheerfully deposited on Level One instead, Essential Elevators really does live up to its unofficial motto:

“The only elevators to take mew where mew didn’t know mew wanted to go!”

So today I’m going to Level Nine.

At least, that’s where I’m hoping to end up.

Ping!

Oh fluff...

Yep... bunker life is unpredictable! MOL

We'll be back again on Friday with Melvyn, and more from the 'Oddity '- who knows what will happen next?
