The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Pandora and Miss Flumpit's Standoff, Fudge In The Basket, Meanwhile Fudge Was Nesting, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Oodles of greetings from BBHQ, and oh my cod, what a busy week we've had. Firstly, let's do the weather report; it has been a mix of sunny days, breezy breezes and still nights. So rather pleasant, one would say, and we're not complaining at all.

The moon was on the missing list again, and when it did appear, it was too low in the sky and four hours behind its usual placement. We think there's seriously something off at the moonbase, as we said before, staffing issues or a virus aka MOON-VID... We'll keep mew updated on its placement if we see it again this coming week.

And many, many apologies for missing the blog hops again. Grandpaw is unwell, Nanny is stressed and had an allergic reaction to her medication, and lots of fluffed-up stuff is happening in the background. We'll try to do better this week...

Remember the Four-Leaf Clover Kit from the other week? 

Well, the P.A. finally managed to plant the seeds, and we have proof! MOL

Look at those little kernals of life, all ready to get snuggled under a little blanket of compost and watered well.

We're not sure if they're going to germinate, being so old, but we'll let you know in a week or two, if there's any life left in them! MOL

>^.^<

Last week, we got this question from one of our epic blogging pals, and we love questions. So if mew ever want to ask anything, feel free! 

Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryu

 #1 is asking if you remember Michael Fish?

Yes, the P.A. remembers him and the fateful weather forecast way back in 1987! What a cluster fluff that was.

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

First up in the news this week

Pandora and Miss Flumpit's Standoff

At precisely 7.11 am the other morning, this was happening in the garden! 

We'll report more as we get new intel, but needless to Miss Flumpit had to use another route home.

Next up in the news

Fudge In The Basket

Fudge decided that he was having the basket on the landing on Monday. Now, usually Amber is rather keen on this spot, but Fudge was determined to get his floof ensconced before she turned up! #OHDEAR

In Other News

 Smooch Has Abandoned His Vacuumed Basket

Last week, mew may remember that Smooch's basket under the gazebo had a clean. Well, turns out, he's not loving it, and has taken to using the doormat instead.

He's even asked if the P.A. can put some dried leaves and other stuff back into it, because it doesn't feel right anymore! MOL

Finally this week

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ What Did Smooch Think To His Basket Getting Vacuumed? Why Was Melvyn Was Sulking? Amber knows, Meanwhile Fudge Was Nesting, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, it's been another mixed bag of weather again at BBHQ this week; in fact, we've had more gusty, blustery weather in the last two weeks than we've had all winter.

It's been a little bit overcast and cooler. However, the mainstream news headlines are threatening with a 'monstrous heatwave' over the next few days, good gravy, why do they have to sensationalise the weather all the time, like it's some evil omen? I can't catch my breath at the absurdity of it all. 

Seriously, back in the day, the weather maps in the UK were green, and the weather person on the TV would place little stickers of clouds, sun, rain, wind, etc, and slap them on the map in the appropriate places.

Now, all the maps are a violent, threatening, life-ending shade of RED if the temperature gets above 22 degrees Celsius, like what the fluff?!

GET GRIP PEEPS!

Anyhoo, enough of that weather stuff, just look at what sprung up on the lawn at BBHQ last week.

We've got our very own Fairy Ring!

At this very moment, as we're typing, Cat Dad is out there with the mower, the P.A. did give him STRICT instructions not to decimate it - we'll let mew how that went next week! MOL

 This Is NOT Parsley 

Nope, this is not Parsley; this is Morty, who lives across the road, actually next door to Miss Fumpit. Honestly, anypawdy would think that BBHQ is a casual drop-in centre for all the Mewton-Clawson cats! MOL

And while we don't mind visitors at all, we do mind that somepawdy has decimated one of the catnip plants that was purposefully hidden in the vegetable garden away from the casual drop-ins... we're going to have to put it in a cage!

More Meautiful Roses Blooming At BBHQ

Every week, more and more of the roses bloom. Just look at this selection, just gorgeous!

The white ones, well, we have a confession to make. This is one of two stardard types, that were planted over twenty years ago, but sadly at the end of last year, they were looking a bit worse for wear, so the P.A. said to Cat Dat, "get the big loppers and butcher them, then in the Spring we'll take them out and plant new ones."

Well, mew could have dipped us in double cream, then rolled us in catnip, as we couldn't have been any more surprised when the dead-looking, severely scalped rose tree skeletons started sprouting new growth and, OH MY COD, have grown so much and are flowering like never before. 

Seriously, the P.A. thought they were done for and going on the bonfire, but no, so the moral of the story is, if mew butcher your roses in winter, leave them in the ground, don't pull them up, and maybe they might sprut again the following Spring.

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

First up in the news this week

 What Did Smooch Think To His Basket Getting Vacuumed?

Smooch's basket under the gazebo was vacuumed the other day, and he didn't like it. He wanted to know where his spider pals had gone! MOL

Next up in the news

Why Was Melvyn Was Sulking?

Yep, Melvyn was sulking... Amber will tell mew why.

Amber Snoozing On Her Favourite Blanket

Mew see this is Amber's favourite blanket, and Melvyn has taken a shine to it in recent weeks.

Amber is NOT pleased.

She has banned him from said blanket, but he has been sneaking on it when she's been snoozing in the catservatory.

Anyhoo, she's now told him that if he gets on it one more time, she's docking his pay at the library! 

#ohdear

In Other News

Meanwhile, Fudge Was Nesting

So while all the furore over Amber's blanket was happening, Fudge continued to nest on his couch in his favourite blankets! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Caticorns smashed it in the voting last week, so here's Melvyn doing what he does best! 

Melvyn was being really playful while modelling this one, as mew can tell! MOL

And as he modelled this bandana way back in May 2023, we have videos to share again!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch, Melvyn & Fudge Making A Request, Pandora's On The Fence, Parsley Got Wet, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday from BBHQ! Well, the weather has been a mix of rain, wind and sun, so not too bad, as we need the rain, though the wind has been a bit too fur ruffling for our liking but that said, it's somethimes nice to get that cool breeze especially when it's been a bit humid, which it has.

On Sunday, the P.A. and Cat Dad went to the cinema to watch the final Mission Impossible movie, and what a total disaster that was. Twenty minutes in, they left, as the soundtrack was so unbearably and obnoxiously loud that it was literally a mission impossible to tolerate it! MOL 

They were both pretty hissed off,  but after going to the ticket desk to explain, they got two free tickets to visit another time. Have mew ever experienced a movie at the cinema where it was too loud?

Anyhoo, the other day, when in the potting shed, the P.A. found this box of Grow Your Own Four Leaf Clover. Now, this is decades old, dating back well over 20 years, so she decided that she should try to grow the seed.

Here's what came in the box, so we'll keep mew posted on the germination, or not, as the case may be.  

Years ago, at Nanny's and Grampaw's house, there used to be a small stone trough near the front door, and that used to be full of four-leaf clovers. The P.A. picked no end and laminated them, and she still has them today.

And below is one of our favourite roses, in full bloom.

This one sits by the back door, so it's lovely to see every time mew walk in and out of the house.

The potted box tree on the other side of the back door has sadly died, (it was 18 years old), so we need to replace that in the coming weeks, and the box hedging on the patio near the gazebo has a massive caterpillar infestation and is looking a little worse for wear right now. So the P.A. has bought a product that has something called nematodes in it, which are bird and bee friendly and will help with the caterpillars' ravenous appetites. So we'll let mew know how that goes...

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

First up in the news this week

 Smooch, Melvyn & Fudge Making A Request

Yesterday at about 8:30 am, this was the queue at the patio door. Yep, the request was put in, but by the look on these three faces, the response was not fast enough! 

The P.A. had just been to feed the tadpoles, and obviously, without snoopervision, another crime committed in the eyes of the waiting trio! MOL

Next up in the news

Pandora's On The Fence

We did get some nice sunshine yesterday afternoon, and Pandora got herself purrched on the fence, don't ask why, because we have no clue at all!

In Other News

 Parsley Got Wet

And even though it was lovely with blue skies and sunshine yesterday afternoon, the morning was a total washout, which Parsley got caught in on his mad dash to the back door from under the carport.

As mew can see, he was not a happy camper with his damp fur! #ohdear

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

The Psychedelic Feline bandana was the top pick from last week.

Doesn't he look epic?

And as he modelled this bandana way back in March 2023, we have videos to share again!

Check out Melvyn's videos on your favourite social media channel below, and he chose classic 80's tracks to strut to:

TikTok - Katrina and the Waves

Instagram - Bronski Beat

YouTube - Yazoo

 

Which one should he model next?

Here's the June Bandana collection, and we chose a really fun selection for mew this time.
