Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ It Did Break 40C Last Week, Follow the Floof Day 8 and Smooch Caught Red-Pawed Sleeping On The Job **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A Who Sounds Like A Politician?

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We hope wherever mew are that your week has been fabulous and the weather is clement! 

First up in the news this week

It did break 40C last Chewsday at BBHQ, the hottest ever day ever in the history of Mewton-Clawson and it remained warm until the weekend.

Luckily we have a portable air-con unit for upstairs which the P.A. purrchased way back in 2015, so sleeping wasn't a problem, but the house was still heaving with heat for days after as the bricks slowly cooled down.

We've had a few light showers but nothing noteworthy yet, and in the news, it said that we're headed for a drought. If it's not one thing it's another, and it's all bad.

 Mew know ever since covid appeared, it's just been bad news after bad news, and when we thought things were improving Russia declared war on Ukraine, fuel and energy prices soared into outer space and continue to head off into uncharted territory, food prices are increasing daily, inflation is in another universe, and then monkey-pox decides it wants to join the endless bad news pawty.

It's like wow - seriously what the fluff is going on?

Next up in the news

Well after the bad news segment above, we thought we needed to share something much, much lighter, so Fudge is here with more Follow the Floof!

Fudge decided to stalk a pigeon up the tree and went into full purredator mode!!! MOL

Watch the video on TikTok

Follow the Floof Day 8 

We're still waiting for his report, he says he's typing it up and we'll get to read it soon but in the meantime stay tuned for more Follow the Floof.

Finally this week

Smooch Caught Red-Pawed Sleeping On The Job

Look at that!!!

Can mew believe that Smooch was caught snoozing on the job?  WOW, we can't either! MOL

If mew like Smooch's desk, check out how we made it on our Crafting with Cat's post here.

And in Smooch's defence, he did say that he'd been on nights in the bunker, so he was allowed a quick nap under the desk! 

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.

Katie Isabellaasked on Sunday's post: 

Parsley, I meant to ask you...are you and @Admiralhester1 and @Katiebella2 connected on Twitter?

We checked our Twitter account, and yes we are following both of mew! But we don't go on Twitter a lot, we're more on Instagram and TikTok. 

Although on TikTok we only share vids, we're more sociable on Instagram.

Memories of Eric and Flynnsaid on last weeks News Round-Up

I hope none of the fires are near you. Most of the fires this way are moorland, most likely caused by people being careless with BBQs!

On Chewsday evening aka the hottest day, we could smell burning grass and see a plume of smoke further down the village near another cousin of the P.A.'s. So she made a call to see if they were burning and if they needed assistance, but it was all ok, thank goodness. 

There was a huge fire on one farm further up from the P.A.'s business, and sadly a lot of woodland was scorched too.

We hope all is well in your neck of the woods too! 

Cathy Keishasaid on Amber's Surprise book review

Great book review altho the fill-in answers sounded a bit like a politician skirting around the issues. 

The P.A. is laughing, no one has ever compared her to a politician before, she's normally accused of being too blunt and basically shooting at point-blank range with zero regard for fall-out! LOL LOL

Eastside Catssaid on our second Crafting with Cats post: 

Hmm...wonder if I can adapt this design to make voodoo dolls.

Hahahaha...just kidding! *wink*

OHHHHHH nice idea, and yes they would make excellent voodoo dolls! 

That's us done for today, we will be back on Friday with another fluffers post just for mew, and if mew missed yesterday's post click here to catch up on

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge, The Phantom Plant Squasher Revealed and Melvyn's Gone Bananas

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

 We mentioned on Sundays post, that the Time Travelling Telephone Box prep has begun, and oh dear what a job! It was supposed to have been painted in 2020, so it's pretty rough now, but anyhoo better late than never and it will look gleaming in about a week or so! 

We had to scrape quite a lot of the paint off the door as it had started to flake. And after a bit of a sand, the widows will be taped off and the first coat of undercoat will go on.

If mew want to know the history of the K6 telephone kiosk, which is this one, click here to find out all about it.

The P.A. was wondering who kept snoozing in the ornamental grass plants and squishing them into little nests, and the other day she caught the cuplrit red-pawed! MOL

Check out Parsley's Instagram video

He loves it!

Finally this week

Melvyn's Gone Bananas

As it's Melvyn's birthday week, he decided he needed to go a little bananas and he found the purrfect bandana to wear at the same time! MOL

Don't furget that his 5th birthday rave and giveaway is still happening if mew want to pop down to level 11 in the bunker and join in the fun.

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge, Hanging Out In The Garden with Parsley AND Melvyn's Doing A Spot Of Burd Watching **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We'll be sharing the winner of Fudge's epic birthday giveaway on Friday's post, so stay tuned to see if it is mew. 

And mew might remember on Sunday's post we mentioned that we were transplanting a few seedlings, well we planned on watching while the P.A. did all the work and transplanting! MOL

Here's a snap of some of the self-set seedlings prior to being moved.

Some of the plants are tiny, like the lavender, they are not even 1 cm or 1/2 inch tall, so they have to be extracted with much care. The good news is they are now in pots or other places around the garden which we'll share next week.

Next up in the news

Hanging Out In The Garden with Parsley

Parsley is such a reliable dude, he always stays in the garden and loves reclining on the mill-wheels just watching the wildlife, buglife and birdlife go by. 

Sometimes he hides in the border, and he's completely undetectable when he goes into his full Purredator mode.

He laughed himself silly the other day as the P.A. was looking for him for an hour, and she'd walked by his hiding place half a dozen times and didn't seen him until he finally decide to uncloak and appear as if by magic in front of her. 

The P.A. did mutter a couple of unspeakables as he made her really late for work. 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Doing A Spot Of Burd Watching

Melvyn doesn't get out in the garden very much these days as he's a total liability. So when he does go outside he's heavily snoopervised in case he decides to take a little unauthorised trip around the village again.

Anyhoo, he did enjoy his last outing a few days ago and he loved watching all the burds at the burd-feeder squabbling over the seed.

He was literally transfixed by them! MOL

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.

Memories of Eric and Flynn asked on last week's News Round-Up: 

 Fudge what happened to that tuft of fur on your left shoulder, day 4?

Fudge says, "Well it's a really funny story, and if mew haven't seen the aforementioned tuft, click the day 4 link above and check it out on TikTok! Now I'll tell mew about the tuft, when I first arrived at BBHQ way, way back in the day and the P.A. released me from the carrier into the downstairs office, she noticed that same tuft sticking up and she thought it was some loose fur and tried to pull it off. It didn't come off because it is furrmly attached to my purrson. It is actually located in the centre of my back between my shoulder blades, and it has some long, whiskery strands supported by a floofy tuft, I like to think of it as a special antenna of sorts, a magical extension if mew will, anyhoo I can tell mew this it is very sensitive to touch!" MOL MOL 

I hope that answers your question.

That's us done for today, though we will be back on Friday with the first Friday Fluffers of the current season, and if mew missed Monday's post click here to catch up on our epically epic 10-year blogoversary celebration!

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge, Smooch Got Moved Into The Shade AND It Rained All Day Caturday **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Epic news, Smooch's Birthday Goodie Box finally reached Catwoods Porch Party safe and sound, and Basil's Birthday Goodie Box reached Tinsel and Naughty Netty, so there are quite a few rather happy cats this week! That's what we like to hear!!! MOL 

First up in the news this week

Follow The Floof Some More with Fudge

Fudge really likes his new mini-series on TikTok, and mew can still watch the videos if mew don't have an account. Mew just won't be able to comment or like the post.

Follow the Floof Day Four

Follow the Floof Day Five

Follow the Floof Day Six is coming later this week.

Next up in the news

Smooch Got Moved Into The Shade

Last week was rather warm, and on Thursday it was especially hot, and Smooch was laying on the bench in the courtyard in the full sun, so the P.A. picked him up and placed him on the right side of the bench, which was in the shade and about 8 degrees cooler! MOL

And this was his reaction, so funny! 

Finally this week

 It Rained All Day Caturday

And after the hot weather on Thursday and Friday, it rained all day on Caturday.

Pandora loves being in the garden, and she spent hours snoozing under the gazebo while the gentle rain pitter-pattered down.

This was great for the trees and all the plants in the garden, as they got a lovely soaking at a gentle pace, and it meant the P.A. could have a day off watering all the pots.

It's also quite hot again this week at BBHQ, so the door painting is not happening, as the P.A. will probably burst into flames if she's out in the sun too long! MOL

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.

Edie asked:

Is Smooch knitting a tank cozy in the craft room?

Smooch's reply: Sadly, that's the wrong answer, but I'm sure Jake will love what I'm creating! MOL MOL 

Wendy asked: 

 Are Smooch and Melvyn related?

No, they're not related. Smooch came from a feral family at the P.A.'s work in 2012, mew can read all about his early days here. And Melvyn arrived at BBHQ in 2019, his debut was on our Valentine's Day crafting post, and I don't think we've ever shared his story, we must do one at some point.

Eastside Cats asked:

Am curious if you've ever contacted a psychic or wizard to help you communicate with any of your ghostly visitors?

Yes, we had a couple of psychics visit BBHQ, I think we spoke about one of the visits here, although not in-depth. The P.A. will divulge more in the autumn/fall.

That's us done for today, Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew and her very last review of the current season, and if mew missed yesterday's post click here to join in on Fudge's 7th Birthday pawty and Giveaway.
