The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Parsley's Tiny Sunspot, Smooch And Fudge's Sunday Afternoon Snoopervising, Pandora's Not Daft, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday everypawdy, well the sun is shining today - Tuesday - although it's not as warm as it was on the weekend when the temperature reached a pawsitively heady 17 degrees Celsius! 

It was meautiful, and the same again on Sunday, although Monday returned to the normal chilly low of 8 degrees Celsius. 

We don't know about mew, but we love trees, and this meauty above is on the way out of Mewton-Clawson, heading towards Fuskerton. And on Caturday, Cat Dad stopped on the way back to BBHQ after work to snap this. Isn't it epic? It lost a really big limb about three years ago, it came down after a storm and landed in the paddock over the hedge. Hopefully, it'll survive for many more years to come.

There are several interesting trees lurking about Mewton-Clawson, and we'll see if we can get some more snaps to share with mew over the coming months.

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

First up in the news this week...

 Parsley's Tiny Sunspot

Parsley found a supurr tiny sunspot to catch a few warms in over the weekend.

He adores chilling out under the gazebo, and is really looking forward to the summer months, so he can spend his days with Smooch snoozing in comfort! MOL

Next up in the news...

Smooch And Fudge's Sunday Afternoon Snoopervising

These two heathens were chief in charge of snoopervising on Sunday afternoon, and found the purrfect spot to observe all the garden.

They were a little hissed off as the P.A. did empty three of the millwheel centres and put new compost in and planted some ornamental grasses temporarily. As in the last couple of years, the catmint hasn't done any good at all, but that could be because in the summer ants take up residence, and perhaps damage the roots. So we're going to try this.

Oh, and don't worry, there's still copious amounts of catmint plants in other places around the garden!

In other news...

 Pandora's Not Daft

After the heady weekend warms, Monday as we said was a bit frigid, so the woodburner was stoked up and the sitting room was as Amber likes to say 'Totally Tropical!' 

So much so that Pandora decided that climbing right to the top of the cat tree and ensconcing herself by the ceiling would be beyond tropical. And it was, and she spent most of the day here snoozing! MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Last week mew voted for the furbulous Colourful Owls bandana, and it looks EPIC!

Look, he's even waving to his fans in the garden! MOL

Oh and good news, he got another postcard, this time from Madeira, and all being well W.D.G. will be back next week.

And the bad news is that Prudence is still on the scene, hopefully not for long, as Erin and Amber have come up with a supurr cunning plan, but mew'll have to stop by on Friday to find out what they've cooked up! MOL

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

The March Collection:

1. Spring Vibes

2. Pretty Garden

3.  Colourful Owls

4. St Paddy's Day

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge's Horror at The Catmint Being Pruned, Pandora's Watching The Birds from The Deck, Smooch's Brief Sunspot, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up!

Happy Wednesday, and great news, it's been sunny and warm during the day for over the last week or so. In other words, it's been wonderful weather, the nighttime temperatures are still near 0 - 1 degrees Celsius, but that's ok because we're inside and all snuggly bugly! MOL

Oh, and just look at what's sprung up in the last few days!

The baby daffodils are blooming. We prefer the more compact ones as they stay upright for much longer.

Do mew see the bee below?

The purple crocus is such a stunning colour, and the bees, who started waking up last week, are now visiting. A really good sign that Spring has sprung at last. 

And mew may have noticed that the blog has a new header and all the graphics have changed again, well, mew know what we're like, we have to change with the seasons! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top news reports.

First up in the news this week...

Fudge's Horror at The Catmint Being Pruned

Fudge was not a happy camper, as the P.A. has pruned slaughtered the catmint in recent days, as it was getting far too straggly. She's hoping that the haircut will prompt it to grow back much thicker and lusher in the coming months.

There are other catmint plants lurking around the garden, but this one is Fudge's favourite.

Next up in the news...

Pandora's Watching The Birds from The Deck

Pandora was enjoying a spot of birdwatching from the deck yesterday. She could have even sat in a small sun puddle but she preferred to sit on the steps of the deck.

In other news...

Smooch's Brief Sunspot

Smooch caught a brief sunspot in the courtyard as he was bipping past one of the raised beds.

He then declared it was too cold in the courtyard, as this time of year the sun is very limited there, and he promptly returned to the comfort of his Shroom! MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Last week mew voted for the gorgeous pretty Garden bandana, and it looks EPIC!

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

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 Egypt this week. Hopefully, he'll be back at BBHQ soon, and Melvyn will feel a lot happier.

Plus, if mew missed all the action from the Mewton-Clawson Library on Friday, click here to catch up, as Melvyn has a stalker.

And Amber will be revealing one of the photos Prudence has sent Melvyn this week, OH MY COD, mew won't catch your breath!

In fact, poor Melvyn started to scream when he saw it... don't miss Friday's post to find out what's been happening in the library! 

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

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch And Sauce's Slither of a Sunspot, Melvyn Denying Monday's Existence, Fudge's Summer Shape Up, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

The weather has been lovely since the end of last week, with sunny spells and warmer temperatures, although the nighttime temps are still too cold. There have been a few drizzly moments, too, but all things considered, so much better than the last couple of months.

And here's some Spring hope...

The hyacinths are awake! WOOOO HOOOOO!

The P.A. planted a selection of tulips, anemones and hyacinths in the autumn in shades of mystic purples and, I think, with a splash of white for contrast, but don't quote me on that, as I wasn't there at the time of planting! MOL  

If they bloom how the P.A. is expecting them all to bloom, it should look pretty epic!

 And, of course, mew our lovely readers will get to experience the bloomage in two or three weeks, depending on whether we get another cold snap that delays things. Apparently, there's some snow on the way, but we'll see as the weather peeps, even with all the technology they have, still get it wrong. We love that Mother Nature fluffs with them! MOL

And isn't it funny, this supposed snow that's going to sweep up from the south in the next five days or so is being hailed - pardon the pun - as a nightmare snowstorm which is going to dump up to a whopping five inches of the white stuff. Seriously, why does the media have to sensationalise the weather with such terrifying headlines? Why? 

A nightmare snowstorm in our humble opinion is one of magnitude and measured in feet, not inches. For instance, the day the P.A. was born all those gazillion years ago, it was eight to ten-foot snow drifts, aka serious snow, and it lasted for weeks. Today, an inch of snow is a whiteout and totally terrifying. 

Anyhoo, that's our opinion on the weather! MOL  

Well, we've only got two more days of February left, so make the most of the Valentinesy vibes, as that will be replaced, and we'll have a brand new look for March to welcome and hopefully hurry up Spring! 

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

First up in the news 

 Smooch And Sauce's Slither of a Sunspot

Smooch and Parsley Sauce found this tiny slither of a sunspot on Monday afternoon.

They were feeling epically blessed in this moment!!! MOL

Next up in the news

Melvyn Denying Monday's Existence

Melvyn didn't like the fact that the weekend seemed to be over in a blink.

He said, and I quote, "FLUFF MEW MONDAY!"

Oh dear, somepawdy has been pawtying hard all weekend! MOL

In other news...

 Fudge's Summer Shape Up

Fudge had to face reality yesterday and promptly decided that his Summer Shape-Up should start immediately.

And even though Pandora pointed out that it's probably just all floof, to help him feel a little better after he's spent the winter months bulking up for the great shred. 

Smooch added that perhaps he should have continued his training while in said bulking phase.

This did not go down very well.

And needless to say, he's hitting the gym in his BBHQ bunker with Parsley every day! 

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

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

Doesn't he look cute?
