The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **DISCERNING DAHLIAS** ~ Smooch's Enjoying Snuggle Time, Parsley's Snuggle Time in The Sitting Room, and Fudge's On The Snuggle Mat ~ **PLUS** Who went on a picnic?

Seven cats sit together in a colourful garden filled with flowers, butterflies, and festive bunting. Behind them are scattered newspapers and a large banner that reads “Midweek News Round Up with the B Team.” One cat on the left has its mouth open as if shouting, next to a speech bubble that says “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The scene is bright, playful, and lively, with each cat displaying different fur colours and patterns. The overall design feels cheerful and whimsical, like a fun feline news announcement.
This week at BBHQ: snuggles everywhere, dahlias dazzling, and a picnic that turned into a punt‑side rescue

Supurr Floofy Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

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

The Weekly Weather Report

It got hot again, not supurr scorchio, but sweaty, humid, sticky fur hot. So we all stayed indoors near the fans and air conditioning.

Mew know it's no fun having a fur coat when it's an inferno outside. Oh, but we did remember this from ages ago:


So guess what we had again!!! MOL

Anyhoo, we're still in the midst of a warm spell with: 27 C Monday, 29 C yesterday, and today it's supposed to cool to 23C, but then climb again early next week.

Yep, it's been a really odd summer so far.

This Week's Flower Offering

A vibrant dahlia blooms in rich shades of deep red blending into bright orange at the petal tips. Its dark maroon centre is ringed with tiny yellow pollen structures, framed by matte dark‑green leaves and a small unopened bud. The close‑up captures the striking colour gradient and intricate detail of this discerning BBHQ dahlia.

Remember we mentioned that the P.A.'s car was pulled by some unseen gravitational force into the garden centre on Sunday? (No, it wasn't really - she just can't help herself!!! MOL)

Anyhoo, this is one of the incredible dahlias she bought. She wasn't planning on buying any more this year as the garden was pretty full last year, but the heat hasn't boded well for them, so here we are again. As dahlias are very thirsty and obviously there hasn't been any rain...

She bought some other fun plants too, which we'll show mew next time.

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines ~ there's a lot of snuggling happening today! MOL

Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

Behind him are three cosy pillows—a fluffy cream one, a black‑and‑white geometric one, and a soft brown one, creating a warm, comfortable sitting‑room scene as Parsley enjoys his snuggle time during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up.

Meanwhile downstairs in the sitting room, Parsley was snuggling here!

Today's Really Random Feature


Oh, we did laugh and laugh and laugh at this!

Two cats sit in a glitter‑covered camouflage off‑road vehicle, ready to head out for a picnic. The orange‑and‑white cat in the passenger’s seat wears round sunglasses and rests a paw on the door, while the torti cat beside her sports heart‑shaped sunglasses as she sits in the drivers seat. A flower‑trimmed wicker basket and decorative parasol sit in the back of the rugged vehicle. They face a stone gate marked “Paws Only,” surrounded by greenery and blooms, creating a playful, adventurous scene as Amber and Pandora set off for their picnic.

Yes, Pandora does own a custom, sparkly camo jeep. Yes, there is a garden parasol open in the back, a wicker hampurr or three from Purrtnam & Meowson's, and everything else needed for a truly decadent picnic! MOL

She promised to take Amber on a pre-jolly picnic, aka P.J.P., before Amber departed on her annual vacation.

So off they went down to a lovely spot by the river next to the huge willow trees, where the swans live. There's a small wooden dock with a rowing boat and a punt moored all summer, if the mood strikes for messing about on the river! MOL

  It's only about a quarter of a mile off-road over an undulating meadow filled with wildflowers and surrounded by majestic oaks.

Let me tell mew what was in the hampurr:

Chilled Dom Purrignom finest catnip champagne (More than one bottle, I must add)

Tiny china teacups filled with cream

A selection of supurr tasty finger sandwiches

A selection of catnip liqueur-glazed fruits 

A plate of smoked salmon & tuna canapés alongside the sandwiches

In one of the hampurrs was a selection of puddings, including 

Epic chocolate brownies with catnip sprinkles & Catnip-infused cherry slices

From the Nip and Nom Tea Shoppe, no less! MOL

Plus specials made by the owner, Muriel Meeps  

Honey‑Glazed Cream Puffs with Catmint Crème

Nip‑Soaked Strawberry & Cream Mille‑Paw‑Feuille

Velvet Mousse Chocolat à la Mewton‑Clawson

Two cats wearing sunglasses lounge on plush velvet cushions around an ornate outdoor picnic table set beside a calm lake where swans glide in the background. The table is piled high with elegant treats, crystal glasses, flowers, and a large bottle of champagne. A lace‑patterned parasol shades the luxurious spread, while a flower‑decked off‑road vehicle and picnic baskets sit behind them, creating a whimsical, high‑end pre‑jolly‑picnic scene with Pandora and Amber.

As mew can see, they were in their element!

This is the only way to picnic in Mewton-Clawson

However, much later on, Parsley and Fudge did have to go and collect them as they got stranded on the punt and couldn't get back to the wooden dock, one too many glasses of champers.

Fudge said later he could hear them cackling with laughter from the middle of the river.

Although Amber denied it vehemently!

Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

That's us done for today. Melvyn will be here on Friday, so do join us then, as he's headed into the library archive on Level Six, and this week there's talk of uprisings, and we're not sure how he's going to cope, so don't miss that! MOL

We hope mew have a furbulous day, and remember to always...

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **FURBULOUS FUSCHIAS** ~ Fudge's Flat Out ... Again, Smooch's Hanging Out in The Shade, and Geranium Sauce ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling This Week's Bandana

Supurr Floofy Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

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

The Weekly Weather Report

Good news, it's stayed just under the mid-twenties for the last few days, and over Caturday night and Sunday morning we did get a few brief showers, which was nice to put a little moisture back into the ground, as a lot of the potted trees are really suffering due to this long dry spell.

Yesterday, the heat started climbing again and was hovering around 29 Celsius, peaking at 30 in the mid to late afternoon. And it will be the same today, but then it will go back to the mid-twenties again for the next few days. So very manageable, unlike recent weeks.

This week's flower offering is a furbulous fuschia, one of two; this is the pink and white one, and the one opposite - not shown - is pink and purple. 

A black woven planter sits on a tiled patio beside a wooden post, overflowing with a vibrant fuchsia plant. Bright pink and magenta bell‑shaped flowers hang among glossy green leaves, standing out against the dark container. A dense green hedge forms the backdrop, highlighting the lush, furbulous colour in the BBHQ garden.

They are such gorgeous flowers and pretty easy to keep in this weather.

But wait, there's more; check out Parsley below. He's 'modelling' the geraniums!!! MOL


Grampaw Update

Thank mew all so much for the prayers and good wishes for Grampaw. On Monday, he went into the nursing home for a 2-week stay... the P.A. and her family have got a rota system going so Grampaw gets visitors all the time. We'll let mew know more soon...

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

A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red. Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

First up in the news this week

Fudge's Flat Out ... Again


Fudge, a fluffy orange tabby cat with a supurr floofy tail sleeps deeply on a soft cream blanket draped over a beige outdoor sofa, his fluffy tail curled close and paws relaxed. A warm reddish‑brown cushion sits behind him, completing the snug, peaceful scene as Fudge enjoys yet another flat‑out nap during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up

This week, as it's been cooler, Fudge enjoyed some supurr-quality catnapping time under the gazebo on a freshly washed blanky.

OH MY COD, he's so spoilt!!! MOL

But he has slowed down a bit in recent times... and enjoys his naps.

Smooch's Hanging Out in The Shade 


A tripawed white cat with black markings sits on a gravel driveway beneath leafy garden trees, wearing a red collar. Soft shade from the surrounding bushes and a birch trunk creates a cool, peaceful spot where Smooch relaxes outdoors during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up.

Smooch was hanging out on the gravel in the shade of all the trees.

And we will say this: thank COD the P.A. planted them, as when she first moved in a bazillion years ago, there weren't any.

Some she grew many from seed, and others were tiny saplings; now we have a little bit of a woodland vibe happening, which is so nice in the heat to have a leafy canopy.

 Geranium Sauce


A sleek black cat walks along a garden path made of pale stepping stones set in gravel, surrounded by bright red and pink geraniums overflowing from pots and planters. Lush green foliage frames the colourful scene as Parsley—Mr Sauce—strolls confidently through the vibrant garden during the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up.

Parsley aka Mr Sauce, aka Sauce, now Geranium Sauce! MOL

Yes, we love our red and pink geraniums at BBHQ, and they are one flower that doesn't seem to have minded the weeks of heat; they are blooming marvellous!

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


This week, Melvyn is modelling the last bandana of July. 

Mew voted for Cactus Crazee, but he thought, what the fluff, let's do both, as this is his last modelling assignment for the summer, as Amber has another job for him. (See Mews Flash below).

He really enjoyed modelling the Cactus Crazee bandana.

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat with expressive green eyes, lies on a patterned rug indoors wearing the Cactus Crazee Bandana—a vibrant accessory featuring colourful cactus illustrations. His relaxed pose and the cheerful design add a playful, stylish touch. The wooden floor background and www.bionicbasil.com branding complete this charming feline fashion moment

And here's The Pink Flutterby's bandana!

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat with soft green eyes, models The Pink Flutterby's bandana while reclining adorably on a woven rug indoors. The bandana features whimsical pink and green butterfly prints, adding a splash of springtime charm to his relaxed pose. A wooden floor and metallic bowl sit in the background, with www.bionicbasil.com subtly branding this feline fashion spotlight

Doesn't he look epic?

He'll be back in the Autumn with some more epic bandana selections just for mew!

MEWS FLASH


As it's Amber's last book review of the current season on Friday, and she's due to go on her annual jollies next week, Melvyn is being left in charge of the Library Archive on Level 6 again, and as he did such a meowvellous job in 2025, Amber is also letting him run the main Mewton-Clawson Library in the BBHQ courtyard, too...

So would mew like a second season of Melvyn's Mewsings every Friday until Amber returns?

He said he'd really like to share his journey with mew, as he's come such a long way since last year! MOL

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday for the last review of the season.
