Welcome to our weekly news round-up!

Internet Update

The internet and phone lines are still down at BBHQ, and the new estimated time of repair has jumped to the 13th of December, so we're still limping along on the highly intermittant and sporadic 4G.

As mew can imagine, this is getting really annoying, and to upload a 9 second video takes between five & ten minutes, that's if it doesn't time out.

So do bear with us, as we're finding the whole situation quite trying.

First up in the news

Smooch and Melvyn Snuggling on The Sofa

It's been rather damp, wet and dull at BBHQ recently so the woodburner has been lit, and this was Smooch and Melvyn the other day enjoying totally tropical temperatures in the sitting room.

Next up in the news

Pandora's Under The Gazebo

Pandora was secretly watching Parsley - see the next story - from the table under the gazebo, although Parlsey didn't realise she was there the whole time! MOL

Parsley's Planting Tulips


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Parsley's Planting Tulips

Earlier in the month Parlsey was in charge of planting the tulip bulbs in two metal planters, anyhoo it pretty much rained for the enitre month and he's only just got them planted them this week, so check out his video here on YouTube.

We think he did a really great job and can't wait to see them in the Spring.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

The Gingerbread Skelbobs bandana won by a majority on the last post, so here's Melvyn in all his modelling glory! MOL

He said the world needed to see more of him, plus he gets to use different mewsic in each video! MOL

The options from the top left in a clockwise direction:

2. Glow Bugs

Obviously we've only got one left, so next week he'll be strutting his stuff in the Evil Eye Protection bandana.

But the good news is, he went on another little shopping spree and has a brand new selection for mew to choose from next week, and they are Catmas themed.

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge Spies Something On The Roof, Parsley getting A Few November Warms and Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A

Midweek News Round Up with The B Team ©BionicBasil® Autumn Banner 22

Supurr Wednesday Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to our weekly news round-up!

It's just been one of those months when things keep fluffing up, first it was the arson attack (See Q&A below for an update), next it was the broadband connection, and then this morning (Monday) a new two-poster ramp was being fitted in the workshop, well almost, as the surveyor missed a crucial part in the report. The concrete slab needed to be 160mm and it's only 120mm. Seriously guys mew couldn't write it! 

Anyhoo, we're going to see if we can change the two-poster ramp to a four-poster ramp if the concrete depth is sufficient, although it should be as a four-poster has been bolted there for the last couple of decades. We're just waiting to hear back now. But we really wanted another two-poster, but so it goes.

And as for the broadband connection, upon checking the fault this morning, the date has moved to the 29th of November, so that's a bit better than the original estimate of December 9th. Although, there has been no work since last Tuesday at the point of the problem. So it looks like it will be mended when it's mended. It's really rather slack of BT as it's not just Mewton-Clawson that on the blink, Fuskerton next door is also on the fritz including the post office, so all in all it's an utter cluster fluff.

First up in the news

Fudge Spies Something On The Roof

It was quite warm on Caturday, and Fudge decided to go on a little roof inspection.

He spied a slipped tile with his exceptional whiskery senses!

So that means the roofing ladder will have to come out soon.

Next up in the news

Parsley getting A Few November Warms

As we just said, Caturday was a nice day and after the clouds fluffed off, we got some lovely sunshine.

So Parsley took full advantage of those rays atop the cake aka the mill wheel pile. The top one is black granite which absorbs all the heat, so he knows exactly where to get for the best thermal effect!

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

The Glow Bugs bandana won by a majority on the last post, so here's Melvyn in all his modelling glory! MOL

He's even started posting to YouTube; he's hoping some fancy cat meowdelling agency is going to sign him up! MOL

BBHQ Q&A ©BionicBasil® Autumn Banner 22

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.

We know many of mew are still wondering about the outcome of the recent arson attack at the P.A.'s work.

Here's the update, the police are still investigating and unfortunately the business is the patsy and its insurance will be paying for the damage for both the vehicles involved. The good news is that as the completely burnt-out 4X4 needed a new engine, its actual worth is considerably less than expected. And the second slightly damaged vehicle has now gone for repair and hopefully, the customer will have it back very soon. 

Memories of Eric and Flynn said on Amber's post

If you have anything like Airband in your area you should think about changing to them. They don't use phone lines but receivers instead

We used to have satellite broadband here, which we think is just like your Airband, we only moved to BT recently after the small company that was providing the service sold out and speeds dropped along with the customer service, but the prices were increased.


catladymac asked on Amber's post

Several years ago about this time Roby Sweet passed away. She had written the wonderful "Miss Cuddlywumps" series and had another one due out in November of that year...but that never came to be. We wondered if you knew anything about that, as we sure enjoyed the adventures of "Miss C" as well as the true story about her real housemates.

Amber has been planning on reviewing A Bump in The Road for quite some time; we borrowed a paperback copy from Erin The Cat Princess some time ago. Thanks for reminding us about it. Amber will schedule it into this season's reviews.



That's us done for today; do join us tomorrow for a quickie Thanksgiving post and if mew don't have time, Happy Thanksgiving and we hope your day is truly epic!

Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew, and if mew missed Monday's post, featuring our epic house panther Angel Humphrey, click here to catch up on all the gossip!

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Who's Turned Into A Complaining Karen, The Case of Missing Catnip Cushion and Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick **PLUS** EXTRA, EXTRA!

Midweek News Round Up with The B Team ©BionicBasil® Autumn Banner 22

Supurr Wednesday Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to our weekly news round-up!

What a week, it was Bonfire Night on Caturday; normally we post but this year for some reason we didn't. 

Anyhoo, guess what happened?

Some complete fluffing fluffer went and set fire to a customer's vehicle in the car park at the P.A.'s work. Yep, they clambered over a brambled-infested dyke, climbed over a six-foot fence with a barbed wire top, lost a sock in the process, then they proceeded to the vehicle and poured an accelerant down the driver's window and door and chucked a match at it.

Luckily one of the P.A.'s cousins was driving by, saw the flamage and rang the fire brigade. Dad had to hot-foot it to the garage at 9pm. 

There was another expensive 4X4 parked next to the flaming one, which has also sustained minor damage to the driverside door handles, door trim and wing mirror. We say minor at first glance it's approx 4K's worth of damage before it's assessed.

The police came and are investigating it, but they aren't hopeful about catching anypurrdy, as the purrpetrator crawled along the back of the vehicle in the dark out of view of the CCTV cameras. So this has turned out to be a very expensive week thanks to some completely selfish twerp who decided to burn out a lovely 4X4.

Luckily,  it was in the side compound with the other one because they were both recovered vehicles that were non-running, so the good news is that they weren't in the back compound near fifteen other 4X4s. So we are extremely thankful for that small mercy, and we are also thankful it had rained that day because the trees next to the vehicle could have caught on fire and then set the actual garage ablaze, so we are eternally grateful for that too.

We think that whoever set fire to the vehicle thought they'd get away with it because it was Bonfire night, ie; a rogue firework set it alight. And now we are stuck with the bill for one completely destroyed 4X4 and one partially damaged one. This will severely impact the insurance policy/future premiums just for some fluffing fluffer being a total twerp.

We just hope karma is keeping tabs.

First up in the news

Who's Turned Into A Complaining Karen

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Pandora's Turned Into A Karen

Just look at that face, mew know it's got a purroblem and a big one at that! MOL

We don't know what has got Pandora's boggle, but she did mention that she was writing to Parsley to express some pent-up pet peeves which were popping up all around her this week.

Fudge did try to mansplain to her about the eclipse on last night's full moon, and how the planetary alignments were not conducive to being harmonious or zen for that matter. 

In other words, the zen harmonies are being disrupted by a really fluffed-up cosmic event. The full moon with an eclipse in Taurus will be challenging for most earth dwellers. In fact, the P.A. has the most horrible migraine right now; she usually gets headaches around the full moon, but this one is next level.

Anyhoo, this is the advice Fudge gave Pandora: take a breath, count to however many numbers mew need to calm down and think before mew speak. Ride out the next few days avoiding confrontation, grumpy/bad-tempered beings and remember it'll all be ok.

Next up in the news

The Case of The Missing Catnip Cushion

EXHIBIT A

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® The Case of Missing Catnip Cushion

Furstly, Smooch is pleading the 5th, even though such a thing doesn't exist in the UK, nevertheless, he is taking that option! MOL

Isn't it hilarious how catnip can bring out the worst in cats?

What started off a fun afternoon sampling some new catnip cushions, ended up in said cushions mysteriously disappearing without a trace and very conveniently nopawdy knew anything about said disappearances. 

Now, the photographic evidence in Exhibit A above clearly depicts a heinous crime of deception and subterfuge happening right under our furry noses, yet Smooch still denies any involvement. 

Therefore, a request was broadcasted to all B Team memfurs to return said catnip cushions within 24 hours without any re-purrcushions, pardon the pun.

We'll let mew know on next week's news if they were returned.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

It was a close vote, but the Mystical Unicorn bandana won by one! MOL
