 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We hope mew are having a lovely week.

Let's begin with the weather report. 

Well, compared to last week, it has improved somewhat. However, Good Friday and the Easter weekend were rather overcast, and Caturday evening was like a whirlwind. But then on Monday the sun came out, and again on Tuesday, with it being even warmer.

The P.A. has had to fill the birdbaths up and water some of the pots as everything has dried out. It seems quite mad after all the rain over the winter, but then so it goes! MOL

Last week, on Wednesday, was the full moon, and the photo we shared was from Monday evening. Here's the actual full moon:

A nighttime sky with a bright full moon partially hidden behind thick, swirling clouds. The moonlight creates a glowing halo with subtle rainbow hues around the cloud edges. In the foreground, a silhouetted pergola or garden structure is outlined by small string lights. Bare tree branches stretch in from the right side, adding contrast against the illuminated clouds. The scene has a calm, atmospheric feel. The bottom of the image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

It had a really pretty halo around it, and the clouds were quite atmospheric, so all in all, not a bad moon pic! MOL

Now let's look at the news.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

Pandora Showing Off The Tulips


Pandora, a fluffy dark‑coloured cat sits on a light wooden deck beside two small solar garden lights. Behind the cat is a garden bed with green plants and tall dried stems. To the right, a terracotta pot overflows with blooming pink and purple tulips. A dark wooden fence frames the background. The scene feels peaceful and homely. The bottom of the image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com.”

Pandora loves the pink and magenta tulips!

And honestly, who can blame her?

These tulips below have been blooming for a week or so, but the centre flowers were being a little resistant to opening; they were closed on Caturday, but on Monday they burst forth!

A collage of four side‑by‑side photos showing a rectangular black planter filled with blooming tulips in shades of purple, pink, and a few red‑orange accents. The planter sits on a sunlit patio surrounded by wooden structures and garden greenery. Bright daylight highlights the vivid colours of the flowers. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom centre.

Hopefully, more will be out in front of the catservatory over the next few days, as they seem to be a little slow to emerge.

The red ones we shared last week have been blooming for days; if the others are out for next week, we'll definitely share!

Fudge and Smooch Nose To Nose


An orange cat with a fluffy tail stands on a sunlit wooden deck, leaning forward to touch noses with a white cat marked with black patches. The second cat sits inside a large planter filled with tall, grassy plants. Bright sunlight casts clear shadows across the deck, and stone pavers form the background. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Fudge and Smooch were nose to nose on the back deck.

Don't ask what they were discussing, because we have no idea! MOL

Melvyn's Flat Out on The Huge Cushion


Melvyn, a brown black‑and‑white tabby cat lies stretched out on a large, colourful patchwork cushion made of floral and patterned fabric squares. To the right stands a tall pink cat tree with multiple levels, sisal‑wrapped scratching posts, pom‑pom trim, and several plush toys. A woven basket filled with more toys sits beside it. On the left, a pink paw‑print stool and a fluffy pink chair add to the cosy indoor cat space. Light wooden flooring and a beige rug complete the warm, playful setting. The image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com.”

While everypawdy was outside, Melvyn decided to get comfy on one of Fudge's favourite snooze spots!

Don't tell Fudge! MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Ballooning with Furiends won the vote last week.

He spent ten minutes rolling all over the place before the P.A. managed to get this photo! MOL

Melvyn a white, black‑and‑brown tabby cat lounges on a dark textured outdoor mat near a brick wall and white door. The cat wears a colourful bandana decorated with cartoon designs, including a pink rhino, clouds, stars, and playful patterns. Reflections of greenery appear in a nearby window, and outdoor furniture and plants create a cosy patio setting. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

So much cuteness is happening right now! MOL 

A curved string of pastel pennant flags hangs in gentle arcs, with triangles in soft blue, pink, yellow, and green. At each peak of the curve sits a white flower with a yellow center, giving the decoration a cheerful, festive look suitable for celebrations or spring‑themed designs.

Which one should he model next?


Here's the April Bandana collection.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month. 

Five colourful triangular bandanas are arranged on a light wooden surface, each with a different vibrant pattern. Designs include hot‑air balloons and animals, stylised floral motifs, large pink flowers on teal, playful pink cats on black, and a yellow‑and‑pink floral print. Text reads “The April Bandana Collection at BBHQ.

The April Collection:

1.  Ballooning with Furiends 

2. Spring Freshness

3. Peony Purrfection 

4. Cute Pink Cats

5. Blooming Marvellous

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy April Fools Day ~ Did mew prank anypawdy today? 

We didn't because that kind of behaviour happens all the time at BBHQ, so we thought we'd take the day off! MOL

Oh good gravy, the weather, let's talk about that for a moment, it's been windy, blustery, gusty and cold. Mew know the really funny thing, that after it's been a supurr blustery day right up until bedtime and later, blowing wildly and being totally obnoxious, guess what?

In the middle of the night, it's calmer than a mill pond, every night, not a puff of a breeze or whisper of air, just completely still. How's that work? It's not a recent thing either.

Anyhoo, it's a full moon tonight, so here's Monday night's offering, not great, but better than nothing.

A nighttime garden scene featuring a small white shed outlined with warm string lights, framed by bare branches and a metal archway. A bright almost full moon glows in the deep blue sky above, casting soft light across the quiet BBHQ garden.

We'll take some proper pics tonight, for next week.

Good news, the hedgehogs are visiting, three so far, so we'll keep mew posted on that.

The tulips are bursting forth in a riot of colour, which pleases us tremendously as we are so over the winter.

A black circular planter filled with bright red tulips and lush green foliage sits on a gravel surface outside a building. The tulips are in full bloom, their vivid red petals contrasting with the greenery and the reflective window behind them

Look at that red, isn't it glorious? Here's hoping that more will burst forth for next week.

Anyhoo, let's look at what's been happening at BBHQ.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

Smooch Says Mew Missed A Bit

White cat with black markings stands on a wooden deck, mid‑meow, looking up as if calling for attention. A white bench and a metal planter with greenery sit behind him, creating a cosy outdoor BBHQ scene.

Smooch was on the rear deck by the pond, complaining that somepawdy had missed a spot of green algae under the bench. Yep, he threatened that whoever it was needed to get back out there and finish the job properly.

We can't share the P.A.s response, as we're nice cats, and what she said fell well outside those parameters! MOL

Fudge's Favourite Grass Spot


Fudge, a fluffy ginger cat, walks through long green grass in the BBHQ garden, partially hidden by plants. A large weathered terracotta pot and dense evergreen branches create a rustic, leafy backdrop, with a small black garden light nearby.

On a little pawtrol Fudge went to his favourite clump of grass and had his fill. Then he furry kindly left a furball on the doormat by the patio doors.

He is so thoughtful, don't mew think?

Parsley's Outdoor Snuggle Spot


Parsley, a sleek black cat wearing a green collar, lounges in a patch of sunlight on a wooden threshold. He’s stretched out on an orange‑and‑red patterned mat, with soft indoor carpet behind him, enjoying his favourite cosy outdoor snuggle spot.

We did get a bit of sunshine yesterday, so while the P.A. was in the craft room, Parsley enjoyed a supurr snuggle spot in the doorway.

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


And now, fashion fans, it’s time for Melvyn’s moment…

He got a head start with the Cute Pink Cats bandana.

Melvyn, a white, black and brown tabby cat, stands on a dark kitchen countertop wearing a colourful bandana decorated with pink cats, flowers, and leaves on a black background. Soft daylight from a nearby window brightens the kitchen, with pale cabinets and small appliances in the background.

Apologies, the photo is a little blurry, Melvyn was supurr effervescent yesterday and couldn't keep still! MOL

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **THE HEDGLINGS ARE HERE!!!** ~ Sauce is In The Shade, Pandora's Sunny Spot, and Fudge's Not Happy ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday!

Well, what a week, it just goes from bonkers to even more crazy. The washing machine died and went to washing machine heaven on Sunday. Good news, we've got a replacement coming on Thursday, same model, so that was unlucky and lucky! What with the dishwasher, the tumble dryer, and the radiators, things have been really fluffed as of late.

The weather has been a mix of sun, clouds, intermittent sun with clouds and full cloud coverage with wind. The wind was getting up yesterday, and it was a bit too cool for our liking, so we stayed inside, out of the frigid air. Then, last night, it rained with bluster... we hope that fluffs off soon.

But some good news, the hedgehogs are back.

Here's the first picture of one of this year's baby hedglings. The P.A. put some special hedgehog crunchies on the stepping stone

A small hedgehog eats from a pile of dry food on a stone pathway in a softly lit nighttime garden. Raised beds and planters filled with plants line the path, creating a cosy, welcoming scene. This image appears in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up announcing that the hedgehogs—“the Hedglings”—have arrived at BionicBasil®.

We've seen three so far, paws crossed, there's some more in the next few weeks.

And here's this week's Spring flowers.

A black rectangular planter filled with blooming purple tulips sits outdoors on a tiled surface beside a wooden post. A small solar garden light nestles among the flowers, with a neatly trimmed green hedge in the background. Featured in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®, celebrating the new tulips now in bloom.

These are some of the new bulbs we mentioned last week. They are just about to pop.

We can't wait to see the others when they emerge.

This Month's Embroidery - Cute Kitty

A colourful mixed‑media embroidery artwork of a smiling cat wearing pink beaded glasses and a yellow sequin‑decorated top. The cat is crowned with an elaborate floral headdress made from bright embroidered flowers and sequins, set against a green fabric background with scattered decorative embellishments. The piece is framed in a wooden shadow box with a purple inner border and featured in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®.

We found a furbulous arty blog hop and mew know how much the P.A. loves all that stuff, so here's her little project. She hopes this is acceptable as the rules are quite strict. If not she tried! MOL (She'll have to get back in the craft room, and try again with her secret journal next time!)

And now let's look at this week's news.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

 Sauce is In The Shade


A black cat sits on a gravel path in a sunny garden, positioned in the cool shade beside a raised wooden planter filled with lush greenery. A brick wall with climbing plants forms the backdrop. This photo features Parsley, also known as Mr Sauce, in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®.

Parsley, also known as Mr Sauce at BBHQ, was sitting in the courtyard's shade the other day. A few paces back, he could have been in the sunshine.

A small black garden ornament rests beside her, with a red wheelbarrow and white summerhouse in the background. Featured in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®, celebrating Pandora enjoying her sunny spot.

Pandora found a sunny spot the other day.

And the daffodils are looking furbulous.

 Fudge's Not Happy

Green foliage and spring flowers surround him. Featured in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®, highlighting Fudge’s “not happy” moment.

Fudge was a little hissed off as the P.A. wouldn't let him on the roof; she blocked him just as he was about to launch off the dustbin.

She later found him sulking in the garden! #OHDEAR

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Guys, we're going to make mew laugh now, the P.A. got this month's bandanas in a right twist and muddle, it wasn't Pretty Garden for this week, it was Colourful Owls! MOL OH MY Cod, she seriously needs a day off!

Melvyn looks adorable, and look, he's waving to his fans in the garden - well, the flowers in the pots! MOL

Melvyn, a white tabby with black and brown markings models a colourful owl‑patterned bandana in a two‑photo collage. In one image he sits calmly facing the camera; in the other he reaches a paw toward a window, appearing curious or waving at this fans! LOL A woven rug and wicker basket create a cosy indoor setting. Featured in the BBHQ Midweek News Round‑Up at BionicBasil®

We'll sort out some new bandanas for next week and see if the P.A. can get it right next time! MOL #pawscrossed
