Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, the weather at BBHQ has been a mix of rain, rain and more rain in varying degrees; it's been up to 14 degrees Celsius and down to 4 degrees Celsius. The bad news is that it's leaking in the crystal room; a couple of tiles have shifted and are now causing the issue. The P.A.'s cousin is a builder. He came out in January and said he'd be back when the weather was warmer, but, as with all family, he never followed through, and as it was supurr dry all year, we never really thought about it until now!!! MOL

Anyhoo, so it goes!

The P.A. still is feeling unwell; this flu is a really doozy. The P.A. rarely gets anything, so this has knocked her sideways.

We apologise for the Catmas card debacle. We ordered our cards last month as always, to get ahead of the curve. The P.A. went away for a week and forgot all about it. The cards didn't turn up, but then a week or two later, some other cards did, not ours, but for a company in Germany, and by the time this all happened, it was too late to post, so we feel really hissed off about that. So we'll have to send e-cards this year... sorry about that.

First up in the news

Fudge and Smooch Are Sad


In a garden setting, Ginger Fudge—a vibrant orange cat wearing a green collar—stands confidently on a moss-covered rock, gazing upward. Nearby, a white cat with black markings, affectionately known as the tripawed smooch, sits on a tiled surface looking toward Ginger Fudge. The scene is surrounded by dried plants, green foliage, capturing a moment of quiet connection between the two cats in their natural outdoor environment. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Smooch and fudge were sad when they went into the garden the other day and saw the catmint... yep, it's looking even more sad than the P.A. feels right now.

Pandora's Purrching


Pandora, a fluffy torti cat, sits majestically atop a moss-covered stone in a lush garden. Surrounding her are vibrant green plants and foliage, creating a serene natural setting. In the background, a striking red vintage mechanical device with wheels and a handle adds a bold contrast to the greenery. The scene is outdoors, near a wooden structure, and captures Pandora as a regal focal point amid rustic charm. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Pandora was purrching on one of the ancient rocks in the garden. We've never seen her do this before, but then she suddenly started doing a lot of things she's never done before! MOL

Melvyn, Parsley, Pandora and Fudge Deciding What To Watch 


Four cats gather in a cozy living room. Two are perched on a plaid-covered sofa, while two sits on the floor in front. The room is warmly lit, with a cat tree in the background, decorative pillows, and a textured rug. The cats appear to be interacting or observing something together, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

This was the scene in the sitting room the other night: a strong debate was underway about whether National Geographic on the Serengeti or the David Attenborough Ocean Odyssey was being watched. MOL

Amber said, "I'm too fluffing old for this!" And promptly went upstairs to watch the library shopping channel with Smooch!

Finally this week

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Here's this week's weather report: cloudy, rainy, cloudy, with a bit of a breeze, cloudy, drizzle, cloudy. The temperatures are hovering around the mid-teens, but the bad news is that the evening temperatures are dropping below ten this week ... brrrrrr!

And the news wouldn't be the news without the obligatory flower photos.

This luscious lilac dahlia is in the courtyard gardens, and to be honest, we nearly missed it. All the dahlias this year were very late to bloom.

Close-up of a vibrant purple dahlia flower in full bloom, with layered petals and a smaller bud beside it, set against a garden backdrop featuring a brick building and hanging basket. Healthy green leaves and dark stems frame the flower, creating a striking contrast with the textured wall. This image from BBHQ’s Supurr Spooky Crafting with Cats Halloween series is ideal for SEO keywords such as “purple dahlia flower,” “garden photography,” “autumn blooms,” “flower close-up,” and “seasonal garden inspiration” from www.bionicbasil.com

And here's the new rambling rose on the rose arch. It's called Super Fairy and has clusters of small pink flowers.

Close-up of a blooming pink rose with layered petals and a visible central stamen, surrounded by serrated green leaves. Set against a blurred garden background with a black vertical pole, this vibrant flower stands out for its delicate structure and rich colour. Captured as part of BBHQ’s Supurr Spooky Crafting with Cats Halloween series, this image is ideal for SEO keywords such as “pink rose close-up,” “garden flower photography,” “blooming rose,” “petal detail,” and “seasonal floral inspiration” from www.bionicbasil.com

It'll take a year or two to cover the arch; we like rambling roses better than climbers as they're a lot more speedy in terms of growth.

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

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge has Got His Pumpkin, Pandora's Not Loving The Weather, and Smooch on Pawtrol ~ **PLUS** Today's Really Random Photo

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Let's start with the weather report. Purrsday and Friday were overcast; nothing much to report at all. Caturday was nice and sunny, but it was a bit misty on Sunday, though the temperature was still nice. Monday was a drizzle-fest of disappointment. Tuesday, we haven't got there yet... MOL The Tuesday update, overcast, but ok temperature-wise, so there could be some bulb planting today.

As we're heading straight into Halloween territory, we're rerunning all the spooky Crafting with Cats projects, sadly, there's no new project for this year; in fact we've been severely failing on new stuff there, but there is a reason and that is there is no space to make anything as there's a bit reorganisation happening in the craft room, and it's taking it's time! MOL

Oh, and here's another moon picture from early on Sunday Morning, about 3:27 am.

Nighttime view of the BBHQ garden under moonlight, featuring a stone pathway framed by plants, trees, and a metal archway. A glowing light fixture adds warmth to the scene, while the moon shines brightly above with a faint halo, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere. Perfect for garden photography, tranquil outdoor settings, and seasonal storytelling from www.bionicbasil.com’s BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up

And we have a 'lime' update...

Close-up of a small green citrus fruit growing on a branch indoors at BBHQ, surrounded by vibrant leaves and set against a brick wall and window. The fruit, possibly a lime or unripe lemon, is part of a personal cultivation setup featuring a wooden surface and decorative crystal. Perfect for indoor gardening inspiration, citrus plant care, and quirky garden updates from www.bionicbasil.com’s BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up

It's still growing, very slowly, but it's definitely bigger than it was in our last update.

We're not sure how long they take to grow, but we'll keep it where it is for now. Also, the other little fruits are gaining size. Unfortunately, the P.A. accidentally knocked one off when she was cleaning up some of the fallen leaves. Yes, we did reprimand her for such a heinous assault against an innocent citrus tree! MOL

There will be a trial by citrus sometime soon to address this! 

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

As we're rerunning all our epic Halloween Crafts, Fudge wanted to show mew what he was playing with yesterday! MOL

Yep, it's a furry, orange, feathery-topped pumpkin on a wand, and of course, we'll be sharing this fun project again in the next couple of weeks.
