**HAPPY DECEMBER!!!** Smooch is Nesting - Again!!! on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop and Caturday Art Blog Hop

Supurr Sunday greetings furiends

HAPPY DECEMBER, and the Catmas Countdown has begun!

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and today Smooch is here sharing;

Smooch is Nesting - Again!!!

This was on Purrsday, and Smooch had been outside, which was really cold with lots of dampness, especially in the garden borders, which, of course, he had to trail through and get himself all damp too!

So upon his return indoors, he decided that he wanted to turn the cat cave into a nest on the sofa nearest the fire, so that's exactly what he did! MOL

Smooch's lovin' it!

Oh, and he says, in the New Year, he's back on the Stone Circle, ancient monuments and castles circuit, so we've got a few trips lined up. #soexcited!

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - AI Enhancer, Realist GFX + slight colour changes to hue and saturation.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 9 mins 27 secs. 

It's been rather chilly the last few days, so lunch will be ready after a quick pawtrol around the BBHQ perimeter.

Then this afternoon, it's movie time, and we're thinking something old school, like Die Hard with Bruce Willis or the original Predator, might get a viewing, or at the other end of the DVD rack, we may just watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off or Uncle Buck! MOL

We do hope mew have an epic day, and we'll see mew bright and breezing in the morning with a brand new Brain Training with Cats.

In the meantime...

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and today we bipped back to Wilshire in the Time Travelling Telephone Box to get this furbulous photo!

The B Team's Westbury White Horse Selfie

Obviously, we had to use a little wizardry and Photoshop ourselves bigger, as the size of the chalk horse is just astounding.* Mew would never have been able to see us!

We'll be back on the Stone Circle trail next week.

Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:

Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!

If mew're looking for a beautiful sight to see in Wiltshire, England, the Westbury White Horse is definitely worth checking out! It's a stunning chalk horse that was carved into the hillside of Westbury and is the oldest of its kind in the area dating back to the late 1600s. The horse measures an epic *180 feet long and 170 feet high, making it one of the largest hill figures in all of Britain. While nobody knows for certain where the horse came from, many believe that it was created to celebrate King George III's coronation in 1768. Originally outlined in yellow bricks, the horse was later replaced with white chalk in the early 1800s. Today, the Westbury White Horse continues to be a popular tourist attraction, and it's not hard to see why. Mew can spot it from miles around! A dedicated group of volunteers work hard to maintain the horse and keep it looking its best, and visitors are always welcome to hike up to it and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. If mew happen to be in the area, don't miss out on this amazing piece of history! It's sure to be an unforgettable experience.

Happy Trails

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go snooze, as the weather has been awful, and no sunspots have been sighted for days! 

Smooch is prepping for lunch and has told the P.A. that today she's got to make a new cheesecake, as he found a pawesome recipe in one of his cookery books by Mary Berry. We're just hoping the P.A. has all the ingredients. Otherwise, Smooch is going to throw a bit of a hissy fit! MOL

We hope you have an epic day and that mew will join us again in the morning for more epic brain training and the answer to last time's sudoku puzzle.

The B Team's King Arthur Selfie at Tintagel on The Sunday Selfies **PLUS** Smooch's UK Historical Travel Guide

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie extraordinaire. And today it was Melvyn's choice of where to visit as it's his birthday on Thursday, and we said dude, mew can go anywhere, but as he loves Camelot and Legends of King Arthur. He said, "I want to go back to Tintagel!"

So here's our epic selfie!

The B Team's King Arthur Selfie at Tintagel

Mew may notice that Smooch is sitting on Fudge's tail, he said, and I quote, "Dude, I didn't want to get a cold bum on the rocks!" 

I can't repeat Fudge's reply, as we're a furmily friendly blog! MOL

We all love the Arthurian legends of old, and we're delighted when Melvyn chose to go back to Cornwall and indulge in a bit of fandom for the Great King Arthur!

The Gallos statue is 2.4m or 7ft 10" tall, therefore we did have to use a little photoshop wizardry so mew could actually see us! MOL

Here's a little bit of info from BBHQ's Historical Travel Guide, Smooch:

Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!

Tintagel is a small village in Cornwall, England, and mew definitely want to add the Gallos King Arthur statue to your list of must-see attractions. This impressive bronze statue stands tall at the entrance of Tintagel Castle, which is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur. The statue, created by sculptor Rubin Eynon, depicts King Arthur holding his legendary sword, Excalibur, with one hand and a shield with his coat of arms in the other. The intricate details of the armour and the facial expression of the statue truly capture the strength and bravery of this legendary dude. As mew stand in front of the statue, mew can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for the mythical king who, according to legend, fought bravely for his people and defended his kingdom against all odds. It's no wonder that Tintagel has become a popular destination for those interested in Arthurian mythology. Whether mew're a die-hard fan of King Arthur or simply appreciate beautiful art, the Gallos King Arthur statue is definitely worth a visit. What an epically epic testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic dude and a reminder of the power of myth and legend to capture the imagination of generations.

This dude was truly EPICALLY EPIC, and The B Team does bow to his greatness!

Happy Trails

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with the ios Prisma App, and we used the effect:- Spring plus changes to shadows, then we added a vignette filter to darken the edges while keeping the brightness in the centre of the picture.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 7 mins 57 secs. 

Just before we go, we want to answer The J-Cats question from last week's selfie, which was:

A propos stone circles, we were wondering what you think about those Nuts-Case Humans who sprayed Stonehenge with paint.

We find this blatant and wanton disregard for this Ancient Monument beyond reprehensible.

What the fluff did Stonehenge ever do to anypawdy? Purrhaps it was a case of let's try to ruin the Summer Solstice just because we can???

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and start getting the Nip Nirvana Lounge ready for Melvyn's epic rave, and then we're going to spend the afternoon in the garden.

We do hope mew have an epic day and join us again on the morrow, when it may be Brain Training or it could be ManCat Monday! MOL

The B Team's Happy Father's Day Selfie on The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hop

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and today as it's Father's Day, we thought we'd do something epic, hence all the military vehicles! Well, we like them! MOL

The B Team's Happy Father's Day Selfie 

Smooch bought two, as he really, really liked them. Parsley doesn't like them because Smooch left him to pay for them - oh dear - but we're sure Parsley will come around when he gets to drive one.

Anyhoo, here's wishing all the epically epic cat dads and non-cat dads a totally terrific day!

We're also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

The effect was created with Befunky - AI Enhancer, Cartoonizer 4 + colour changes to hue and saturation.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 9 mins 23 secs. 

Anyhoo it's time for us to go and make sure our furbulous cat dad is having a pawesome day, and then Smooch is snoopervising lunch, and this afternoon as the weather has been really fluffed, we're going to all get snuggled and watch a movie.

And don't panic... we've got another stone circle for mew next Sunday, and something rather, rather special. So don't miss that.

We do hope mew have an epic day, and join me again tomorrow when I'll be here with another Brain Training post and the answer to the last sudoku puzzle.
