The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Pandora's Looking Really Fluffy, Melvyn The Blur, and Who's Hogging All The Pom Poms? ~ **PLUS** Today's Really Random Photo

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

The BBHQ weather has been moderately clement during the day, but much cooler in the evenings. I have to say, we're not loving it ... where's the sunshine and the warmth?

Well, floofy readers, we know mew've been waiting all week for this, so here's last week's Zombie Hunt Stats!

It was the same as last year, who would have thought!!! MOL

WHO TAGGED AND BAGGED THE MOST UNDEAD?

Mew may remember on our Halloween News post that we mentioned this event, so if mew missed that, click here to catch up or have a quick refresh!

Another close run this year, as mew can see, but I did just pip the rest of The B Team to come out victorious.

There was a moment I nearly fluffed up; I missed one as I did the spray and prey tactic with my Uzi, but luckily, Pandora took the shot before it bit me.

There were more undead than last year; we're not sure why, but we did exercise extreme prejudice against their unholy rampage through Mewton-Clawson.

Dirk the Dangerous did well again, coming in the #3 spot. As did newcomer Basher Bigfoot, taking the #8 spot, and this year, our elderly neighbour from Mewton-Clawson Manor, Colonel Fluffton the Fifth, came out of retirement again with his trusty blunderbuss. He also brought an AA12 this year as he joined in the fun and landed the #5 spot, well he was an army sniper back in the day!

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

First up in the news

Pandora's Looking Really Fluffy

Pandora was snoopervising the P.A. on Monday while the spring bulbs were planted in all of the terracotta pots.

Next up in the news

 Melvyn The Blur

It was a total riot in the kitchen the other evening ... Melvyn had fetched a bouncy ball out of the toy basket in the sitting room and proceeded to bat it everywhere at high speed! 

Pandora only just managed to get out of the way as it hurtled into the hall! MOL

Parsely sat quietly watching, but still ready to scarper.

Finally this week

Who's Hogging All The Pom Poms?

Fudge helped himself to all of the pom poms and then proceeded to take full ownership.

Yep, sometimes he just doesn't want to share - #ohdear! MOL

Today's Really Random Photo

Yours Truly Wing Commander Basil from 2015

 I do remember that day quite vividly, as it was the day Cat Dad returned from a trip to Australia.

Time literally does fly! MOL

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew, and if mew missed any other posts, here are the links:

**HALLOWEEN EDITION** The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Parsley's Got Gordon The Ghost, Smooch is Spying, and Melvyn's Modelling ~ **PLUS** Today's Really Random Photo

Epically Spooky Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

What a totally boring week weather-wise:- it's been dreary, overcast and dull with intermittent showers, and some heavier than others. The clocks went back an hour on Sunday morning, and we're not loving it being dark at 5.30pm, it really puts a dampener on pawtrols.

And if mew didn't see me on Monday's Bumper Brain Training post, it's the Mewton-Clawson Annual Zombie Hunt tonight. I was all geared up and ready to go, and then, I saw that my 2025 Zombie Hunter Permit was about to expire, again! 

FLUFF ME!!

I can't believe I forgot, especially after last year! MOL

Luckily, I know a lovely lady cat who works in the local Town Hall. Her name is Daphne, and I saved her three years ago from a weird wolf attack on Hexpaw Hill, so I made a call, and she got my permit approved instantly. EPIC!

Take a look at the local poster advertising the event. It features Dirk the Dangerous; he's from Upper Fluffton, a small hamlet about a mile to the north of Mewton-Clawson. 

In 2023, Upper Fluffton was overrun with zombies, and thank cod Dirk, who'd only just moved there after a rather colourful career in a special ops force, was on paw to save the residents.

It was only fitting after he'd saved everypawdy that he is the poster cat of choice for this annual event, and fluff me, he looks as mean as hell, doesn't he?

So wish us luck tonight, and we'll let mew know how many we tagged and bagged next week.

BBHQ ANNOUNCEMENT

Look at this...

PAWS OF DESTINY ~ BOOK 8

A Basil and the B Team adventure like no other

A Basil and the B Team adventure like no other

The Nexus Spiral has fractured. The Nullshade has awoke. And destiny never rests.

Basil thought the war was over. Melvyn was safe. The Red Evil defeated. The necromancers are gone, and the Purrminators destroyed. The second M Unit, safely hidden away in the Pocket Universe with a bag of secrets and the essence of two fallen heroes, as they wait for the right moment to return.

As BBHQ braces for a new storm, the B Team must use all their unreasonable resourcefulness to survive, decode a divine prophecy, and face a threat older than time itself. The second Time Travelling Telephone Box spirals back into reality, just as the next deadly battle begins.

Some paws are forged in fire. Others are written in the stars.

OH MY COD, TALK ABOUT A TEASER!!!!!

Yep, book eight is coming soon - just in case mew didn't know! MOL

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

First up in the news

 Parsley's Got Gordon The Ghost

Gordon the Ghost keeps appearing in the most unlikely of places around BBHQ, and so do the catnip pumpkins. The P.A. puts the toys back in the open toy basket just before bed every night, and every morning, there's one or more pumpkins strewn in the kitchen, and Gordon is in the most random of places.

Parsley decided that Gordon needs snoopervising, and so he's keeping a very close eye on the little ghost.

Next up in the news

Smooch is Spying

Smooch didn't think anypawdy could see him as he sat in the office chair and peeked over the back - yep, he's sneaky! MOL

Talk about covert ops! 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling His Favourite Halloween Bandana (Again!)

Melvyn wanted to share his spooky catwalk run with mew again.

He did start off today's video with a little bit of tummy grooming, as he said, and I quote, "My tummy fur was sticking out all over the place!" 

Check out Melvyn's videos on your preferred social media channel:

Fudge decided, as it's Halloween, he'd share a spooky midweek selfie. He used the Vampire GFX effect from BeFunky.

Look at the little cutie, he's such a ginger pudding - but don't tell him I said that! MOL

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book, and if mew missed any other posts, here are the links:

**HALLOWEEN EPICNESS** Bumper Brain Training with Cats #95 with your Epic host ~ Professor Basil P.H.D.

Splendiferous Greetings, My Pawesome Furiends!

Welcome to another furbulous Monday at BBHQ, where things are epically spook'a'licious and pawsitively puzzling! 

Here I am, all geared up for the Annual Mewton-Clawson Zombie Hunt (A.M.C.Z.H.) - HOOOAH! MOL!

Armed with tactical fluff, a fierce wolf mask, and a cleaver that’s seen more action than a haunted tomb, I'm ready to take on the undead in style. Smooch thinks he can beat my record of forty-two zombies flagged, tagged and bagged … but we all know how that’s going to end. 😹

 I may look all cute and fluffy most of the time, but really, I am as dangerous as fluff. (Well, mew know that from our adventures.)

And now for the fangtastic news...

Guess what? Today’s post is bursting with brain-boosting goodies:

I think I'm looking pretty EPIC! MOL MOL

It took me 9 mins 19 secs...  How did mew do?
