 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!

Next up in the news...

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

In other news...

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

Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments!
