Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends
Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!
Many apologies for being late with this week's news, the P.A. has been a little under the weather the last few days, and slaving at the BBHQ supurr computer was not high on her priority list!
Anyhoo, we're here now so let's take a look at the runner beans.
We did want to share a video, but we'll go back to the paragraph above and the P.A.'s lack of inclination to make said video.
But the good news is, they are now at the top of the garden arches and are readily sprutting new side shoots, so all being well the flowers won't be long before they appear. And the nice thing is growing them up an arch instead of our usual bamboo wigwam set-up, means that it should be easier to pick the beans instead of having the scrambling through a dense thicket of leaves and twisty stems to find them. They should just hang there, ready for the picking or plucking! MOL
The tomatoes are growing well too.
The P.A. has tied them up since this photo was taken. And flowers are now appearing.
These were grown from some seeds that P.A. found in the potting shed, there were 10 seeds left in a really old packet and eight of them grew. She didn't have very high hopes for the seed, but so far so good. They are the Alicante variety, so we'll let mew know how they are in a few weeks.
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
First up in the news this week
Smooch Knows The Best Spot In The Garden
Smooch loves being in the garden, just bipping about on pawtrol. But his favourite place to snooze is on the sofa under the gazebo.
He says. "Dude's it's the best spot in the garden, mew have a comfy sofa and shade, it's just epic!"
Next up in the news
Parsley The Panfur Stalking Through The Garden
Parsley, like Smooch loves being in the garden. Though he likes to go and hide under one of the bushes near the bird feeders to watch the flying snack packs in stealth.
Sadly, much to the P.A.'s horror he actually caught one the other day and proudly presented his gift at the patio doors.
So we then had to have a funeral, and no Parsley didn't attend as he was under house arrest for crimes committed in the garden!
He's appealing this judgement on his free movement around BBHQ at the moment, and the P.A. is now only letting him when she can snoopervise him while the investigation continues.
Finally this week
Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick
Guys, the Crazy Daisies won by a landslide last week, so here's Melvyn looking epically epic in purrrrrrrple today!
We did have a fun time getting this week's videos done as Melvyn kept getting distracted. And mew may notice that every time he walks into the sitting room, he pauses to see if anypawdy is waiting to ambush him from behind the sofa! MOL
Check out Melvyn strutting his funky stuff on the BBHQ catwalk at:

**PLUS** There's still time to enter Amber's book giveaway, if mew click here.
*And just in case mew're wondering how we pick the winner, we type the full list of names from the blog post and Instagram post, then paste them into the random name picker at www.miniwebtool.com, and it automatically picks the winner.
That's us done for today, Amber won't be here on Friday as she's now on her summer jolly's aka vacation time, but she will be back in the autumn/fall with more epically epic books just for mew.
