Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends
Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!
Happy Wednesday, supurr furiends, and thanks so much for dropping by. Relax, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ this week.
And yesterday it was a mix of clouds and sun all day with a high of 19 Celsius, which is much more tolerable than last week.
Those high temperatures in the U.K. are suffocating, as it’s so humid and unpleasant. We even got the portable air-con unit out, as the bricks warm up and then the house gets hotter and hotter until it heaves with heat due to the extra-thick walls.
Anyhoo, we like this week’s weather better, and on Sunday we helped snoopervise in the veggie garden as the P.A. and Cat Dad planted: runner beans, peas, broad beans, lettuce, courgettes, tomatoes, mini cucumbers, all types of peppers, more tomatoes, more lettuce, shallots, and beetroot.
Plus nasturtiums as sacrificial plants, oh, and there was some basil, not me MOL, and coriander planted too, as the older herbs had wilted too much in the heat.
Cat Dad is planning to set up an irrigation system once the planting is finished. There are a lot more empty pots, and the P.A. will hopefully get some more compost and a few more plants next weekend, and we’re done there.
Here’s this week’s flower offering, this time we’re sharing the rose in the courtyard and the one at the back of the summerhouse.
The blooms are incredible!
There are still two more to go, so don’t worry, we’ll share those after the P.A. gets over her boggle!
Anyhoo, let’s look at this week’s top headlines.
First up in the news this week
Fudge enjoyed a lovely garden pawtrol the other day, well, he does every day, but the P.A. managed to snap him in action, well, sitting there assessing everything! MOL
Next up in the news
Smooch got himself under the gazebo for a nice chillaxing session; he knows where to get! MOL

Finally this week
The Psychedelic Feline bandana is this week’s top pick. Last week we thought the P.A. might have finished the new collection, but sadly she didn’t, so this month we’re returning to some summer favourites!
Doesn’t he look epic?
And as he modelled this bandana way back in March 2023, we have videos to share again!
Check out Melvyn’s videos on your favourite social media channel below, and he chose classic 80s tracks to strut to:
