Group hug please

Those of you who follow the running wave will be very familiar with my little sidekick, Tilly.  She is my stalwart walking companion, and of course one of our most precious family members.  This morning I had to take her over to the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, which is part of the University of Edinburgh.  They have a hospital for small animals, and Tilly is there today because, a few weeks ago and out of the blue, a tumour appeared at the base of one of her ears.  The result of this, very sadly, is that Tilly will lose her ear.  The whole thing, auditory canal, the lot, will be removed today, in the hope that she can then carry on with her very happy life for a long time to come.   The rest of her furry self has been scanned and is absolutely fine.  

 I am a great believer in the power of positive thinking, and so I wondered if all those reading the running wave today might join me in sending Tilly Tiptoes lots of love and good wishes, for a safe journey through surgery, and a good and swift recovery, so that she and Ted can pick up where they left off yesterday.
Thank you!

    Tilly's Devon chum, Pumpkin, is sending healing woofs and can't wait to see Tilly again and to meet Ted next year. Pumpkin's mum is joining in the group hug . . . XXX

    I hope that she's OK, I know how awful it is when our 4 footed friends are ill.
    Sending lots of positive thoughts to Tilly and you.

    Big hugs all round, I hope she is on the way to recovery now. It sounds as though they caught it early so I'm sure she will be back to her usual self very soon. Take care, Antonia x

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
