And I live in the village of Dunning, home to The Dupplin Cross and the estate of Duncrub, with its chapel. Should be easy enough. On the other hand finding a new angle might be a challenge....

Well - ailment has put paid to my aspirations. I have tennis elbow on the right arm - too much Wii Tennis the doc tells me.
So no piccies for another week. Mustn't lean on or use my right arm in a manner that is likely to create the same effect...  :'( :-\

I had a few options, a picture of a train Driver, a model beginning with D, a Daughter, Daylight - oh the list was endless...
Even had one on mind i was gonna call "Dead Cert"  :D

Well the only thing I came up with was a self portrait I took while messing about yesterday. I could call it  " D for Dave "  not intentionally done for the comp just trying a few things out so I will give it a miss this week...... :legit:

Just had to join in this week  ;)

I was at a dog meet on Saturday and at an open day at our local shelter on Sunday.

I thought this one would fit the bill. The explanation as to what they're doing is in my album. A bit weird, but then we dog owners are a strange lot  :legit:
