Dave, there are two 'chat threads.' I assume this is the right one.

Home ... at least this should be do-able whatever the weather!

If you live on the streets it will be a problem; looking after a camera might be just too much to ask for in a situation like that.
Plenty of homeless people these days kip on friends' settees and they may still be able to join in!

I thought this would be easy, but I'm actually struggling!

In spite of the wide brief, I cannot really think of something worthwhile to shoot. Haven't got much time either at the moment, but I haven't given up yet.

Just posted my entry 'The promise of a good evening.'

The promise stayed a promise, as I did not open the bottle!

Taken on our south west facing terrace, when the sun was going down last night (Thursday 1 st September).

First two entries imply home is where the booze is!

(You're not ugly Jim, are you?)

Referring to the signature I hope.  :P
Lol. Doesn't help with the latter half of the statement either.  :beer:

Yep, I was referring to the signature. However ... when I decided to have a 'closer look, ' I realised you use your camera as a disguise!

This is a typical prelude to the greeting I get each time I come home. Even if I have only been out for an hour or so he'll push past anyone to get to me first and go loopy till I make a fuss of him :)

I envy you that! I remember the welcome I used to get in the 'old days,' when we had an airedale terrier.
Now living in an apartment, we don't have a dog, and somehow hubby doesn't show the same, relentless enthusiasm!
