Very many thanks to all three of you!
'Tread' was the only thing I could think of that would fit that one but couldn't think of an appropriate down word with a 'D' in the middle. I would never have thought of 'dodgy' - it doesn't fit the clue, to me.
A nice international help out, there
Now I can post my entries - and go on to ClueWords and StarHunts with a little time off from those while I do the Sudoku 12 comps (usually do those three in one sitting).
Thanks again!
Sue
(Butterfly, do you like Mandy Patinkin? He's coming HERE (Adel, Syd, Melb & Bris) next month. I've been a HUGE fan of his for over 10 years - got my ticket (6 rows from stage). Five weeks to go, for Melb)
