Chumley was a very loving, happy little dog. Things he had never experienced before would often freak him out. The first time he saw snow he was amazed...then delighted. The first time he saw a donkey he was amazed...and then a little bit scared. Same goes for the first horse and the first cow he saw.
The first time he saw people lying on the grass (sunbathing) in our local park he was horrified - I think he thought they'd been hurt! He ran round trying to get them to stand up.

Good question! Twenty years ago I hurt my back very badly and knew I could no longer teach full time. While I was lying there unable to move (and more than a bit feverish from the pain), I started thinking about what I might do instead. "I know," I foolishly thought, "I'll write a book!"

One morning about six months ago, I opened my front door only to find a doormat sitting there where no doormat had sat before. It was semi-circular in shape, made from coconut fibres, neither very new nor very old, slightly worn, but only slightly. I was shocked: inside my apartment everything seemed familiar; outside, everything appeared to have changed. I live in a tower block, and my immediate thought was that this was the handiwork of my neighbour’s two children. I left it where it was, expecting its rightful owner to come and retrieve it; it was, after all, quite distinctive in its own way. Days passed—weeks—and still it sat there unclaimed. I eventually came up with a theory: some kind person who’d moved out of the block, having no further use for it, had found it a new home. In the dead of night. As silent as a thief. Of course that was the explanation. What else could it be? #MysteryWeek
