During my sunny afternoon
walk down the lane I passed a dog walker and gave her one of my usual cursory
nod and grunt acknowledgements reserved for strangers met outdoors, and when a
few steps later I heard my name called I just thought Alan was an unusual name
for a dog; only after a step or two more and another call to heel did I realise
the dog walker was a friend, unrecognisably muffled in scarf and bobble hat,
hailing me rather than the pooch.
