On page 85, Christopher talks about describing the people in his story by mentioning one or two details about them. For example, the policeman who looked as if he had two mice in his nose, and 'the thing Rhodri smelled of' but which Christopher didn't know the name for.

Describe some of the people in your life by mentioning just one or two unique details about them.

Challenge: I find lots of noise in a confined space really hard to cope with - like busy restaurants. I find it really hard to concentrate on what people are saying to me because all the other noise in the room interferes.

Strategy: My strategy for coping with this is to be careful which restaurants I go to and which table to sit at. Also, I sit on the end of my table so that I can easily hop up and walk outside for a little while, when I need to.

Challenge: If I've been working too much and haven't given myself any quiet time, or time to do things that I love doing, I tend to get anxious (and if I'm honest, a bit sulky too!)

Strategy: I've found it helpful to plan ahead, and block out time in the week for me to go running and spend time with friends. This really helps to lower my stress levels and feel happier generally.
