Day 236: Dies Caniculares

Disrespectful or stupid?
Dog days are come early.  I am stupid and slow with heat.  And it's not just me.  This morning some rabbits stay put as I run past them with a scant metre's margin.  Like we're in a scene from the Teletubbies.  I feel mildly insulted.  Although I pose no actual threat (I am not a heron), they are not to know that.  It would be appropriate and respectful to fear me, on a size basis if nothing else.

The fields are full of hay bales and clouds of tiny midges.  I eat quite a lot as I run (serves me right for being a mouth-breather). 

I don't know where my mobile is.  I'm not wearing a watch.  Or shoes.  If I were a rabbit, and a human ran past, I suspect I'd stay put.
