What can I say, we haven’t had a particularly warm July. It has been particularly cool in fact, but now we are back to 20+ temperatures. Note, 20 something – not 30 or even 40, like in the rest of Europe. People are dying because of the heat, but up here, only the shrews seem to suffer the fate.
Found this poor thing expired on my driveway when I came home from work. What it was doing there in the first place I’ll never know… plenty of shade all around in the forest, no need to run across the hot tarmac!
