[El Gordo]

An angry run this morning. You know how it is: you're looking forward to your early run but you have a shitty night of little sleep. You get up too late, can't find anything, can't make anything work, then as you leave the house you have the crap scared out of you by a fruit bat that was hanging from your clothes line ... well OK, maybe you don't know what that last part is like, but perhaps you can imagine it. Nasty, brutish things that spread rabies and Hendra virus - you definitely don't want to get bitten by one.

Don't worry -- you're not the only Australian who can't handle a bat very well.
