Bors would stop work for an hour when the sun was high, to avoid the attentions of the Noon Witch. (Do you have the Noon Witch in your country? She might be endemic to our region. She looks like a girl dressed in white, and she carries a scythe. If she talks to you while you are working, you must never try to change the subject or she will strike off your head or give you heatstroke. I’ve never heard of her appearing in the winter, as she’s a demon of sunstroke, but obviously it was better to be safe than sorry.)
