A brisk & chilly run by the loch and then a full day so only now the chance to trawl the news. And what news ! Where does one start ? The Durban Climate Change Summit is grinding to a halt because the rich nations can't be arsed with the troubles faced by anywhere that's not a prospective trading partner (ref). Bellicose posturing by vote-hungry governments of US & Iran seems to be bringing yet another unwinnable war closer by the day (ref). And so on and so on. One small glimmer of hope is the UK Labour Party's shadow business secretary, Chuka Umunna (ref), who seems to be intelligent, calm, and principled. He's also been referred to as a British Barak Obama, but we can only hope that he will be less of a disappointment.
