Displacement activity

A fast and frosty run through the woods before returning to the Highlands. 
This morning the UK media are in overdrive as they pick endlessly through the story of the cruise ship that crashed into Italy. A serious accident definitely, though perhaps less so than the overloaded ferries that sink from time to time elsewhere in the world. However, as concerned reporters ask survivors again and again what it was like to be involved/rescued, the coverage seems to be more to do with grasping a "human interest" alternative to the meltdown of the Eurozone than it has with the objective reporting of facts.
