Ascribing human emotions to other animals is not a cornerstone of respectful inter-species co-existence, but the four red deer, who had strayed into a field where they don't belong, did look very embarrassed as we ran past this morning.
Back at base, a quick scan of the news reveals a collection of domestic headlines which don't really need further comment:
- Ministry of Defence cutting 54,000 jobs with no coherent strategy (Guardian)
- PM says Health Secretary has my full support, and denies National Health Service bill disaster (Independent)
- England football team manager resigns (The Times)
- Duchess of Cambridge goes to exhibition all by herself (Daily Telegraph).
No further comment that is except for the enduring mystery of why the game of football is seen as so newsworthy. I'd like to think that it reflects a strand of child-like innocence in our society, but probably it has more to do with testosterone and transferred aggression.
