Bearing that in mind and taking inspiration from, shall we say, esoterica....
Yesterday, it was announced that Prince William is to take a 10 week course at Cambridge University, studying agricultural management as a foundation for his future role. It should be a piece of cake for Wills, given his previous experience as a student at St. Andrew's University in Scotland, where he met Kate. (BBC News)
Today it was reported that early yesterday a Dr. Kate Stone, a 30 year old Cambridge University academic who was born a man, is in a serious condition in hospital after being gored in the neck by a stag in Lochailort, Fort William, en route to a party at a Jim Hunter's house. A gamekeeper described the incident as a "chance in a million". Stags are known both as beasts and indeed as the Monarch of the Glen. (mail on line)

| The gorey alley where the attack transpired |
Bear in mind that Holyrood in Edinburgh, which sits in the shadow of Arthur's Seat, was reputedly founded by King David back in 1128, after he encountered a stag whilst hunting and, in fear for his life, cried out for God's help, the stag's antlers then miraculously forming the shape of a cross, causing the beast to flee. Holyrood today contains both the Royal Palace and the Scottish Parliament, whilst the Stone of Destiny lies not far away, just up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh Castle.

If you.ve not seen the logo above is the link.
Perhaps an Orwellian take might be ' Some will be born more luminous than others "

Nice to hear from you. And a 'happy 2014'.
That 'Kate Stone' and the stag story is bizarre (as in stretches the bounds of credulity). Have to admit it's a constant source of amazement for me how the ppl associated with these 'incidents' have names that 'fit'.
W studying 'agricultural management' is a larf. 'Fehu'- 'cattle', the first letter of the runic alphabet. Why do I suspect it didn't mean the four-legged kind?

Brian - hope your head's not too bad !
Also William's mother Diana was the goddess of the hunt.
Frank
Moon, thanks, yeah, some more luminous.
Anon (from south of the b) - It amazes me too...note that her name prior to Kate was Nicholas, as in Old Nick. She is 44 by the way, not 30.
John- many thanks. Many monarchial BBC stories get printed at 11.11, I don't have the facilities, or knowledge, of how to screen copy though. Nice dogs by the way, there is another here, I will maybe post his image next year.
Anon(s?) at 5.16 - Many thanks indeed, adds fuel to the fire so to speak.
Frank, rough as a badger. Up till early hours, on water for last couple but boy bouncing on bed early doors was a headache. Such is life, is not a daily thing.
Also note that BBC have captioned a picture of Kate with the tag - "Kate Stone was the "victim of a freakish accident" said a witness." The double set of inverted commas are relevant, the black humour perhaps a figment of my imagination... or maybe something deeper.
