Morning

[briarwood]

Well, it's morning and I don't see any smoke rising over Newport. BBC News isn't mentioning Newport or Cardiff among the cities that saw rioting last night...but the BBC wouldn't notice if Cardiff vanished into the rift, so I'm not sure that's evidence of peace. I guess I'll find out when I get to work.

I haven't heard about anything happening, either, not via the news or via friends. But if there was anything, let me know?

I heard they were expecting trouble - a lot of shops closed early. But so far I have't heard of any serios trouble. We may have dodged the bullet. *Fingers crossed*

I hope that the current unrest stays away from your neck of the woods. It's terrible and must be very frightening for anyone caught in the middle of it.

So far, Wales seems to have gotten away with it. I was in Cardiff last night and there was no sign anyone expected trouble - restaurants had their outside seating in place, the craft stores (little wood huts) were still open. No sign of police, either, though I'm told the night before there was a huge police presence.

The authorities seem to be assuming this is over...which seems a dangerous assumption to me, but let's hope.
