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.

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.
