The second mayor broadcast from the Old Courthouse, yesterday, was far, far better than the first. We were perhaps a little disparaging about the initial newscast. In the second there was some genuinely new information that I for one had not heard elsewhere. Positive was the way in which the town council was now thinking about a support plan for how businesses might emerge from and contemplate life after coronavuirus. Large chainstores may not survive, Harris suggested, but businesses offering something distinctive or special will (or, perhaps to be safest, might). As for Harris's performance, he is a good and confident speaker. From his body language, I'd say he was at his least convincing when taking about the children's coronavirus superhero competition. Did he feel uncomfortable about this?
Yesterday, Harris had discarded the mayoral bling and that was an immediate improvement. He also illustrated something that will befall us all before long and as time goes by: our hair does not recognise lock-down and, with no salons or barbers open, it will become more and more difficult for us to manage the mane or control the wayward wool atop our torsos. But, who cares and perhaps after coronavirus we might all become a little more self-assured not to worry about something that, frankly, is much less important.
From today, Arriva Buses has suspended its X51 service from Ruthin/Rhuthun to Wrecsam. The service continues between Rhuthun and Dinbych. Arriva had made earlier changes to its network, on and from March 23rd, but at that point there was no significant change to the Wrecsam service, unlike now. Non-Arriva bus services in Rhuthun slimmed down on and from March 30th, other than that to Corwen.
On the wireless this afternoon is a veiled threat that our daily exercise might be curtailed or even made illegal. This following anti-social behaviour and selfish acts in parts of Britain where people are ignoring the requirements for placing appropriate distance between themselves and others or lounging on beaches. without exercise, it's rater like living in a prison cell. If such self-centred actions result in the discontinuance of the one daily exercise slot we are legally allowed, this more than anything else will make lock-down intolerable and, for me, have a negative impact on my own mental well-being.
