No new Covid-19 deaths reported in Wales for the second day this week. https://nation.cymru/news/no-new-deaths-reported-in-wales-for-the-second-day-this-week/
I spent just over ten years in Cwmdu before I left in mid-October 2017. Many happy memories. The Farmers is now a community pub. I visited it on a return visit in August last year and had a meal. At the time it was managed by a young couple on behalf of the community. For personal reasons they decided to leave and it is now run by two local residents - Colin and Stuart. During the lock down, they operated a takeaway service. I imagine it is now open and running according to national (Cymru) guidance. It has a small beer garden which probably helps. As for the long-term future, that's obviously an unknown, along with so many other businesses across the world.
I made a short video of the village in the last week of 2009.

Cheers! Well done!
(PS Before I came out to Symi in 2017, I lived in Cwmdu and before that Presteigne.)

Many thanks indeed!
PS I circulated the toot by email under the heading 'With Apologies to Arthur Lee' (I'll leave you the task of working out this rather obscure reference!)

@AngharadHafod
I had to do that too - no bios could boot a cd. The cd's from 1994 were used to make boot floppies, yes.

RT @qikipedia
The mathematician Leonard Euler discovered so many properties of mathematics that some are named for the next person to prove them after Euler - to avoid naming everything after Euler.

Did you know Thomas Jefferson spoke #Welsh? Or that Lincoln's family home is in Bala? 5 of the first 6 US presidents were of Welsh descent:

Facebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea

Why do Muslim states stay silent over China’s abuse of the Uighurs?
