This is the most quintessentially Welsh response possible, and I would expect no less.

Well if anyone wondered what Wales is getting up to during the Quarantine, someone set up a Facebook group called Côr-ona (“côr” being the Welsh word for choir), and are using it to teach each other descants for famous Welsh music and songs. It was set up three days ago and already has 10000 members. One of those was an accidentally-added non-Welsh speaker who is very confused, but everyone is delighted by his bewildered presence. Occasionally someone will go for a walk on a beach or mountain and upload a video of themselves singing one of the descants they’ve learned.

At the beginning of this week a book that I used to have as a kid randomly kept popping into my mind. I couldn’t remember much detail about it (including the title at first) but I tracked it down and ordered it on a whim, since it was so cheap. I read it this morning and it was the best decision. Like everyone, I’ve been feeling pretty anxious about the pandemic and everything recently. Working in a hospital, even just in administration, it’s hard not to be. But for half an hour, or however long it took me to finish it, I was in a different, safer world. Countless people have said this more eloquently but the experience really brought home to me why reading and writing and the arts in general are so important.
So, I guess this is just me adding my voice to those saying that if you write or draw or create any kind of art at all then what you do is so very valuable and thank you. <3
