This week, Miss Wagstaff has been excited and down in the dumps at the same time, if that’s at all possible. On the one hand, she’s unwell, and on the other she has the opportunity to write a Senedd Circular post that is long overdue.

We can safely put leadership elections on the back burner for a while, the Welsh Labour leadership election has been talked to death [well, nearly!] and the Welsh Liberal Democrat election is a two-horse race that is slowly gaining momentum – and both always seem to be topical on Welsh blogs.

No Senedd Circular today - Miss Wagstaffe is taking a short break.

(PS her latest posting is about explicit pictures).

This week, Miss Wagstaff has been climbing down from a high octane family weekend, only to pick at the odd bits of Welsh news before raking over the bones of the Labour electoral turmoil of weeks past… it seems that it will take a while before we get over recent events – London fell; Councils fell; then it was the turn of Crewe and Nantwich. It’s no wonder that God invented recess!

This week we have a special “link blog” Senedd Circular, as Matt has been rounding up the daffodils earlier and Miss Wagstaff had a night on the tiles (allegedly). So this is a “Matt” roundup.

Today is not only Miss Wagstaff’s birthday, but also - by strange coincidence - a day for local elections. I bet some of you thought it would never arrive! Snippets:

• Who runs Wales at a local level?
• Decline and fall of Labour?
• What a turn up for the books.

Senedd snippets:

* When to cull and when to kill.
* Welsh Assembly Delivers to your doorstep.
* Tea and Crumpet with the First Minister.
