1:00 am

Glantarell

I was planning to spend the day taking a drive around Llyn Brianne (a very pretty lake about 25 miles away) then on to Strata Florida Abbey then home - but the weather is poor so I'll probabl stay home and do housework instead :-(

1:00 am

cybernan

and another lake is loaded

1:01 am

Glantarell

My lake is much hated in Wales

1:01 am

cybernan

I spent the day revisiting Stourhead and Lacock Abbey as I work on the video of our trip -- one of the nicest days we had - Stourhead is so gorgeous

1:02 am

cybernan

1:02 am

jillibus

1:02 am

Glantarell

I've never been Nan - but Strata Florida is where several Welsh princes are buried

1:03 am

Glantarell

The lake - Llyn Celyn (Lake Celyn) was reated in the middle of the 20th century, when the governement decided to relocate the people form two village, and flood 800 acres

in order to create a reservoir to supply water to the city of Liverpool (in England)

1:44 am

jillibus

1:45 am

flosey

good night and thanks for the help. sleep well.

1:51 am

jillibus

deb, it's rather early for you, isn't it? Or late?

1:51 am

debjed

i should still be asleep - 2:50 am here

1:52 am

jillibus

That's what I figured, deb

1:52 am

debjed

can't sleep - so many worries in my head

1:52 am

jillibus

Oh dear -- what worries?

1:54 am

debjed

I'm currently unemployed from a job I had for 12 years. I own a little house but might have to put it on the market. No insurance. No good job prospects in my area

1:54 am

jillibus

oh, deb, that's sad!

1:56 am

debjed

there are some good job prospects down in Knoxville, TN where I am currently visiting old friends. the cost of living here is cheaper, but I currently live 2 miles from my 85 year old mother. So it would be really hard to leave Illinois.

1:56 am

jillibus

Is your mother healthy?

1:58 am

debjed

very bad arthritis so it's hard for her to get around. and Dad died 6 years ago. But, my other sister lives about 1/2 mile from Mom.

1:58 am

jillibus

Maybe she would enjoy TN too

1:58 am

debjed

she's very stubborn and won't move :)

2:00 am

jillibus

oh well, if your sister is nearby she'll be ok. Maybe she'll visit you in TN or vice versa. Don't be tied to her. I'm 84 and don't live near any family. I have friends.

2:00 am

debjed

I'll be ok.... would you happen to have clues for the I in the bottom corner?

2:00 am

ursh

change is very scary when you 85 i think

2:00 am

negativeneil

Hi jilli, debjed, ursh.
