Imperia Italy

Today is Juergen’s 53rd birthday. We had a nice breakfast together. Afterwards we worked on some school work. Then Juergen took a nap and the kids watched TV. Nicole & I took a walk in Imperia. It’s a small but charming place. It was a little hard to park the car, but we figured it out. Then we walked slowly up the hill towards the big church. We shopped for fruit, vegetables and meat along the way. The vegetables are beautiful. They had these sweet flat peaches, and purple asparagus’, the flowers of the zucchini and small artichokes. It’s like art! I bought an heirloom tomatoe just for the seeds. It’s a locally grown Oxon heart tomatoe. This is actually a pretty common variety of tomatoe. But the women called it the heart of the bull. I like the Italian name better. This afternoon Juergen plans to take the kids to the beach. I’ll probably begin to pack. We leave for Tuscany in the morning, God willing. Italy is an inspiration of color and taste. I really do love it here.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
