Back from London

Here are a few photo's from London. I'm so tired! We walked and walked! And we saw so much in 4 days. But now we need to pack for America. We leave on Friday. Juergen did an awesome job with the kids. What was I worried about? He even cleaned the house. London could break your heart. The people look so sad and alone. Everywhere you look, they all look down. And there are homeless people everywhere. So lost. On the way to the airport they announced that the tube would not stop at a certain stop because someone had killed themselves on the track. Really tragic, but it didn't surprise us. People in London are so lost. We did attend Hill Song church. That was really very good. Much better then we had expected. It runs 5 packed services each week, in the middle of the city. And there are 2 other Hill Song churches in London too. They are doing a good and hard work. They bring some hope and light in a very hard place. We are happy to be home. But it was such a good time!

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
