We had a full day of walking yesterday, and quite a few impressions to go with it. We saw the the Tate Modern and tried to figure out how long it would take either me or Mom to be exhibited there. Then we had a very good lunch at a hole-in-the-wall thai restaurant. It was run by 6Thai women and located between train bridges, old factory buildings and in a back alley. We loved the food and the price, too! Definetly an insider.
Then we took a voyage to the Tate Britain. It was a long walk from the station, but worth it. I liked the works here better than in the modern Tate. These were more "timeless" and more interesting, actually.
Then we went back to the hotel to get ready for the musical "Singin in the Rain". The show was great, but the seats were really small. There was less leg room on them than in a tight airplane. We had a good view, though, considering it was the nose bleed section.
So after that we went to bed, very tired and with sore feet but with great experiences at hand.

Today we will go to Kews, I am excited!

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
