Cinque Terre maybe

It is our final day in Lucca. Tomorrow we will move to an apartment in Venice. The weather is not so good today. It is raining and there is thunder. Jürgen, Sarah and Nicole are going to go to Cinque Terre. They plan to take the train from La Spezia, and perhaps ride a boat back later in the afternoon. It all depends on weather. I will pack and do the laundry today. Nothing too exciting. Maybe I’ll be able to get Jessica out of the house for a short walk? Maybe a short swim if the weather clears? I’ve got books to read. I’ve been to Cinque Terre a few times, so you do not need to feel sad for me. I just pray the weather is better on the coast then it is here. It is raining hard here. Juergen could use a nice day!

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.

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
