Jessica has been pretty stressed out. There are so many people here you can hardly walk. We even looked into train and airline tickets. I thought I could leave early and Nicole, Jürgen and Sarah could come home on Saturday. But the last minute flights are too expensive. So we just need to hang in there. We will take her out early in the morning and later in the evening. After the crowds are gone. This morning Nicole and I got out early for coffee on St Mark's. Jürgen is out with Sarah for lunch. I will go with Nicole to see art this afternoon. We probably will never come here again because of the crowds. I wish Jessica was willing to take a boat. There are great daytrips near here. Maybe we should have gotten an apartment or house off the island. That is just how life is when you have an autistic child. You do what you can. Some do not even try. I’m glad we tried this. It is stressful, but ok.

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
