Coffee trip....

Carnival in Düsseldorf

The price of coffee on the world market has risen in the last 2 months to an unbelievable high this has of course put the price up in the shops. We live about 80 KM from the Dutch border and surprisingly there is the coffee around one third cheaper as here in Germany. So yesterday morning I drove to a Dutch town called Venlo and bought 20lb of coffee beans. Taking into consideration the cost of petrol that I used for the journey all in all we saved on the day 32 Euros.
Talking about the price of petrol! It's getting to the stage were one starts to think about using the car, the alternative being the bike or just plain walking to and from the shops.
A fortnight ago I had the annual inspection of the project were I am the janitor (three houses and surrounding gardens) My intentions was to retire at the end of this year from the job but that was also my intention last year but they asked me if I would stay on till the end of this year. Now they have again asked me to stay till the end of 2012 and I have agreed. As long as I am fit enough to do the job with out any problems I thought why not it's better then not doing nothing.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
