I walked outside this afternoon to go to the library and saw a pink Vespa parked with the bicycles in the yard! I called wax from the bridge to tell her about it. It's gorgeous and retro, with chrome and everything! So I took pictures of it, and then I wandered around and took pictures of other pretty, sun-soaked things in my neighbourhood.

A pink Vespa (off-brand, says wax) peeps coyly from behind the hedge.

Note blond suede seat.

This building, right behind the public sports park, might have a retirement home in it. Or the Red Cross offices.

A playhouse in one of the many neighbourhood playgrounds.

Balconies overlooking the river.

The nearest spot of riverbank to us looks directly over at Arken, the Faculty of Humanities' self-contained complex of renovated antique buildings around a gated courtyard and connected, now, with metal and glass walkways. The red brick building with the tower was a factory in the early 1800s; it's now the Humanities Library.

The boardwalk on our side of the river is almost completed.

Birches lining the riverbank.

A bit of walkway across the street from us with a little "not a through-walkway" sign. Except it totally is a through-walkway. Bitches. And I walk on it all the time, so hah.
