busy weekend

it was a busy weekend for sure.

ani moved back in temporarily...rob is moving to alberta and she needed somewhere to stay for a couple of months...just till she gets herself on her feet. i offered right away b/c last time she stayed i quite liked the company. after 4 years of living alone...it was nice. so i spent alot of the weekend cleaning and organising so she has a bit of space transforming my office into her bedroom.

also this weekend my friend jimmy had a mini scooter rally which i participated in. managed to get the vespa out on friday night. saturday unfortunately it was acting up. she still needs it's over hall poor gal and it's been a challenge to find a good mechanic that has the time to put into her.

long week

seems like a long week for me...creeping by. worked mostly but managed to get a bit of vespa practice in...and some socializing. was a bit too tired to head to showboat tonight so i decided to just hang at home w/ the puppy.

ani was giving me riding tips this week...i'm getting better at the gears etc....but the girl needs a little tune up still.

me trying to kick over the vespa



also.....a very special birthday wish tonight to little sophie girl who is two today! charlie and i love you!!!

my new...old...baby!

ok...i did it! after looking for a little while i finally found a wee small frame 64 vespa, 90cc, just my size. ...make that '65...i think. the girl i bought it from thought it was a '64...but the insurance say's '65 :)

she's a bit of a beater...but has a great engine...i think lol...and she can be prettied up if i decide to


liz knows her vespas. she came to check things out with me. here she is demonstrating it's lightness....


i'll be keeping the jazz for a while yet...i need to practice on this one and get my full license. before that i'm not allowed to ride it unsupervised......technically...;)
