Yesterday was such a sunny day here so we decided to further explore the neighbourhood of this apartment we are buying. A walk by the river and then we meet some rather cute neighbours too!

Love the photos XX! Is the apartment on the river? How scenic an area!

Just got back from a girls weekend in Chicago. It was the first visit for all of us and we agreed it was a city to visit again.

Love Chicago and it has wonderful theater as well. Steppanwolf Theater started off some very well known actors. The restaurants are great too.

Say, pursey, sorry to butt in, but the CSGM Pirouette au Galop in the dark bg with whilte/light sketches is actually, IIRC, marine blue with at least some pale pink in the sketches, not black and while (though it looks like it in photos). I could also be wrong. I often am. But just in case this is something you want to check on as you build your wishlist!

lulilu, I wish it was but no it's not right by the river but it's a very short walk away. It is beautiful area and has always carried premium in RE prices.

xiangxiang, is that in the UK or US (or would you rather not say)? I should probably be able to tell from the photos, but can't.
What a lovely day! The area looks beautiful.

I can't believe it is mid-August already. This summer has WHIZZED by and I didn't really DO anything! Sheesh.
Well, I adopted a puppy. That addled my brains.

Mindi B, it's in the UK. The river is the Thames.

That is a massive achievement Mindi B! I must say I agree that Summer has gone quickly! We have had a not bad summer and a lot of dry spells!

If someone had twisted my arm and forced me to identify the locale, that would've been my guess. So beautiful.

I absolutely love summary days like this by the river! You really feel so happy looking at that view!

Speaking of real life, why does house trouble come in bunches? I believe various components of my home--structure, plumbing, appliances--communicate in secret so they can all go haywire at the same moment. Rotton inanimate objects. Can't trust 'em.
I have learned not to say things like, "Well, at least THAT'S taken care of" too loudly, lest my surroundings be listening. And plotting.

We ate Chicago style pizza. I tried a bit of the deep dish but stuck with thin crust

Lol! That is the one thing I don't like. Too much bread there.

I never met a carb I didn't like, unfortunately.
