Picspam Not Exactly Wednesday (7/52) books and horse

Sorry for the lateness. It's been a week.

Might be NSFW if your workplace objects to anatomically accurate depictions of animals. Definitely not porn.


pile of books

I went to the library sale last week. They were selling off their class set of Lance Armstrong memoirs, It's Not About The Bike It's the Drugs. I guess they don't need those any more.

bronze horse

My mother wanted me to have my grandmother's bronze horse. When my mother was growing up in Euroa, her parents had two horses, Captain and Fairy. A boy and a girl. She bought a bronze horse and named it Fairy, after the mare. Bear in mind, this little bronze was in my grandmother's possession, and then in my mother's, for decades. It was on display (when my grandmother had it. It's not really my mother's style.)

Up until last Tuesday, no one thought to turn Fairy over. My mother gave her to me, and I flipped her over and said "Hey, wait a moment!" Fairy has balls. It would definitely never have occurred to my Nan to check that, and this is even though she lived on a farm.

Just because she's MAAB doesn't mean Fairy shouldn't self-identify as she prefers....*snerk*

In fairness to your grandma, you don't normally have to go looking for a horse's bits. They're usually fairly self-evident.

I'm not sure what it says about me, but looking for the bits would certainly have happened in the early stages of owning a horse ornament... *blushes* *is twelve*
