    Here we are. Another year is almost over. The winter solstice is around the corner, along with any number of special holidays. It's a white Christmas in Oslo. The snow came relatively early here this year, falling in November and staying ever since, with every apparent intention to stick it out until spring. And I am sitting at home resting and relaxing, also, until spring.

    New story: The Queen's Speech

    You know, we as a community have not grappled enough with the fact that in the movie Queen Haven was deposed and arrested, broke out of jail, and then went right back to being queen after as if nothing had happened. Girlboss.

Rarity's influence extends. · 12:46pm Aug 1st, 2023

I go biking a lot, when the weather permits. It is my preferred way to exercise, and I love to explore the woods and see beautiful sights both natural and manmade. There are countless little wonders all around us, as it turns out.

And sometimes I see other things.

There are a lot of horse stables around here, and I always make a point of saying hello to my horse friends when I see any. But did you know they make sunglasses for horses? At least I assume that's what they are: a sort of mesh pulled over the horse's eyes. I never saw them before this year, but now they're common. I guess it's a consequence of global warming.

So naturally they come in different styles.

Hahahahahaha, Rarity would *surely* approve!

Oh, this is amazing. And just asking for more explicit MLP references.

They dressed up fancy for the birthday celebration! :raritystarry:

(The birthday is for the southern hemisphere horses, but the celebration itself is worldwide, because why deny yourself a party?)

Ooh good point! I didn't realize without a party hat ^^;

They're actually more fly masks than 'sunglasses'. some horses won't tolerate them over the ears as well, but you still want to keep certain kinds of insects from, say, laying eggs or such; eyeworm disease is nasty. There are a few external parasites to watch out for. ^^;

What a wonderful idea, but the eye placement is wigging me out a little. :rainbowlaugh:
