Fat woman on horse

grumpdoctor saw a fat woman on a horse. Amusing at first. Lounging in the study with a book, drifting along towards lunch in mid-morning reverie, spending more time gazing out of the window at the fields than paying attention to the page... then she came along: the coconut-clopping of hooves along Main Street announcing her dubious processional. Fat woman on horse. Perfect, comic, endearing and enduring British village scene. Grumpydoctor chuckled, but then noted this expression of abject shame in the mount's eyes. Turned its head as though sensing scrutiny, transmitting embarassment with moist eyes: "fuck-off," it might have said, "enough fat women have ridden you, grumpydoctor, but at least it was in private... and you were doubtless drunk." b
