The Aquarius Mug


Aquarius mug (1)

I'm not an Aquarius but a Leo. Someone bought me the Leo mug from this set at the beginning of the year and I loved it muchly. It harked back to the first mug that was properly 'mine' when I was about seven - a gold-leaf Leo on a Prussian blue glaze - and I used it for about six months before it got broken.

Just before that I found the Aquarius mug in the dustbin. It seems that Luisa had bought it for Aimee before she knew I'd been bought one, and seeing the similarity, elected not to give her a similar mug to her wyfe's (she was not worthy.) Luisa will give all sorts of excuses but...

So that's how I ended up with an Aquarius mug.

Rescue an abandoned stray mug? Sweet.
Heaven knows what it might have been up to on its own, going feral and biting people, I would not be surprised...

Indeed.
Alas that it's mate was broken else I might have had some pretty tea bowls too.

I have the Virgo and Aquarius too. Only because I loved the Virgo one and the only other one left was Aquarius and I had to have it!! How odd we both 'rescued' the same mug! Mine from Woolies though!

I love personal mugs, you don't feel obliged to let others use them.
