Hmm. I briefly, sort of covered this in an If Meerkats Could… post, but I can re-examine the notion once more. The inherent risk with time travel, is that you might do something that makes the world considerably more dangerous, or that ruins the lives of the very people you want to help. History is […]
We have arrived at the end of another year. Last year brought highs and lows, and 2022 has been no different. There’s been turmoil, and stress, and sadness, and laughter, and love. Early 2022 brought with it the unpleasant experience of covid-19. The illness ripped through my household, and left us all feeling tired and […]
Well, if we ever needed a reminder in my house that covid is still with us, my daughter provided it, on Christmas Day no less. She was a bit under the weather, so we tested her, and sure enough, she tested positive. Great, just great. She is, by and large, absolutely fine, as is my […]
Good question, tough one for me to answer. Millennials are considered to be those born between 1981 and 1996, and Gen Zs are categorised as born between 1997 and 2012. Millennials would be the first generation to grow up in the era of the internet, and as a Millennial myself, I dare say the rise […]
The Season is upon us, but will we see goodwill to all? The Countdown Begins I resist Christmas, to a point, that point being the 1st of December. Why, you ask? Because to me, Christmas starts in December. At that point, the decorations and lights and Christmas music can come out. Indeed, on the 1st, […]
We have arrived at the end of November. From this point forward, Christmas can truly begin. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. Where are we at? Fear Right at the end of the last two-week cycle of these Muses, missiles crashed into Poland, near the border with Ukraine, sparking fears of a new, very serious escalation […]
The Muse has returned! As we approach the middle of November, I tend to pause and reflect upon the previous twelve months, as November is my birthday month. I become another year older (not necessarily any wiser mind), and I contemplate the relentless passage of time. Ideally, my birthday would also be a time to […]
I hope someone remembered to wake up Green Day. September has ended, and colder days are settling in. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. What awaits us in October? Turmoil She’s been Prime Minister for little more than a month, yet Liz Truss seems determined to eclipse even Boris Johnson for ineptitude. The mini-budget from Chancellor […]
We are rolling into autumn, the heat of summer is now but a memory, and the nights are getting longer. September has been a tiring month on this green and pleasant isle, and now it draws to an end. Remembering Greatness This is my Grandfather, Ben Berwick. I was named after him. In this photo, […]
Here we go again! What is there to Muse about? A few things… Pan-Handling I have no idea why (beyond perhaps, the YouTube algorithm suggesting videos, that then seeped into my subconscious), but the other week, I had a dream about the Napoleonic War series Sharpe. The bulk of what I remember involves me, Sean […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education. Tom believes that education should be in private hands, which he believes would therefore be subject to the whim and will of parents. He does not like what state education teaches, and considers it to immoral. […]
