We’re well-into the Summer Holidays (well, as a full-time salesperson, there’s no such thing for me!), and there’s some ground to cover, as we jump back into the Meerkat Muse! This one is out of sync with the bi-weekly idea, but there’s a good reason for that, which will become apparent later. We kick off […]
It’s Muse time! Let’s kick off with a scary story… Back to School Inspired by discussion of new school uniforms for my daughter, I had a dream about being back at school, getting ready in the morning, and about having, *gulp*, PE lessons. I was scrambling to find my PE uniform (particularly the shorts), and […]
We’re very much into summer, and there’s a few things to look forward to, but what has been going on these past two weeks?! Forgive the, ah, grim nature of this opening bit, but invariably, we get to politics, and some decidedly Not Suitable For Work stuff (in more ways than one!) Johnson Blows UK […]
Welcome back ‘kats, to the latest edition of your favourite show, the Meerkat Muse! We kick things off with a topic that’s been in the news a lot… The Platinum Jubilee On the 2nd of June, Queen Elizabeth II marked her Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years as the UK’s monarch. Her reign officially began on […]
We have arrived at the halfway point of 2022! So Close… but so far… The Premier League season came to its conclusion on the 22nd of May, and a season defined by narrow margins came down to the wire, with my beloved Liverpool missing out on the title by one meagre point. At one stage […]
May the Fourth be with you! Yes, it’s Star Wars day, and it just so happens to be a Muse day! Poetic! Memory Fails I am growing increasingly convinced my mind is not what it was. Is it a consequence of covid? Is it a misfiring synapse in my brain? I’m not talking major memory […]
It’s done! Tattoo Number Five! You can sing this to the tune of Mambo Number Five if you want. I’m not sure how that would work but it might be possible… Ahem. Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Reflections I mentioned in my previous Muse that the 15th of April was the 10th anniversary of […]
April begins with a choice. As it appears I am going to a comic-con event at the end of April, I require an outfit. The leading contenders are: Generic Meerkat…. or…. Scrooge McDuck. Now, Generic Meerkat is going to be warm, and the comic-con will be at the ExCel Centre in London, where a great […]
It’s that time again! It’s Meerkat Muse time! Dreams We begin with a dream that technically could have slipped into the previous Muse, but I hadn’t figured it out (and still haven’t). I was walking near the woods, and there was a river, lined with a wooden jetty and old, abandoned building/house, that I found […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! The End of an Era The other week my wife and I completed our watch of the 2019 edition of Masterchef Australia, which brought with it the end of the judging careers of Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston (at least for now). I was sad to see […]
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...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
