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 […]
It’s nearly time for Halloween! Beware the Ides of October, If you’re a Tory! Kwarteng gets Kicked Out The on-going meltdown of our government continues. Somehow, Liz Truss is managing to be worse than Boris Johnson (a remarkable feat), and she recently sacked her Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, after just over a month in the post. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ladies, especially those who ride horses or bikes, what do you make of this? The replies to ‘Alpha Masculinity’s’ tweet are hilarious! What we can assert from his tweets is that he is a control freak, who is greatly troubled by women enjoying sexual independence, or even independence of any kind (why else would he […]
Greetings meerkats, and welcome back to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! We begin with something referenced in the previous Muse… Madness On the 5th of May my wife and I saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I wrote a review of it, which represents nothing more than my personal opinion on […]
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 […]
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...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
