The Weather Let’s get this over and done with shall we (and I mean that in more ways than one). The weather can best be described as ‘erratic’. Over the Easter Weekend there was a lot of rain, but also bursts of bright blue sky, and the sunshine this meerkat craves. The sun’s light and […]
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? After much deliberation on this one, I have reached an answer: The ideal location would be the left forearm, but my Timon tattoo, whilst not exactly in the way, has a tail that loops around and creates interference. Consequently, Jedi Mario might end up […]
Here we go again! The Weather If there is a pastime all Brits indulge in, it’s moaning about the weather. At the start of this Muse cycle, the weather was bleak. We had a bit of snow (which thankfully didn’t settle), followed by relentless, torrential, cold rain. The other Thursday was particularly damp. The skies […]
I’d have to include some of my weird, personal artwork, such as the above. It would fun to receive that again, some twenty or thirty years from now. I’d chuck in my meerkat costume, for giggles. There’d be some railway stuff in there. How could I not feature something Lion King related? There would inevitably […]
Recently, a religious fundie criticised the notion of tattoos, as part of a long-winded, and ultimately hypocritical rant, on bodily autonomy. There is the issue of tattoos. This has been a worldly practice for millennia. It is not biblical teaching to get a tattoo no matter how romantic or how much it honors another person. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here we go, it’s Meerkat Muse time! After the off-pattern experience of the holiday, are we back to a routine? Yes. Back to Normal Well, I say back to normal, but things have changed a bit at work. We now have a system of targets, which I guess was inevitable, as the company grows, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
