Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! What’s been happening kats? The End of the Euros Road On the 10th of July, England (who had somehow scraped their way to the semi-finals of Euro 2024) faced the Netherlands for a place in the final. Awaiting either side would be Spain, who had come from behind to […]
Welcome to what promises to be a very busy Meerkat Muse! There’s a lot of territory to cover here, but first, I need to pay special attention to today, the 10th of July… The First Day Yes, there is a Writing Prompt post with this title, and it just so happens to have gone live […]
Suspicious Minds You may be wondering where I am going with this. Well, this relates to possible efforts to get into some of my accounts. Specifically, I had an email alerting me to someone who tried, and failed, to access my mobile phone account. Going back further, I’ve had sporadic emails alerting me to attempts […]
It’s April! Has Spring finally sprung? And why do I wear a disgruntled expression? To answer the latter question, let’s rewind to the 20th of March… Supply Chains I fully appreciate that there are some issues way beyond the control of anyone where I work, such as the on-going disruption to our supply chain. This […]
I should clarify, Fontana & Istilor is free for a couple of days. amazon.com/dp/B0CR494QMX For the next couple of days, Fontana & Istilor is FREE! When Michael finds an old mirror in his late grandad’s home, he never imagines where it will lead. Transported and transformed, he is trapped in a medieval realm… and he’s […]
February is behind us, and thus begins March. However, before we discuss the start of March, we must indeed look back, and say farewell to February. # Inclement Incidents To describe the 22nd of February as wet would be a disservice to the word wet. It was horrendous. I got to work in the dry, […]
Welcome back one and all to the greatest show on earth, the Meerkat Muse! Not that we’re bragging or anything… Let us begin by picking up with the events of two weeks ago. The King King Charles has cancer, which is something I would not wish upon my worst enemy. At any age, and no […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s start out with something controversial… Brewing a Storm in a Teacup https://x.com/USAinUK/status/1750136728034169147?s=20 The gist of the Twitter link is the outrageous notion that the Colonies have suggested: microwaving tea! Now, I am not against reheating tea in the microwave, but I won’t brew a cuppa via the microwave! […]
I don’t know if I am especially capable of directly contributing to a sci-fi feminist blog, though I already have one or two ideas that are bubbling away. However, I can certainly spread the word, so if any of you ‘kats wish to do so, there is an email address at the link!
Greetings from the Meerkat Muse. Retrospective Thoughts The image of the ocean has been chosen quite deliberately, after a period of introspection. The ocean can be a source of serenity, but underneath, it can be savage, cold and violent. Water gives life, and it can take it away. Watching the waves can be a cathartic […]
I'm gonna confess that my microwaved coffee was not that bad, but it was not as good as the one I subsequently made.
My daughter just suggested I am Richard from Gumball. I am honoured.
I’m quietly hoping Piastri wins this. #HungarianGP
EDIT: this post was written a few weeks ago, before Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy for the 2024 elections. I’ve left it otherwise unmodified, because I believe the overall point stands.
