Here we go again! Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s kick things off with a peculiar dream, because why not? Irish Adventures I’ve never been to Ireland. I wouldn’t mind doing so one day, but so far, the opportunity hasn’t arisen. In my dream I went to Northern Ireland, a region noted for a […]
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! November is here, which means shorter days and colder nights. Before we get to that, what of the end of October? A Nocturnal Trilogy I had a sequence of highly unusual dreams the other night, none of which were especially linked to one another. Up first […]
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? What am I proud of about my cultural heritage? I guess, to answer that, I’d first need a clear understanding of just what my personal cultural heritage is. Fortunately, my digging into my ancestry has helped reveal a deeper picture of […]
We are midway through an October that’s already been quite eventful! What has been happening? Changes As you may recall from a previous Muse, the assistant manager where I work recently resigned, to go to new pastures. We are now getting a replacement, who, on the basis of first impressions, seems like a really friendly […]
As I welcome you to this latest Muse, I have to reflect upon how summer is now more behind us than ahead of us. The kids are heading back to school, and the regular routine is back. Welcome to September. Shattered Glass I mean that quite literally. When I got to work a couple of […]
Wow. This time last year, my family and I were in Menorca. The weather there was usually above 30C every day. Even here in the UK, we had a few occasions where the weather touched 40C in August, and it was generally quite hot all summer long. Flash-forward to this latest Meerkat Muse, and things […]
Welcome one and all, to the Meerkat Muse! Irritating Inclement Weather What does a Brit talk about a lot? The weather. Usually, we moan about the weather, and that’s where this Muse begins. You see, the last few days of July, traditionally a warm month, proved themselves to be horrifically damp. Granted, I am pleased […]
We are into July, the month that traditionally sees summer kick off in earnest. Will that actually pan out though?! Anyway, on with the Muse. Lines of Responsibility Last month (well, actually, at the end of May, or arguably early May) I made a small error with an order. The customer wanted a wall-hung vanity […]
We approach July, and the halfway point of 2023, with some interesting political news… Johnson can get Stuffed Back on the 15th, the Privileges Committee’s report into whether or not Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over Partygate finally hit the public domain. Given Johnson had resigned as an MP the week before […]
What are you passionate about? If we’re talking casual interests, I can write you a fairly long list. I could go on. Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Lion King, Liverpool Football Club… these are all subjects of great personal interest to me. In most respects, these have been lifelong interests too. I know where my […]
Why is it so many people have no sense of expediency or urgency when it comes to buses?!
How do you know a Tory Party MP is lying? Their lips are moving. #ToryChaos

The Meery Christmas Calendar’s ninth day is going to make you hungry! The Christmas Dinner is one of Christmas Day’s great traditions, and a lot of planning goes into executing a wonderful occasion. Everyone’s idea of this is a little different, but there some elements that filter across virtually every Christmas-celebrating UK household, and I […]
