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 […]
Welcome to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! Facebook Fails We begin with the events of two weeks ago, when the world briefly melted down due to an outage of Meta’s various social media platforms. I wish I could say that I was immune to this, but my initial reaction was I’d been hacked, […]
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 […]
What are you most proud of in your life? Without a shadow of a doubt, I am most proud of my daughter. From the moment I witnessed her arrive into this world, all the way through to now, she has made me proud, every single day. I know this is an unbearably sappy answer, but […]
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 […]
We’re the other side of Christmas, and it is fair to say I am exhausted, but before we get to that, shall we go back to two weeks ago? Inclement Weather Rain was the chief order of the day, two weeks ago. I had to make a couple of journeys, and got soaked as a […]
We are halfway to Christmas, and approaching the end of 2023! However, before we reminisce, what do we make of December’s opening bow? Before I can answer that, I need to take you back to a couple of Wednesdays ago, and a change… Bins go Bonkers I am all for recycling. I think it’s a […]
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 […]
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...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education.
