A Little Bit of Xmas Fun…
A little ray of light on an otherwise miserable day. The elves went and tied up Timon!

It occurs to me that in a matter of days, it will have been two years since I left my job selling bathrooms and started my new career selling sofas. That time has been marked with stress, frustration, aggravation and yet, rewarding achievements and a sense that sometimes, pig-headed determination and a refusal to give […]
So Mrs Meerkat (do I carry on the meerkat theme? It is Meerkat Musings, after all) made toad in the hole earlier. If you’re wondering what that is, it’s sausages in batter – similar to pancake batter, but also what’s known as Yorkshire Pudding – which isn’t a dessert, and… Anyway, the gist of it […]
Today daddy meerkat, mummy meerkat and little meerkat went on an epic adventure! We enjoyed a visit to the British Museum, taking in various sights from various epochs of history. Daughter dearest wanted to see everything, which meant we were being dragged swiftly from one exhibit to another, however I was determined to take at […]
Let it said that my daughter marches to the beat of her own drum. For Halloween she declared she wanted to go as a chicken. Because daddy would be going with her, daddy was required to go as a chicken as well. Last night she was very excited. To her, Halloween is a bit like […]
I’m guessing my latest peculiar nocturnal imagery was inspired by the recent exploration of senior schools that I mentioned in this post. This particular dream might be better described as a nightmare though. Hold on to your hats people. It revolved mostly around swimming lessons (I love swimming but despised the lessons at school) and […]
It seems surreal that, whilst she is only nine, the time has come to start looking at senior schools for my little girl. She isn’t due to start senior school till she’s 11, but the process to evaluate her next school has already started. My wife and I looked at a school last week and […]
The 10th was an odd day. It started early, as in a 7am arrival at work to assist with changeover (we wrap, lift and rack old sofa ranges then put out the new models), saw me allowed to leave early to prepare for a meeting on the 11th, which in turn led me to a […]
As something a little different, my wife and I got tattoos today for our anniversary. Mine… Well, mine taps into an obvious passion of mine!
On this day ten years ago, I was preparing for one of the biggest days of my life. I’d head into town, get a professional wet shave, get myself suited and booted, and head to Church. For this day ten years ago, I married my soul mate. I’ve driven her mad and at times I’m […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
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 […]
