The above is my actual cat, Castiel, who in 2023 will turn 10 years old. He is also known as our ‘fuzzy wuzzy boo-boo, sometimes just fuzzy boo, and ‘oi cat!’ He is, for the most part, a good boy. He does not tend to cause us grief, or be destructive, and he is quite […]
There is no one who can make me run through the gamut of emotions quite like my wife. Love is a tapestry, and love is a promise, and love is pretty damn epic. She can stress me out if she is snappy or irritated with me. Not wanting to let her down can stress me […]
What’s up peeps? It’s time to return to the weird and whacky world of the Meerkat Muse! Let’s start with familiar territory. Dreams By now, my dreams are clearly the glue that binds these Muses together. I have had a couple of particularly interesting dreams lately. I’ll start with a very meta dream. So, I […]
This one is hard. I have enjoyed many meals over the span of my life, and choosing a favourite dish is going to be very difficult. A good burger (as in, perfect meat-to-bun ratio, the right amount of cheese and other toppings, sloppiness of it etc) is amazing, and I have been fortunate enough to […]
Picture the scene. You have new neighbours, and your parents have invited them round for a drink, in order to get to know them. You though, you have been out with friends, had a few drinks of your own, and let’s say that you’re a bit merry. You come home, still quite merry, and you […]
Stress is the word, and stress is the opening theme. Bedsheets Is it daft to get seriously stressed over placing bedsheets upon a heated, indoor clothes dryer? I find the whole ordeal to be seriously aggravating. The sheets, to me, are unwieldy, and I cannot figure out how to put them onto the dryer in […]
Ah, now, is this a sign of the prompt site being clever? There are quite a few anniversaries that are significant to me, but I am not going to name dates. You never know how people much use that information! Phishing considerations aside, what would I celebrate? What is of particular importance to me? There […]
For me, it would be £s rather than $s, but the principle is the same. If I were suddenly a millionaire, what would I do? I’d put some money (say, £250k) into my daughter’s savings account, because future-proofing her finances can never be a bad thing. I’d sink between £20k and £30k into doing up […]
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 […]
When you have a nearly-teenage daughter, you hear a lot of funny stuff. My daughter sent me a video the other day, and it is utterly strange, and perfect for this prompt: She also likes to suggest I like Sid the Sloth. I am a meerkat, dammit!
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. […]
