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 […]
For the second day running, you can thank William, of the Warthog Report, for a prompt! This time the question is ‘favourite time travel story’, but what – or when (heh) – is the answer? It is tempting to reach for the low-hanging fruit of Doctor Who. Time travel is a defining element of the […]
This is question posed by William, of the Warthog Report (yes, this meerkat found himself a warthog acquaintance, a Pumba to my Timon, or a William to my Ben, if preferred). William has inspired two consecutive prompts, this being the first: What are some rereleases and remakes of works you like that deeply bother you? […]
My wife and I have been watching the Mission: Impossible films lately, and thus, I have felt somewhat inspired to explore this particular idea. What would happen if IMF agent Ethan Hunt was pitted against British spy James Bond? I suppose much of this depends on the scenario, and on which Bond. Let’s say we […]
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 […]
It’s finally here! The Super Mario Bros Movie has been 30 years in the making. There is a legacy of redemption here, after the 1993 movie deterred Nintendo from using their products for TV and movies for decades. After such a lengthy wait, my eagerness for this new film could not be overstated. There was […]
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. This is easy. For the very first birthday that I shared with my wife, she bought me tickets to see The Lion King musical in London. I didn’t discover this until the day itself, for we had booked a hotel for Saturday evening in London, and […]
I’d been considering writing reviews of some individual Marvel movies lately, but with the conclusion of Phase Four of their cinematic universe, and the start of Phase Five, I figured I’d wrap my thoughts up on the journey so far in one post. Lest I end up on the receiving end of any given crowd, […]
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 […]
'Ah, at last, I can finally go home!'
I just visited Warmwell - Boathouse. This is what I thought: #feeditback
This has been an... eventful train ride. Well, less eventful, more long.
We peel back the door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar… and today, it’s decorations! Now, I would say I have something of a love/hate relationship with decorations. I love to look at them. The streamers, the lights, the tree, in their colours of gold, green, red, purple, blue, and more… they are gorgeous to […]
