Welcome back one and all, to the Meerkat Muse, on this autumn morn. Record Highs September is often the month where temperatures in the UK begin to trail off. The days get shorter, the nights therefore get longer, and the weather begins to change. However, in the UK, temps of 30C or higher were recorded […]
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 […]
Lately, Tik Tok has been offering me food-related videos. Some of these are stir-fries, some revolve around steak, and still others involve deep-frying various foodstuffs. I won’t lie, some of these creations look absolutely beautiful to me. Layer after layer of cheese and ham, stacked high, then sandwiched in bread, and then deep-fried, produces a […]
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 […]
There is a notion I have read of that vegetarians and vegans like to lord it over people who eat meat. It is true that organisations like PETA infuriate me, but that’s by-and-by to the point of this post. Are vegetarians inclined to act superior to meat-eaters? I’m sure some do, but then again, you […]
List your top 5 favorite fruits.
So, here we are at the halfway point of 2023. Well, sort of. We’re halfway in terms of months, but not days. In a non-leap year, such as 2023, the halfway mark is actually the 2nd of July, so whether we’re actually halfway through depends upon how you are measuring the passage of time. Nonetheless, […]
Hungry yet? Jambalaya is a beautiful dish. I haven’t had it often, but I recall it being magnificent. The base ingredients for a good jambalaya tend to be onion, celery and green bell peppers, along with rice. Into that can go chicken, prawns, sausages and pork, along with okra, carrots chilis and garlic. The meat […]
There are several ingredients that lend themselves to a huge variety of meals. Tomatoes, potatoes, most meats and fish, and most fruits can be used in a variety of ways. Potatoes in particular have a wide range of uses. From being used to make vodka, to being boiled, mashed, roasted, and fried, potatoes have become […]
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 […]
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. […]
