It is with great pride that I represent the tiny (and fictional) nation of Meerkovia in the Blogger Games. The venue is the beautiful land of the Captain’s Speech, famous for its broccoli smoothies and rocks shaped like goats. For the opening week, Paul, the benevolent dictator of the Captain’s Speech, has set a quiz. […]
It’s recovery time. It’s been just over two weeks since I got my first Covid jab, and for a short time afterward I felt quite fatigued, though that may have been due to the cold I came down with the day before the jab. Whether through a cold, the vaccine, or both, I’ve felt generally […]
Welcome to May! The fifth month of the year – and slowly but surely we are creeping out of lockdown and back to a vague semblance of normality – whatever that is. It’s also time for the latest Meerkat Muse! Dates! It’s a rare occasion when my wife and I get to spend the day […]
Welcome one and all to the latest Meerkat Muse! What’s been happening to this meerkat these past couple of weeks? Well, I’ve continued to rejoice at the return of Formula 1, football has continued to provide frustrations (more on that below), we’re up and running at work, we’ve had family time, and the weather couldn’t […]
It’s a minor thing, but I’ve now put together nearly 68,000 words of my Warlord story. I’ve developed a few new Formula 1 pages (including updates to driver profiles, a new section on circuits and an expanded F1 Explained section). Of course, in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had the time to do any of […]
Should that be the art of cooking, or maybe the cooking of art? No, not that last one. That might be seen as bad (and it won’t taste pleasant). I’ve been continuing to doodle, and during this lockdown I’ve dabbled at cookery too. Admittedly the chief extent of my cooking has been to chuck random […]
It was 12.12 pm when I finally got into Asda!
I’m currently in the process of queuing for Asda. The time is 11.38am as I type. Let’s see what it is when I finally get in.
It was supposed to be a normal school party, with the students preparing their farewells as they embarked upon new chapters of their lives, be it a course set for university or thrusting themselves into the working world. So why was it that he found himself hanging from a girder over a river of liquid […]
These are eggs. They are wonderfully versatile. You can fry them, boil them, poach them, scramble them, turn them into omlettes, use them to make cakes and use them to make glazes and sauces. Great things, eggs. Of course, to cook with them there is first one key detail – they need to be real […]
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.
Let me reiterate, this post is not suitable for work! However, it is perhaps not for the reasons you think (or hope!). I am no prude. I am a man of the world, and familiar with activities of an, um, personal nature. Let it also be said that if people wish to educate themselves about […]
