Try to imagine what the world was like for those in 1899. The first ‘true’ car had appeared in 1886, but it bore little resemblance to today’s vehicles. Planes were a nice, imaginary concept. Horse and carriage, and possibly trains, were the chief means of conveying people from one place to another. Telephones were extraordinarily […]
Hmm. I briefly, sort of covered this in an If Meerkats Could… post, but I can re-examine the notion once more. The inherent risk with time travel, is that you might do something that makes the world considerably more dangerous, or that ruins the lives of the very people you want to help. History is […]
Here we go again! What is there to Muse about? A few things… Pan-Handling I have no idea why (beyond perhaps, the YouTube algorithm suggesting videos, that then seeped into my subconscious), but the other week, I had a dream about the Napoleonic War series Sharpe. The bulk of what I remember involves me, Sean […]
I was at work, doing my office-based 9-5 routine, aged just 19. It was another ordinary day, until my colleagues and I began to receive word of a terrible incident unfolding in New York. The news that day was chaotic and it seemed unreal and impossible. As the tragic events developed we all came to […]
We are well into August! Somehow, we have arrived at the heart of the British summer, but are we in one piece?! The answer is yes, more or less. The initial experience of the end of July/start of August was one of feeling tired, something I put down to the second covid jab. I didn’t […]
Greetings ‘kats! I may or may not turn this into a series of regular posts, but I’ve been inspired by a tweet to try something… If I Could… The premise is easy enough. What if I could do <insert idea here>? To begin, we’ll tackle the question posed by Ms Duane’s tweet… The trouble with […]
I began this post on the 2nd of November, the day before the pivotal US Presidential Election. At the beginning of this entry I am unaware of who would win, though hoping that America as a whole would vote blue, overwhelming Trump and his sheep with a tidal wave of votes. Will I be looking […]
“Does the good Senator Metellus wish to address these accusations before the Senate considers it’s next actions?” Asked Rufus. Caius, doing his level best to appear in control, stood. He smiled, trying his best to appear humoured by it all. “Good senators, what we have here is a desperate act on the part of desperate […]
“You will never triumph!” Caius screamed, swinging the burning torch at Nepos’ face. The younger man ducked and Caius kicked out, catching Nepos in the thigh. They both stumbled and fell, and Caius snarled, scrambling to rip the parchment from Nepos’ grip. Nepos tried to hold on but Caius slammed a fist down into his […]
The sun was now low in the sky, casting a red glow. The few clouds that moved slowly overhead looked strangely foreboding to Nepos as he looked out from the balcony over the training sands. He sighed, wondering (not for the first time) what the messy affair with Paulus would ultimately cost him. Had it […]
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...
