The Meerkat Muse – 3/11/21

November. Wow. We move into an important month for me, and we creep closer to the end of 2021. The weather has certainly turned for the worse. Let’s kick off this Muse with a creepy, unsettling dream… The Intruder Technically this could have made the previous Muse, except I had this dream on Tuesday night […]

The Meerkat Muse – 20/10/21

We are moving into cooler times and the onset of autumn. Will peace descend across the valley? I do know that after a hectic flash sale weekend, work has quietened down, and may remain fairly quiet (at least until the Black Friday weekend), because as much as I hate to use the word in October, […]

The Meerkat Muse – 6/10/21

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. Welcome to autumn and welcome to October. We are now into Halloween month! I dare say this is my daughter’s favourite time of year, even more so than Christmas. I have an idea for a costume, one that will hopefully top our experience during […]

Somehow the good people of the Department for Education forgot that. I have no problem […]

The Meerkat Muse – 2/6/21

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 […]

The Meerkat Muse – 19/5/21

Here we go again… it’s Meerkat Muse time! There’s extra reason to celebrate – on the 20th I finally get my first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine! I’m fortunate – I have the Friday off work, so if the vaccine floors me, I’ll have the chance to recover. I’m gonna be getting the Pfizer vaccine, […]

Epic Rant Time

The UK has one of the highest number of deaths from Covid-19 of any country on earth (7th), as a direct result of Tory incompetence. Billions have been spaffed up the wall on Track and Trace systems that have taken forever to actually work (and Tory cronyism has seen the mates of Tory ministers get […]
