Where would you go on a shopping spree? What would make me most happy to splurge my money on? A good question, and not one with an automatic answer. I am tempted to say ‘good food’, but then, there are so many options that I’d tie myself in knots deciding! So, we’ll rule out food […]
Back in March, my entire site produced an error message that I did not understand in the least. The site was inaccessible, and I couldn’t even get into the admin pages to correct it. How did I fix this? Well, technically, I didn’t. I turned to my technical guru, my man with the plan, my […]
Well now, here comes a distinctly double-edged sword. Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr etc) has enabled millions of us to have our own little pockets of the web, tuned to our wants and needs (sometimes scarily so). These little ‘bubbles’ can be shared with family and friends, who might in turn share their bubbles […]
Um, I don’t quite know how to even approach this. By definition, writing about what I don’t remember is… tricky. I don’t remember my first steps. I don’t remember much about my time at infant school or junior school. I have pockets of memories, including one from a playgroup near home, an image of being […]
The most obviously successful industry trend, over the course of the last couple of decades, is the smartphone. It can be argued that Blackberry is where smartphones began, but they truly became popular and mainstream with the iPhone. The first iPhone was launched by Apple on the 29th June 2007, and it did away with […]
For me, it would be £s rather than $s, but the principle is the same. If I were suddenly a millionaire, what would I do? I’d put some money (say, £250k) into my daughter’s savings account, because future-proofing her finances can never be a bad thing. I’d sink between £20k and £30k into doing up […]
So, here we are, with the opening Muse of 2023. What has the New Year offered us so far? Icky Let’s rewind a little bit, to the conclusion of 2022. That year ended in a similar vein to how it began, namely, with covid-19 running amok through the household. In January 22, my wife, daughter […]
Our world is fragile, and human activities are threatening the survival not only of ourselves, but every living thing. We have a responsibility to the generations to come, and to ourselves, to make sure we preserve this unique world. My inspiration for this post comes from a project I’ve gotten involved in. It’s nothing too […]
It’s Muse time! Let’s kick off with a scary story… Back to School Inspired by discussion of new school uniforms for my daughter, I had a dream about being back at school, getting ready in the morning, and about having, *gulp*, PE lessons. I was scrambling to find my PE uniform (particularly the shorts), and […]
Welcome back ‘kats, to the latest edition of your favourite show, the Meerkat Muse! We kick things off with a topic that’s been in the news a lot… The Platinum Jubilee On the 2nd of June, Queen Elizabeth II marked her Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years as the UK’s monarch. Her reign officially began on […]
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. […]
