Here we go again! Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s kick things off with a peculiar dream, because why not? Irish Adventures I’ve never been to Ireland. I wouldn’t mind doing so one day, but so far, the opportunity hasn’t arisen. In my dream I went to Northern Ireland, a region noted for a […]
It’s hard to believe that Doctor Who has reached 60 years. The show became infamous for terrifying monsters and sinister stories over the course of its original run, but it declined in the 80s, with the BBC cancelling the series, leaving the titular Time Lord hanging. A TV movie briefly restored the Doctor to our […]
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! November is here, which means shorter days and colder nights. Before we get to that, what of the end of October? A Nocturnal Trilogy I had a sequence of highly unusual dreams the other night, none of which were especially linked to one another. Up first […]
For the second day running, you can thank William, of the Warthog Report, for a prompt! This time the question is ‘favourite time travel story’, but what – or when (heh) – is the answer? It is tempting to reach for the low-hanging fruit of Doctor Who. Time travel is a defining element of the […]
This is question posed by William, of the Warthog Report (yes, this meerkat found himself a warthog acquaintance, a Pumba to my Timon, or a William to my Ben, if preferred). William has inspired two consecutive prompts, this being the first: What are some rereleases and remakes of works you like that deeply bother you? […]
This is a ‘self-made’ prompt, as it were. I made it myself! I was thinking about how the kids of today find the childhood programs of my era to be weird. The cartoons of the 80s and 90s certainly have some unique qualities, but then again, to me, the cartoons of today’s era have some […]
There are two mythical creatures that I’d like to see real, though one in particular is quite dangerous (at least, in the vast majority of portrayals, it’s dangerous). So, the pic is of Death from the latest Puss in Boots film, but to me, the pic makes for a great representation of the werewolf. They […]
So, I will present two scenarios. One of them true, and one of them isn’t. I will leave it to you, the reader, to determine which of these stores is a lie!
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 […]
We have arrived at the end of another year. Last year brought highs and lows, and 2022 has been no different. There’s been turmoil, and stress, and sadness, and laughter, and love. Early 2022 brought with it the unpleasant experience of covid-19. The illness ripped through my household, and left us all feeling tired and […]
'Ah, at last, I can finally go home!'
I just visited Warmwell - Boathouse. This is what I thought: #feeditback
This has been an... eventful train ride. Well, less eventful, more long.
We peel back the door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar… and today, it’s decorations! Now, I would say I have something of a love/hate relationship with decorations. I love to look at them. The streamers, the lights, the tree, in their colours of gold, green, red, purple, blue, and more… they are gorgeous to […]
