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 […]
The first half of November has been eventful, to put it mildly. A lot has happened, and some of it unfolded during the previous Muse cycle, but I couldn’t really talk about it then. Now that I can, you can bet that I have a lot to say. ‘Nature’s Way of Dealing with People’ If […]
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 […]
We are midway through an October that’s already been quite eventful! What has been happening? Changes As you may recall from a previous Muse, the assistant manager where I work recently resigned, to go to new pastures. We are now getting a replacement, who, on the basis of first impressions, seems like a really friendly […]
Autumn is truly upon us. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. October is normally when things start to take a colder turn, but then, UK weather is increasingly unpredictable, so who knows? Lonely Times Work has delivered more lone-trading occasions, and will bring more in the coming weeks. This isn’t a huge, insurmountable problem for me […]
Welcome back one and all, to the Meerkat Muse, on this autumn morn. Record Highs September is often the month where temperatures in the UK begin to trail off. The days get shorter, the nights therefore get longer, and the weather begins to change. However, in the UK, temps of 30C or higher were recorded […]
Friends, meerkats, all of you, lend me your ears, it’s Meerkat Muse time! Work it… Work it Real Good No, I am not shaking my booty or gyrating my ass, or thrusting my hips. I am quite literally referring to work. Circumstances have been quite tough of late, due to a colleague being off long-term […]
We are into July, the month that traditionally sees summer kick off in earnest. Will that actually pan out though?! Anyway, on with the Muse. Lines of Responsibility Last month (well, actually, at the end of May, or arguably early May) I made a small error with an order. The customer wanted a wall-hung vanity […]
We approach July, and the halfway point of 2023, with some interesting political news… Johnson can get Stuffed Back on the 15th, the Privileges Committee’s report into whether or not Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over Partygate finally hit the public domain. Given Johnson had resigned as an MP the week before […]
The Weather Let’s get this over and done with shall we (and I mean that in more ways than one). The weather can best be described as ‘erratic’. Over the Easter Weekend there was a lot of rain, but also bursts of bright blue sky, and the sunshine this meerkat craves. The sun’s light 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 […]
