Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! The End of an Era The other week my wife and I completed our watch of the 2019 edition of Masterchef Australia, which brought with it the end of the judging careers of Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston (at least for now). I was sad to see […]
Greetings ‘kats, I hope you have been behaving, for the Eye is watching. It’s always watching. Let’s kick-start this Muse with some exciting news! The Awakening I was contacted by my publisher the other day. My book is next in line to go through the next stage of editing, and once this is complete we’ll […]
… for the first Captain’s Quiz of 2022! The theme for this latest fun challenge is ‘new’. There are 10 questions, plus some bonus questions. For the rules, please see the link to Paul’s site above. 1. In the first High School Musical movie, Troy and Gabriella sing a song called, “Start of Something New”. What are three […]
I gotta say, this is getting weird… Describe yourself as a tree. I don’t quite know where to begin. A tree?! Well… I’m gonna go with an oak tree. An old oak tree. An old oak tree that’s been weathered by time, and an old oak tree that thrives in summer.
Welcome back to the weird and wonderful world of the Meerkat Muse! Covid comes Home Back on the 14th my daughter felt a bit unwell, so my wife did a test and sure enough, she tested positive for covid. As per the rules she had to remain off school and my wife and I had […]
It’s back! Time for the first Muse of 2022! Let’s dive right in shall we? Work The period between Christmas and New Year’s was pretty quiet, and this didn’t come as a complete surprise, as people had plans and those plans didn’t involve bathroom shopping. We coped easily with the (lack) of customers, even when […]
Here we go. It’s a new year and a fresh start. We continue to have to deal with the covid-19 pandemic, and challenges will continue to push us throughout the year. Nonetheless we have crossed the threshold of feeling weary at the end of a long year, to refreshed at the start of a new […]
Let’s kick this Muse off with a little dash of outrage. Kids I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly harsh here, but when you have two small children (one of which is a baby, and the other is only just walking), do you think it’s wise to leave them in a buggy whilst you go […]
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 […]
It’s that time again! Let us digest the events of the last couple of weeks. Tories hate the Poor Yeah, I’m being blunt here, but why wouldn’t I? It’s the truth. They recently announced plans to raise National Insurance, something that will affect the poor a lot more than it will affect the wealthy. They […]
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...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
