Welcome to the first, much-belated round of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship. The venue for the first round begins and ends with A, but no, it’s not Australia, but instead it’s Austria. Interestingly the Red Bull Ring will host two consecutive races in as many weekends, but next week’s race won’t be called the […]
Last night I had patchy dreams, broken up by waking up a few times, including on one occasion because of one of the dreams. I’m not sure which dream unsettled me more – the work dream, or the apocalyptic dream. In theory a dream about a future overrun by humanity-hating AIs that can reanimate robots […]
… I’ll take a Corona… hold the virus. But in all seriousness, hands up if you truly believe this is a good thing. No takers? Not a single one? I can’t say I blame you. The decision to reopen pubs was always a bad idea at this stage. People + alcohol + pub = ignoring […]
The latest podcast is now live!
We’re watching Frozen 2, and as with the first film, it manages to tug at the heartstrings. People often underestimate kids movies, assuming them to be simple, devoid of depth, meaning and story. That simply isn’t true (certainly not of the best ones). A lot of kids films these days treat their audience with respect. […]
The other day I had a dream, ‘The Potter Rebellion‘. From that dream I span a podcast, talking about how the Potterverse would change if Harry decided ‘sod it, I don’t want to be a wizard’. From there, I stumbled upon an excellent post that spoke of whether we regret the path not taken. I […]
Their passion sated, Etruscilla lay her head down upon her husband’s chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. He was quiet, almost unnaturally so, as they enjoyed each other’s arms. “You are troubled my love.” Nepos nodded. “I am. I am… glad to have seen sense, but worried, deeply worried, about what the future […]
Cloaked by his hood and dressed in clean, upstanding clothes, no one gave Nimr a second glance. He looked nothing like the brave and fierce warrior that duelled on the sands, and he blended in with ease. The market stalls, the busy streets, the horses with their carts and the shopkeepers with their wares- not […]
Last night I had a dream that I was back at school, specifically in the Sixth Form, and I felt like I’d bitten off way more than I could chew in terms of subjects to study. I felt under extreme pressure, and eventually, I snapped – only when I snapped, I then found myself existing […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Suspicious Minds You may be wondering where I am going with this. Well, this relates to possible efforts to get into some of my accounts. Specifically, I had an email alerting me to someone who tried, and failed, to access my mobile phone account. Going back further, I’ve had sporadic emails alerting me to attempts […]
