Let me preface this post with…. bugger! Bollocks! Argh! I’m not given to swearing a lot in these posts but…. arrrgh! I had put together a streak of 21 consecutive posts on Meerkat Musings, only to forget to post yesterday. The streak is broken, and I’m annoyed at myself. Anyway, moving on… What is your […]
Time for one of the most recent additions to the F1 scene – the Russian Grand Prix, held at Sochi. The venue is wrapped around the site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, and 2014 is also when the first F1 Grand Prix was held here. It looks like the 2022 race will be the […]
Firstly, let’s address the elephant in the room – where are rounds 12 and 13?! They’re not here because I did not enjoy either race. Belgium and the Netherlands feature two beautiful, historic tracks but I could not get to grips with either course, and finished well down the order in Belgium, whilst I retired […]
The prompt today is ‘Write something mysterious‘. This is a bit different. I enjoy writing (have I mentioned I should have a sci-fi book published later this year?), but something mysterious… Douglas shouted angrily at the kids as he chased them beyond the cemetery’s old iron fencing, and his anger turned cold as he realised […]
‘What book is next on your reading list?‘ I’ve nearly finished the third of the Expanse books, so next will be book four in the series, Cibola Burn. At some point I will resume watching the TV show (having only see the first few episodes), but for now I’m grinding my way through the novels.
The prompt this time around is ‘what is a superpower you’d love to have?‘ The answer to this changes like the wind. Had I recently watched a Star Wars movie I might say ‘Jedi’, assuming their abilities qualify as superpowers. The mind trick would come in handy in retail, and being able to levitate heavy […]
The Hungarian Grand Prix, held at the appropriately named Hungaroring near Budapest, has been a staple of the F1 scene since 1986, though the very first Grand Prix held in Hungary (prior to the formation of the F1 Championship) was back in 1936. The first race at the Hungaroring had the distinction of being the […]
Today the prompt is ‘what is a cause you’re passionate about and why?‘ You could say I’m quite passionate about equality. On the Coalition of the Brave site I’ve had many a heated discussion with a number of people on the subject of LGBT rights, feminism and racism. I do not hide my disdain for […]
I’m prepping a Meerkat Muse that will feature this, but let’s provide the news as it happens eh? On Friday my daughter complained of feeling unwell. She took a test and sure enough, she tested positive for covid. Initially the NHS app rather confusingly told me I had to isolate (even though I’m double-vaccinated and […]
Time to come home! It’s the British Grand Prix! Silverstone is the spiritual home of British motorsport, and 52 laps around this historic circuit awaited. Once the fastest track on the calendar, Silverstone has been amended on a number of occasions, changing the dynamic of the track, but several super-fast, challenging and rewarding sections of […]
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.
Let me reiterate, this post is not suitable for work! However, it is perhaps not for the reasons you think (or hope!). I am no prude. I am a man of the world, and familiar with activities of an, um, personal nature. Let it also be said that if people wish to educate themselves about […]
