Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? Ah, the road not taken. I can remark upon numerous occasions where I wish I had done something differently. I dare say we can all relate to this. Everyone will have come to a fork in the […]
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. My immediate first thought when I read this prompt, was ‘I have no idea what I’m thinking’. I read this prompt soon after I woke up. My mind was caught in between conscious processes, and laboured, alarm-driven awakening. Consequently I was on autopilot until that […]
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
How has technology changed your job? Hmm. I don’t know if technology has changed my job to any significant degree since I’ve been doing it. When I first got into bathroom design back in 2015, I used a very specific set of design tools, and nearly nine years on from that first experience, I am […]
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? An interesting question. The covid-19 pandemic forced a lot of changes upon us all. There was a new routine, for a time, but with the end of pandemic measures, that routine has largely disappeared. Still, what did I do differently during that […]
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? I’d love the ability to be able to instantly relax, but I don’t think that’s a true skill! On the other hand, maybe the ability to detach one’s self from turbulence and unwind is a skill of sorts. I have a feeling the […]
There are a number of shows and movies that I have seen several times over. I have my ‘comfort’ shows, and I would happily watch any one of them, right now if I could. Star Trek: The Next Generation is where I ‘cut my teeth’ as far as sci-fi was concerned. I have re-watched numerous […]
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Do I even need to answer this one? I think we all know what I’ll say…
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Failure is part and parcel of life. We all make mistakes, we all fall down, we all do things we regret and are not proud of. However, not everyone responds to setbacks in the same way. I will stew over my mistakes […]
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.
Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. There is a question that’s recently been circulating around the web. It’s aimed at women, and the responses are quite telling. ‘Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man, or a bear?’ A lot of women are choosing the bear. The reason is simple […]
