You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I might have already done a similar prompt, and lord knows I’ve waffled about trains before, but to answer the question: I’d choose the train for any form of cross-country trip. Why? Because it’s the most relaxing and most scenic form of travel […]
Where would you go on a shopping spree? What would make me most happy to splurge my money on? A good question, and not one with an automatic answer. I am tempted to say ‘good food’, but then, there are so many options that I’d tie myself in knots deciding! So, we’ll rule out food […]
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? Can we include fictional characters? I’d love to be a Jedi for a day. It would make a lot of things very easy. Need to carry a load of heavy tiles? No problem. Need to prod a customer into buying? […]
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. Hahahahaha. I am not DIY-inclined. The best I’ve managed is to put some wallpaper up, and to build a few wardrobes. I am not particularly skilled when it comes to that sort of thing, and I dread to think what might happen if I were […]

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. This is easy. For the very first birthday that I shared with my wife, she bought me tickets to see The Lion King musical in London. I didn’t discover this until the day itself, for we had booked a hotel for Saturday evening in London, and […]
Write about your approach to budgeting. So, in the past, and especially prior to becoming a parent, it’s fair to say I had an inconsistent attitude to budgeting. I was never wildly reckless with my money, but I wasn’t as savvy with it as I could have been. At one stage, I had a fair […]
I keep finding myself utterly unable to write, like I want to, I am trying to find blog post inspiration, but I just can't.

Hey @X, can you tell me why my Twitter feed keeps defaulting to a hard-to-read appearance, despite my logged site preferences?
What topics do you like to discuss? I like to discuss a lot of things. I’ve been blogging at Meerkat Musings for nearly ten years, and I’ve been active on the web for even longer. In that time, I have found engaging in – and enjoying, to various degrees – discussions about football, Formula 1, […]
