Nice try, sunshine…
Left alone in the capable flippers of the short-notice babysitter (i.e. Grandma…) – while his parents brave the crowds of last-minute Christmas shoppers (please, humour me…) – this enterprising chick seizes his opportunity for a little seasonal wool-pulling, of the ‘over-the-eyes’ … Continue reading

Christmas party shame…
Ah, yes… The morning after the night before: Bernard hung his head and tried not to think about the thousands of photocopies of his penguin-y posterior that were, by now, bound to have reached every inch of the Antarctic (and probably … Continue reading

Take 10…
If preparations (or the mere thought of them if, like me, you are already woefully behind the curve when it comes to such seasonal pursuits as card-writing and present-buying…) for Christmas are all getting a little too much, this one’s … Continue reading

Frozen fakery…
Not so much as a single flake of the white stuff here in Staines to promote Christmassy feeling – much less build any sort of sculpture – but this chap is turning perennially snowy conditions at the pole (I hope … Continue reading

Playing with one’s food…
I imagine that there must be some sort of Brussels-sprout-equivalent amidst the penguins’ Christmas dinner – perhaps some particularly noxious-looking species of fish…? And, of course, the only use for such a maligned seasonal ingredient is some sort of precariously-towering food-sculpture (potentially a … Continue reading

A seasonal business…
With the proliferation of extraordinarily inventive and über-talented artists, illustrators, designers and crafts-people in modern society – making their wondrous wares available through a whole array of online (and otherwise – the local coffee-morning trestle-table stall is still very much a … Continue reading

No photo is immune…
In tribute to what has been decreed by persons unknown – OK, the folk at Collins (thems wot makes the dictionaries…) – as “Word of the Year” for 2014, today’s penguins celebratorily enact the mot du jour, “photobomb” (although, if you ask the … Continue reading

And…they’re off!!

Trees? In the Antarctic?
Ok, ok… I know there are no Norwegian spruces in the Antarctic, but I thought I’d air-drop one in for advent so those penguins have something to wrestle into festive shape in time for Christmas. This penguin seems to have had … Continue reading

Double doses…
Yikes. Four days in and I’ve already had my first Advent-blog-post-punctuality casualty… So here are yesterday’s and today’s in tandem: The temperature’s plummeted again here in the South East, and mum (staying for the briefest of visits this weekend) … Continue reading
