A certain penguin has arrived carrying chocolate gin-soaked sloes in its beak (it tells me in the card, I didn't peek!). Will try and keep my mitts off them until Sunday week.
Said penguin will be sent waddling to the shops tomorrow.

Penguin currently twiddling flippers whilst I try to get things sorted out. (Not helped by being on a rather chaotic holiday for the last week...). Unlikely to be posting before next week. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

A Posh Penguin from Buckingham Palace left a parcel here today. A bag of eggs tied up with regal ribbon, fluffy bunnies, chicks and spring lambs. Thank you!
My considerably less posh penguin is on his way.

The parcel is posted, and I am told it will take 5-6 days. So it may be a wee bit late, but not too much so, I hope.

Penguin has delivered a package from foreign shores. Judging by the customs label the contents will be very acceptable. Will save until Sunday.

Two penguins dispatched from here today in opposite directions. The one Sandemaniac was loading up should get there pretty soon. The one I was loading may take a bit longer - more Pentecostal than Paschal. Sorry!

Thank you, thank you Paschal Penguin!
I have just opened my gift to find a Mini Smarties chicken and a Fill-your-own hen doorstop, with instructions to fill her with rice to make her heavy. It has Rosali embroidered on the bottom - I don't know if that is the name of the hen! What jolly fun.
Thank you indeed.

My lovely New Mexico penguin has sent me some chili pistachio chocolate, of which I have eaten two bites and am trying hard not to scoff all at once. Absolutely delicious.
And a bunny badge with an expression that I think could be described as 'weary cynicism'. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Many many thanks, Easter friend. xx

Smudgie Towers has been graced with not one but two deliveries from a very busy Paschal Penguin, one for Smudgie and one for the Smudgelet.
The Smudgelet would like his anonymous sender to know that, if he knew who they were, he would love them forever for sending his absolute favourite type of chocolate along with a really useful stationary set with his name on. (Amazing to find one with "Smudgelet" written on it!) He really appreciated both gifts.
When I finally found where I had hidden mine, I opened it excitedly and found it populated with rabbits. Harry Hopalong survived the shortest time - he met his demise during a particularly trying moment at work! The other two are sitting smiling enticingly at me.
I have got to mention an unofficial Paschal Penguin which I received from Yangtze on Saturday - not only a penguin gift but also the most perfect of Easter cards... a penguin with a decorated egg!

Miss you, Erin.

No sign of any happy feet here as yet - but then again, another pair of feet has only just started their inter-continental swim (with air floaties) - the penguin assured me that it was a very fast swimmer and looking forward to record speed!

There is now chocolate at The House of the Washing Machine. Soon, there will not be!
The box, however, with the incipit from the Iona Psalter's 97th Psalm, may just stay, as will the coaster.
Thanks you, penguinee!

I got to open mine on Easter day. The penguin bought me two magnetic photo frames, plus some weird green alien spaceships apparently stuck together with what I'd been coughing for the last week. Closer inspection showed them to be pistachio macaroons, which were really rather tasty (and I say that as someone who isn't a fan of that sort of thing - so the penguin chose very, very well!).
Thank you, oh wisely-choosing penguin!

I rather weary and foot sore PP made its way to my door carrying a heavy parcel all the way from the UK in its flippers: thank you PP for the knitted chicken with its own penguin inside, two bags of local sweets (the fruit jubes are packed with a real fruit punch), and a jar of England's Revenge, eerrr Marmite: feel like reciprocating with a jar of Aussie Vegemite, but I know you can buy that elixir over there! ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
