A black and white bird arrived this morning with a parcel in it's beak. I'll try and keep my mitts of it until Easter.
Sadly, I've been nowhere near as organised, but the necessary elements are together now and I'm booking a slot with the postal penguin for first thing tomorrow.

One of the pleasures of last Sunday's sermon was the references to pop music, and realising that I was too young to know what the preacher was talking about.

My neighbour greeted Darllenwr with a box from Hotel Chocolat which turned out to be a pack of strawberry and cream egglets from my Paschal Penguin. I look forward to enjoying them!

The Paschal Penguin has delivered at my house - lots of chocklit, plus a sweet egg cosy (containing a chocklit egg) with an expression reminiscent of "Chicken Run"!
And a sweet little pottery Easter Bunny!
Thank you Paschal Penguin!

My apologies for what will be a late arrival, but the penguin has finally been deployed in a westerly direction.

There were black and white feathers around the mailbox today, and an envelope from foreign parts inside. I have no idea how the penguin got it in there.
I will wait to open it, just to build the anticipation.

I'm relatively new to the Ship, having arrived to participate in the Death Pool. But on another board we do have a Secret Santa, and I like the idea of the Penguin. I'll try to keep an eye out for it next year, but if someone remembers and gives me a heads up that would be great. I'm in the US, in Kansas.

I love my peace turtle!
I have received from a Canadian penguin of exquisite taste. I am delighted with my posh maple leaf choccies (of which there are four left), and my euroscrubby (which shall be put to work on the garage door and the garden gates, which are green but should not be).
And I have a peace turtle!
I did not even know I needed a peace turtle until I got one, and now am wondering how I ever existed without one.
Thank you, Canadian Penguin. You are an Emperor among Birds.

Oh my, WRAPPED (in season-appropriate printed paper that will be photographed for the computer's wallpaper)!
And inside were - Card with calligraphy
- Lindt Easter Bugs
- Easter-Egg stickers, to be preserved for the grandchildren next year
Motherboard's present didn't arrive before Easter, so I shared my cold with her instead. That means I get all the Easter Bugs to myself.
Edited - I FORGOT the Tea Towel. Motherboard made off with it, to press it, charmed by the print in spite of the cold that kept her in bed this morning.
Thank you, British P.P.

Just found the parcel when I got in today. Brilliantly elegant china coaster with blue celtic type pattern and some extremely welcome chocolates one of which is in the form of a remarkably fetching sheep. Many thanks Pascal Penguin!!

The penguin has landed! I have a small penguin, some very posh sea salt and caramel chocolate eggs, and a bar of chocolate from the Museum of Science, which I am going to try to save to share with my favourite scientist.
Thank you!

One slightly late report of opened penguin package. It was books .
Two detective stories, by authors I haven't tried yet. Had a quick dip into one and it looks very promising, with an unusual telegram, a revolver in a taxi, and chaos being caused by a butterfly net, all in the first few pages! Many thanks, o penguin.

My apologies, especially to my PP, for not reporting back since my parcel arrived - I have been unexpectedly and unavoidably out of range of the interwebs!
Thank you so much PP for my parcel - some yummy Hazelnut and Sea Salt chocolate, sweet little soap, and a Lewis Chessman pencil top, atop a pencil Thank you also for the card and good wishes. All much appreciated and enjoyed.

A very wet-footed penguin hopped through the snow to drop off a box from the UK. Lemon-ginger-pepper dark chocolate, plain dark chocolate, a GeoBar and a bag of apricot kernels, dropped into my lap. (After I carefully removed the popcorn bullets) Nibbled at and put away until Next Week when I return from my little trip across the snowy wasteland.

My tummy is full of American chocolate (the good kind!) and my face is full of smiles at the most amazing gift imaginable. Dear wonderful paschal penguin person, what care and love has gone into my beautifully crafted gifts. I can't quite stop smiling A hand-painted picture of a penguin and a set of prayer beads inscribed with the names of the hosts and admins of the Ship (including a certain Smudgie, which made me smile even more, and our dear friend Erin)
I am thoroughly blessed by your love and generosity. Thank you.

I sent off my contribution before Easter, but there seems to be no note of its arrival. Was the penguin using satnav? I'd hate to think of it going round in circles in a ploughed field.

Mea culpa. I received my package but forgot to leave my thanks here. The coloring journal and celtic design coaster are lovely. The journal is wonderful for a thanks journal.
Double mea culpa. I finally sent my pressie so I hope the recipient will forgive me and enjoy a belated treat.

Thank you, Paschal Penguin!
