Bubbles – are you saying I might be pregnant??

And there I was skiing!

That would be why I put on so much weight over Christmas…

Always the possibility I suppose!

Kalahari,you won't find any penguins in Cyprus at all.You've got to go down to Antarctica to see those penguins.

Aidan.

I saw those lovely little penguins (cannot remember the name, anyone help please?) when we were on holiday in Oz and in Tenerife they have a man made enclosure that houses penguins.
So funny to see it 'snow' when it is about 25 degrees outside and you are standing there in your vests and shorts!! The penguins enjoy it though. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Just found this about the little penguins referred to above:

Little Penguins

The fairy penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest penguin species and is found only in southern Australia and New Zealand. Fairy penguins weigh approximately 1 kilogram and stand 30 cm high. Their dense waterproof plumage is dark blue on the upper parts of the body and white on the underside. The single Australian subspecies is distinguished from the five New Zealand subspecies by having a margin of white feathers on the tail and on the rear edge of each flipper.

Fairy penguins live on average for 7 years, and some retain the same mate for life. A clutch of two white eggs is laid in spring. Male and female birds share the 36-day period of egg incubation. When the chicks hatch they are initially helpless and are brooded continuously for about 2-3 weeks. After this period both adults leave the chicks unguarded in the nest during the day, while they forage at sea to obtain food for the rapidly growing chicks. By 8 weeks of age the chicks have lost their down and acquired the waterproof plumage necessary for independent life at sea. These young birds are not seen again at their original colonies for at least a year and may disperse widely during this period
