Back again

Well, that look longer than expected, simply because being an Omi obviously addles the brain. As you all know, Baby Johann arrived safely, everyone is fine, Horst celebrated his birthday on the same day, is also fine, and Omi forgot to update The Penguinet.

I'm sorry!

There's no excuse today though: things are hotting up in the UK election campaign and I know you will all want up to date info. So try

and click your way through to fascinating opinion poll results and much more.

And now you'll have to excuse me while I go back to be 100% Omi again:)

Just waiting

I know you are all going to understand that today my mind is on other things just now.
5.30am Borneo time tomorrow (Monday) Laura & Riko will leave the beach chalet and drive to KK where Laura will have her baby by Caesarian. Anya will be home on the beach with her Nenek (other Oma), Riko's Mum.
So, can't do much from here except keep calm and try and be normal - so it being Sunday, here we go!
I know lots of you enjoy the quizzes and tips on the BBC & with the British Council. Here's a similar site, also lots of quizzes and info.

So enjoy and WATCH THIS SPACE - I'll update as soon as I have some news.

Good afternoon to all of you Easter Bunnies.

It's been a funny sort of two weeks, spent a week in Yeovil flat on my back sleeping on my Mum's sofa with no voice whatsoever. Arrived back in time to have - first time ever - Handwerker in the house and wow what a good job they did with our living room. It is now so beautiful you are only allowed to peep at it from behind a perspex screen. Martina brushed cookie crumbs from her lap onto the new (red and yellow) carpet yesterday and I nearly killed her.

Anyway.

Many of you know of the solace and companionship I have always found with BBC Radio 4. But it's also fun to tune in to the world, and so why not give

a try. Here you can access live streaming of radio from all over the world, my personal favourites being Australia and boondock towns in the US. Makes you feel (a bit) like James Dean.

Happy Easter...
