It goes to show that you don't have to always face the same way as the rest of the flock. It's okay to go the other way.<br /><br />(Are a group of penguins a 'flock'? I have no idea what the correct collective noun is.)Fairlie - www.feetonforeignlands.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145612102935177016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-73140002156896101882011-12-21T23:10:09.011+00:002011-12-21T23:10:09.011+00:00I agree with Rachel and Mac`n Janet.

I found the first year strange and felt quite unsettled, but the second year is, so far, more productive and much more fun.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-44780164373884483492011-12-21T22:46:33.661+00:002011-12-21T22:46:33.661+00:00You haven't got into the groove with this reti...You haven't got into the groove with this retirement thing yet; wait and see. One day you'll find yourself used to doing things one at a time and rather slowly, and wondering how on earth you managed before.

I can't help feeling that he'll be bullied or at least feel very alone and out of sync and, from what I remember from Frozen Planet, penguins are very communal creatures. Sigh...<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling very festive and are even a bit gloomy. It's strange and not really very fair as your Advent posts have made me feel very festive...sort of eased me into Christmas early.<br /><br />I hope that, despite it all, you have a wonderful Christmas and that the New Year brings lots of good things to you and your family.<br /><br />Lesley xxLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197039686417212109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-85845362530058083542011-12-21T07:28:02.909+00:002011-12-21T07:28:02.909+00:00Antarctica doesn't have trees.
