Antarctica Day 5

We were jolted awake at 6.30am by the dulcet tones of Mario over the PA welcoming us to the day. Jesus fucking Christ, Mario! A bit of warning would have been nice! We’d set an alarm for 7.30, I’d gotten up for a wee at about quarter past six all smug that we still had over an hour to snooze in our outlandishly comfortable beds. He was only waking us up to tell us how awful the weather was too,…

Have you ever visited The Deep in Kingston upon Hull? This fantastic aquarium is an international player in marine conservation, working on pioneering research schemes to protect the future of our oceans!

It is home to magnificent sharks, turtles, penguins and the UK's only green sawfish. The dramatic building, which overlooks the Humber estuary, was designed by world-class architects, Sir Terry Farrell and Partners in, what was then, one of the most deprived and unfashionable cities in England. The Deep is now the most commercially successful Millennium Project.

Saturday Surprise -- Sphen & Magic! -- A Purposeful Reprise

Saturday Surprise — Sphen & Magic! — A Purposeful Reprise

I first wrote this story back in October 2018, and have since written an update (link at bottom).  I felt a need to reprise it today in light of the fact that a similar story about another penguin couple, Roy & Silo, written into a children’s book in 2015, has been banned in Florida.  As you will see, it is a wonderful story, a heartwarming story, but apparently some feel threatened by inclusion,…
