One year since the best experience of my life

I can’t believe today is one entire year since the best experience of my life to date: meeting, petting and feeding the only sloths in Australia, at Adelaide Zoo. I got to interact with Al G (top), and Miss C (bottom), the oldest sloth in the world. Sadly, Al G passed away earlier this year after contracting an infection, and as such, personal visits like this are no longer allowed at the Zoo. So I was particularly fortunate to be able to have this experience when I did.

Ironically, I was looking after my little cousins this morning, and had to drop them off at the zoo at 11am for a visit with friends. Ahh memories. One day I may get to experience the joy again of being able to interact with these amazing creatures. alg missc

Soccer SLOTHOOOOOO!!!!!

Last night Australia beat South Korea 2-1 to win the final of the Asian Cup. It’s the Socceroos’ first major win. Although I made an exception for this match, I don’t really get into soccer… as much as I love slow sloths, soccer just doesn’t do it for me in the pace stakes. Still, I did scout out these shirts from Spread Shirt , which handily also come in green or gold so you can support Australia in their next endeavour! sloth soccer shirt

Had to Walk the City-to-Bay “Fun” Run cus I’m such a Sloth

I walked 12km today. It was tough, and now I’m quite sore! The City-to-Bay was on and no I didn’t run it but as my friend was giving away a walking entry I decided to give it a go.

Did it in 2 hours too, which wasn’t bad I thought. Not sloth-like at all!

I hate running. A lot. And I never want to get “good” at it because it would mean putting myself through hell just to be able to do it, and why would I want to do something that makes me feel so much absolute shite!?exercisesloth

 

Conference Sloth

I’m in Sydney for a 3 day conference at Manly. The hotel is right on the beach and it’s beautiful weather here; almost makes you want to skip a day full of seminars! Doza has been helping me with some trans-state work before bedtime.

Movies that would have been better with Sloths

Went to the cinema tonight to see a preview screening of “The Little Death“, Josh Lawson’s new film. Go see it! Brilliant! Weird. But brilliant!

If only there were more sloths in movies these days. Seriously, aren’t they popular enough yet? The only movies I’ve seen sloths in are The Croods and Life of Pi. If there are any more please let me know! It looks like there are some out there who have the same idea as me…Sloth-Movie-Posters-9 Sloths-film-posters

‘Straya Day Mate

Yesterday (Sunday) was Australia Day, which means that today (Monday) is a public holiday. We took a drive up into the Adelaide Hills for a gorgeous slothy lunch. Yesterday was filled with BBQ, friends, drinks, cricket, tennis, Triple J and more BBQ and drinks. sloth-selfie3
