Oh Hai
Hawthorn Won the AFL Grand Final
I was going for the Dockers, but congratulations to the happy Hawks!
Sloths are too slow for footy, but you can always connect them to everything and anything:
From William Shakespeare’s “King Lear”:
“False of heart, light of ear, bloody of hand—hog in sloth, fox in stealth, wolf in greediness, dog in madness, lion in prey. Let not the creaking of shoes nor the rustling of silks betray thy poor heart to woman. Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lenders’ books, and defy the foul fiend. Still through the hawthorn blows the cold wind, says, “Suum, mun, nonny.” Dauphin my boy, my boy, cessez. Let him trot by.”
Wet, Windy, Wild, Slothy Day
Tropical Destinations

Grandmother Sloth
This week my Grandma celebrated her 76th birthday. To honour her, I sat down and read this book: “Grandmother Sloth; How She Got Her Smile”, available to buy on Amazon.com.
Grandmother looked up with a pleasant expression and told JJ and Maria a story about an ancient time when sloths were fast and had no smile.

Also, I wish I had this to top ALL my desserts with:
