I’ve been demonstrating and helping out with the undergrad practicals this semester. It’s only two weeks in and I’m exhausted! I haven’t done any of my own work and am definitely falling behind. Tonight I sat down (at 9:30pm) to do some marking, and realised I’d left everything at work. So that was useless. Feeling a bit run down! But just thinking of the (good) money that will come to me at the end of it. Short term pain, as they say. Might as well make me earn it!
Einsloth… By S.Watercolour.

Doza is all ready for Winter (only a couple months late, as a sloth should be) with his cute new green cardigan!
Watch this documentary by biologist Nick Baker on finding a wild three-toed pygmy sloth in the mangroves of Panama. Whilst two-toed and three-toed sloths are fairly abundant in the wild, pygmy sloths (about 40% the size of a normal three-toed sloth) are critically endangered. Only around 100 remain in the wild.
Skip to 39 minutes in for the finding of the pygmy sloth.
I went out with some fabulous friends last night; we had delicious gourmet pizza with a bottle of sav blanc, followed by a bottle of sparkling pinot noir at a cocktail lounge, followed by Midoris and beer at a pub playing a bunch of nineties music. It was such a good time! Great way to finish the week off. I love surrounding myself with people who are amazing company and in turn want my company as well. It’s a wonderful feeling!
This morning, however… it took a while for me to drag myself from under the covers, into the shower, and then I didn’t want to leave the hot shower, and then I took ages getting dressed and having breakfast, and now I’m posting at midday and haven’t even done anything yet. Oh dear. 
Brady is Moe’s doting dad. A pale, quiet three-toed sloth, he spends his days fussing over Moe’s wellbeing and generally being a little bit OTT. Single fathers tend to behave like that sometimes. Moe doesn’t mind, he loves his dad and learning all about the sloth life, like how to climb trees properly and forage for food! Brady is a loveable sloth who would look after any sloth that came knocking. If you think he would be a good fit in your family, you can find him here!
The name Brady comes from the genus Bradypus, and family Bradypodidae, of which three-toed sloths are the only members.
