Well my boss gets back this week. And I’ve actually got some experiments planned. So I’ll have to show my face a bit more now, after having at least a day off a week for the last three weeks. It’s been good to have some recharging time; I’ve slothed it a little bit, getting some things done in terms of chores and writing, but mostly just taking it easy. The boy’s been a bit jealous. (Sorry honey!)

Criminal sloths
I’ve been binge-watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix. It’s sooo good! Need to slow down though (and that’s not meant to be a sloth pun) because I’m going to run out of episodes soon, and there’s nothing else in my line-up!
What you do
CAN’T HANDLE
So, I know I’ve been SUPER SLACK with the blog this last month Just say it, I was being very SLOTHFUL. A lot, and yet not a lot, has happened!
Now that I’m getting towards the end of my PhD, I’ve been spending days at home here and there writing my thesis and making adjustments to it. I had my third journal article accepted (woot!) and so that basically completes my thesis by publication. Just putting it all together and getting it edited, etc. When I do go into the lab it isn’t for very long days anymore, although I am still doing a little lab work.
The boy and I also booked a tropical holiday for when I finish, in just over a month! Can’t wait! After that… well stay tuned 😉
To make up for my severe sloppiness in posts this month, here’s an adorable lil babeh sloth (Chuck, again, how CUTE is he..!?) from Primatography to keep you all happy.

Sarah and Duck and Penguins and Sloths
Browsing through Stan last night, came across this show called “Sarah and Duck“. So, obviously, had to watch it. Selected one of the episodes at random, titled “Sarah, Duck and the Penguins“. In this episode, Sarah’s googling activities to do, and she and Duck decide to dress up as a zookeeper and a penguin respectively and go to the zoo.
And then they arrive at the zoo, and there’s a sloth! And Sarah’s standing next to it! If you look closely you can see it’s even pictured on the zoo map sign.
I love moments like this.

Got asked to supervise an undergrad test today. It was pretty weird! I haven’t sat an exam in a few years, but it was weird to be on the other side of it.
I had a look at the test as well. Don’t think I’d be able to do it. I think all that stuff exited my brain a long time ago.
