Another year gone and left us in its wake. 2015 has been good to me – I got my PhD and started my first professional job, plus had a couple trips away and of course spent the year surrounded by family and friends.
On New Year’s Eve my degree was conferred and I was officially awarded the title of Doctor, so 2016 starts with a new title, new degree, and gainful employment!
Now that it’s New Year’s Day I can finally start using my new Sloths 2016 Calendar!! Up first in January is little Pumpkin!
Well, another year has left us in its wake. 2014 was a year of a lot of amazing things, including meeting sloths for the very first time (and hopefully not the last)! New Year’s Eve saw me go to a friend’s house for bubbly, BBQ, board games, and sparklers on the beach. Nothing over the top, just a bunch of laughter and good times with some wonderful friends. I hope all your evenings were special too.

Okay so it’s January now… How did that happen? The new bed is getting delivered tomorrow morning so today is going to be disassembling the old one, washing new sheets etc getting ready for that, now that the boy and I are actually up (it’s midday…still have to have a shower…).
I think the best thing about this first day of 2015 is that I get to start using my Hangin’ with Sloths calendar! I flipped it open last night before bed (well, it was already today after all) and this morning woke up to Velcro’s gorgeous face! 
Have a good 2015 everyone!
Go have a listen to this interview of Lucy Cooke on BBC Radio 4. Did you know that female sloths scream in at the pitch of D-sharp? You can follow Lucy on Twitter or at Slothville.com. 
The newest video from Lucy Cooke, Sloth Magic. Absolutely adorable.
Also my Hanging with Sloth 2015 calendar arrived today! Eep! So excited!!
Did you know that in Woolworths’ current Super Animal Cards promo that you might find a Super Sloth card??
It’s a sound card too! If someone comes across one I’d love to know what the sound that they chose is. I hope it’s one of these.

Lucy Cooke, author of A Little Book of Sloth and The Power of Sloth, wrote this awesome article for The Idler: http://idler.co.uk/article/lucy-cooke-on-the-amazing-sloth/
It wasn’t until the seventeenth century, after years of arguing, the Holy powers-that-be finally decided on its definitive top seven sins. And sloth snuggled in at number four…
It was thanks to celebrated French naturalist Georges Buffon that the moniker really stuck, when he became the first person to scientifically describe the sloth in 1749: ‘Slowness, habitual pain, and stupidity are the results of this strange and bungled conformation. These sloths are the lowest form of existence. One more defect would have made their lives impossible.’
It’s lucky the sloth is such an affable chap. And doesn’t read or speak French because, if he did, I’m sure that even he would struggle to swallow such slurs without a (very slow) fight.
Sloths sometimes have a hard time keeping track of the days… Make sure you keep on top of all those important tasks with this slothy wall calendar for next year! With the added bonus of seeing gorgeous sloth faces on your wall year-round.
Available on Amazon from Lucy Cooke, the creator of Slothville, Meet the Sloths, and A Little Book of Sloth. 
Animal Planet has started showing their “Meet the Sloths” series. As part of it, their website has a “NapCam“! Very slow but could watch them all day!
