A loris - and a slow one at that

Are there any fast lorises? Wikipedia says that there are some non-slow ones: I'm not one of them though.

I'm eighteen weeks pregnant with twins, and I'm getting slower every day. I haven't gained much weight, but my goodness has my belly popped out.

As I write this, I am getting steadily colder. I turned off the heater because I should go outside to do some gardening. Minke the cat is sitting under the desk lamp, in her tiny cat-sauna, dreaming overheated cat dreams.

The garden really does need attention. The quince tree had codlin moth this year, and I need to clean up the skanky disappointing quince carcasses. I plan to try some messy home remedies to stop the moths.

Also I should harvest the pumpkins and clean up the vines, which will give some room to put in silver beet. I can't get enough green leafy stuff right now! Also sugar snap peas.

Now I'm inspired to get into the garden. Maybe the cat will come too if I turn off the lamp.
