I admire your ability to focus on an ebook while still paying attention to another activity. It’s mostly been comfort reads for me too, when I’m able to sit. The Liaden compilations and other short works, like James Herriot’s, are perfect for short bursts. It will be fun to have a story in Bread Alone.

If I actually have to pay attention, I mostly can't. But most gardening is essentially brainless, and knitting when it's long stretches of stockinette is even more brainless. So as long as I'm doing socks (my current projects), it's easy, except when I'm turning the heel. I just stop the book for that period.
And yes, we're both quite tired of the appointments. OTOH, I'm more grateful than I can say that I'm living here rather than in the US. She'd have lost the leg months ago.
I'm quite looking forward to
Bread Along -- all of their bread/baker stories have been excellent and I find myself always wanting to know more about Don Eyr and the others.

FWIW, Jon, that's the first time I've actually liked your avatar!
Here, it's getting harder and harder to walk the dog. He's getting really old and doesn't want to go up the hill from our house, and if he goes downhill, I'd end up having to carry him home. He's a bit too large for that, I fear. Plus, of course, it's the WET COAST with a vengeance here -- we're in the middle of our 6th or 7th "atmospheric river" and already >200% of "normal" rainfall for October + November. I'm really. Really. REALLY tired of it.
