And the frustrating thing was having other’s around (unavoidable) who couldn’t stop taking. Talk about nails across the chalkboard.

Sorry that’s kind of snide.

Although I truly love a lot of quiet time, I thoroughly enjoy listening to a beautifully narrated audio book. I just listened to Jane Eyre read by Juliet Stevenson while I did work around the house. It was a delight. And I was amazed at how much of the story of Wuthering Heights I had forgotten over the years when I listened to that. I have always loved reading a book, but I have also always loved being read to.

Are you absolutely sick of hearing how much I like your “Best Homemade Bread?” Because I cook for two, I have now taken to halving the recipe, and it turns out very well – a small, lovely boule. My favorite breakfast right now is an egg boiled to medium (set white, soft yolk) with a piece of your bread toasted and spread with salted butter and elderflower and orange marmalade (available at IKEA).

It really brought a lot of things to light for me. She gave a great TED talk too http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.html

I have nothing more to say at this time.
