Pumpkin stew

I love the narrators voice, descriptive enough that I can start to visualise but not enough to keep me awake wondering what will happen next

Works nicely

I couldn't tell you the full story because I always fall asleep somewhere in the middle. Her voice and tone are nice, and listening to this distracts me from thinking about annoying things that keep me up at night.

Totally stressed me out!

1. Why did she not do grocery shop on her way home?
2. How are last nights dishes still unwashed? After they were washed when were they put away to make room for the next dishes?
3. How is one garlic bread stick enough for six?
4. Her sweater was taken off & yet she was happy the dinner didn't splash it! Seems to have forgotten she wasn't wearing it!
5. Why did no one clear the table after the meal?
6. How could she & Liam go to bed without cleaning up?
7. Oh yeah why was the stew served into open bowls before the guests even arrived & how was it not luke warm or cold before they ate it?
8. Why did she not preheat the oven the minute she got back from the shop? And why didn't she leave it on low before needing it for dessert?
9. How did neither of the brothers have partners or even one kid?
10. Dried herbs? Would need fresh too, also veg stew would need beans or something more protein based added (they've have all needed supper later after their tiny bit of garlic bread!)
11. Did no one actually drink wine? If yes who brought it?
12. When did she stock up on ice cream?
13. Why was Liam so grateful - it wasn't his family!
14. Why did Liam do sweet eff all to help?
15. Why did Liam need a full hair wash?
16. How are they the most baggage free family on the planet? No drama what so ever, come on!
Am wide awake now, grrrr!

Dreadful

Anxiety inducing. Exhausted at end of week and having to cook a meal for visitors not arriving until 8pm and unprepared. Irritatingly read

I Found Myself Not Listening Not Falling Asleep

I get the concept of this podcast but instead of feeling sleepy, I found myself listening to the story despite how boring it was. The voice was soft and well boring as I guess it was meant to be so it could work for others - I am in no way saying don't get this but just that it didn't work for me as I can stick out the worst of reading books haha.
