I like what you do by recycling old containers ♻️✅
Davidoff had some of the best instant coffee—taste and smell-wise.
I've heard wonderful things about Davidoff, but I'm such a coffee snob that I'll be happy to take everyone's word for it 😆
That book that you're reading sounds interesting. I'm clearing space on my agenda to take on some good reading too:)
Im not surprised you've heard good things about them, Davidoff's are kinda popular among netizens, or so I've seen on amazon reviews.
Happy reading! What are you planning to read, by the way?
I'm not a big reader because I get distracted easily, but someone gave me this book yesterday, called Violeta by Isabel Allende. It's based on Violeta, born in 1920, and her hundred-year lifespan.
It sounds pretty interesting and I'm eager to read it...However, I don't realise that I have a little ADHD, until I pick up a book to read. Then, so many things that I want to do keep popping up in my mind.🙃
Ah, I am familiar with the distractions! They haunt me too. I try to minimize them by reading the book from the text and listening to the audiobook at the same time, two senses occupied, so I don't get derailed easily. It works for me. 😀
I haven't heard of the book before. Would be quite interesting to see world war 2, the civil rights movement, and other historical events through her eyes as personal recollections.

The "listen" function on PeakD is heaven-sent. I do that to help keep me focused.
Yes, I am intrigued to read about that part of her history too:)
Oh, on listening to the post, I've been using Edge browser's default read-aloud function for a while. It has amazingly natural voices from microsoft's repertoire. Works on any website. Or even PDFs, if you open them with edge.
Peakd one is good but i think they are using some open source voices, and these can feel robotic at times. Try edge sometimes and see how you like it.

Yes, it's bloody robotic. I've been trying to figure out how to change the voice. On my MacBook, it's a robotic man, and on my Android mobile, it's a lady's voice with a weird tone and accent 😆.
Listening is smooth and continuous from my Safari browser, but from Chrome, there are some odd pauses and missing some words when I listen on PeakD.
Thanks, I'll see what I can find.
Uh-oh, I guess you won't have MS edge on a macbook.
There's a site with quite a natural text-to-speech egnine, its a demo version, so free, but the downside is you have copy paste the text you want to listen to. This may become tedious at times, I know.
