I have the athletics on the tv. I'm watching the tennis from Montreal and getting up to date on Gransnet and I am about to caste my eye over the newspaper.

Is it a woman thing or do men do it too from your experience ?

I am very similar to you - and then I wonder why I can't sleep at night. Brain Fog. grin

DH sits in front of the TV, headphones plumbed into the tablet he is engrossed in. Swears blind he knows what is happening on the telly. I'm not convinced.

Well tonight I did a mound of delicate hand washing for DDiL (and when I say a mound I mean a MOUNTAIN) , whilst cooking dinner and listening to the Archers and speaking to my sister in the phone (nagging me as per usual). Sometimes I could do with another pair of hands and ears.

I was watching the athletics too, while crocheting a dishcloth for my daughter, and looking for a recipe for hare stew on my tablet. I managed to find a recipe and finish the dishcloth. Then I went off into the kitchen to marinade the hare.
Here is a photo of the dishcloth which I posted on Facebook as my knit and natter friends were intrigued by the wash knit yarn.

I'm sort of watching tv, looking (and obviously posting) at on GN, sipping a glass of wine, stroking over Sprout, and doing my neck exercises, so that must be quintuple tasking, even perhaps sextuple, as I have a load of washing on too.

Does breathing count as well?

I often have a programme on TV whilst at the same time playing solitaire/scrabble/crossword on my phone. Except when there are subtitles and then I need all my brain.
