Bedtime Story Conservatory 82 21/06/2020
Hello everyone,
Today, I was not going to send an email, I was not going to do anything today because I was going to try and give myself a nothing day, but inevitably, it has turned into a something day. Just like the last one, this email will not be long.
I bought this music box at Christmas from a charity shop, and ever since it has followed me around and stuck with me, I have shown it to a lot of people because I hold it dear. The music box is in the shape of a windmill, and it's propellers turn. I destroyed the propellers when I kicked the windmill accidentally, so have replaced them with a small post-it note.
It resonates warmth in some peculiar and beautiful way. Whenever I sit and I listen to it, it's lullaby calms me.
I have recorded the sound of the music box. I wound it all the way up and let it play in it's entirety. It plays for around 4 and a half minutes. It starts fast, wound all the way up to the top, and as it unwinds, the melody slows. I recommend listening to this with headphones.
I hope if maybe you are having trouble sleeping, as I am, then this may help. Or if you're brain is all tight, I hope that this maybe has the potential to remove the fork that's keeping all the brain-spaghetti wound up.

Lots of love, and warm wishes to you,
