Bedtime Story Conservatory 3 29/03/2020

Moi and hello to all of you!

This is the 3rd edition of Bedtime Story Conservatory, thank you again for being part of it. You are great, and I hope you and the people close to you are well and safe.

Today's reading is the first part of Roald Dahl's The Twits 1979. Roald Dahl was most famously a British children's writer and novelist.

The Twits is a short book following the story of a hilariously spiteful and wicked married couple.

I found this also on the Roald Dahl website, a pleasant image-

"In here, Roald placed an armchair that used to belong to his mother, an Anglepoise lamp carefully weighted with a golf-ball to shine at just the right angle and an old suitcase filled with logs to rest his feet on. Gradually the small table in the room was filled with strange and wonderful objects which held personal meaning for him – a model Hurricane plane, like those he had flown in World War Two; his own hipbone, removed during an operation; a fragment of ancient stone with Cuneiform script, picked up during his time in Babylon in 1940; a heavy metal ball, made from the silver wrappings of chocolate bars; an opal, sent to Roald by a boy in Australia as a present.

Every morning, he would take a flask of coffee up to the Hut. Once there, he had a regular routine to get himself into the mood for writing. He would sharpen six pencils, brush off the eraser markings from his homemade desk (a board with green felt propped up on a rolled of corrugated cardboard), pour himself some coffee and begin work."

As the file is quite large, I cannot send it through email, so here is a link to the MP3 in Google Drive-

Here is the folder I have made which contains the current and all previous readings-
