Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

**Hi friends, hopefully the last of these updates and reposts. I am clearing up nicely. I’m getting started on a new series of recordings over the weekend and a fresh episode will drop next week.

Thanks for the patience, sleep well.

Dave**

In this episode the long boring recitation of many of the Italian masters of painting will help you fall asleep.

It’s actually quite interesting stuff, just fairly dry, especially the way I red it! 😊

Sleep well!

**Hi Friends, it’s me again. Turns out Swine Flu is quite bad, zero stars, do not recommend.

I’m actually mostly fine, I just have a stubborn cough which means my breathing is struggling and my throat is sore most of the time.

Obviously, this makes recording impossible, but I’m hoping that in the course of the next week I can start again and get some fresh snoozy stories out to you all.

Thanks very much for your patience, I’m very grateful.

Chat soon

As you settle down to sleep get prepared for the boring details of the activity of the sun, how it was believed in the 1920s how sunspots were formed, the mechanism of how the sun works, and also learn about he inner planets. Even Vulcan, which for a while was speculated to exist closer to the sun than Mercury!

Hi friends. As I said, last week a nasty bug has done the rounds in my family and eventually got me.

Turns out he bug was swine flu, so I did get fairly lucky but I do still have a rough voice. So I’m continuing my short break, I will start recording for the new year soon

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, see you in the new year.

Hi friends. A nasty bug has been doing the rounds in my family and hit me just as it was leaving, so I don’t have the voice to be doing any recording. I’m taking this as a sign from the universe and taking a short break, so I will drop some fun readings from this year to enjoy over the holidays.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, see you in the new year.

Dave

In this week’s bedtime story, Beth’s illness continues so this reading we follow Amy’s trials staying with Aunt March. The Aunt is s nice lady, although old fashioned and Amy is unhappy. But she finds an ally in the maid.

And back home, mother gets back from visiting father and everyone is glad to see her, although Jo is shocked to find that her parents are happy with a young man’s interest in Meg. But I’m sure you will be well asleep before the excitement.

Hi Friends. Apologies, I've been so busy with work the last few weeks I've been struggling to keep up with recording. Last week was a struggle and this week was just nothappening, but I don't want to leave you sleepless. Here's something from earlier this year.

 In this strange story we pick up with the Duchess and the Empress building worlds with their minds. They then move on to traveling as spirits to our own world.

 I’m fairly sure you’ll be asleep before the strange adventure ends with a court case about Fortune’s treatment of the Dutchess’s husband

I don’t know why I dropped this book over a year ago, maybe it was all the French names? So apologies in advance about the pronunciations as you get ready for sleep and we pick up learning about significant French women who were composers in the 19th century.

We then move on to the USA and learn of the many notable female composers there.
