Welcome to the.
Slow Life.

2
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:09,080
I'm Jennifer Vino and I.
Create, narrate and.

3
00:00:09,090 --> 00:00:13,420
Design the soundscape.
Of this village of cozy stories

4
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:15,840
to.
Relax and unwind.

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,290
Each week.
I share an original.

6
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:23,510
Story read 2 times so.
You can relax.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,030
Even more during.
The second reading.

8
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:32,960
I also create.
Micro experiences inspired by

9
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:37,090
the stories you hear.
These are short.

10
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:40,920
Gentle reading moments designed.
To help you.

11
00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:45,790
Slow down and rest in the
village for as long as you like.

12
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:52,220
They're available now to enjoy
on screen or on paper,

13
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:55,520
individually or in small
bundles.

14
00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:59,540
Through the slow life dot.
CA under.

15
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:05,560
The shop tab.
Let's settle in with some easy

16
00:01:05,570 --> 00:01:07,220
breathing.
At your own.

17
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:10,920
Pace.
With each inhale, let.

18
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:14,420
Fresh air fill the space.
Around your heart.

19
00:01:15,970 --> 00:01:21,860
With each exhale, feel the calm
air spread through your body and

20
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:27,930
flow out through your.
Arms and legs gently in.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,730
Through your heart.
Gently out through your body, in

22
00:01:36,790 --> 00:01:42,480
through your heart, out through
your body.

23
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:52,610
And now let's begin.
This story is called.

24
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:57,550
Deciding to paint the sunroom
and it's about choosing a.

25
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,610
Colour for the walls.
Moving freely through the aisles

26
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:05,350
and being.
Satisfied with what's?

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,240
To come.
The light comes in to the

28
00:02:11,250 --> 00:02:14,380
sunroom gently this morning,
not.

29
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:16,540
Too bright.
But enough.

30
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:20,690
To reach the coroners, it
spills.

31
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:24,100
Between the rungs of the rocking
chair and.

32
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:27,030
Through the glass top table
beside it.

33
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:31,180
I look around the.
Way I usually.

34
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:33,760
Do noticing what's.
Here.

35
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:41,510
Today I notice a little more The
windows need a light cleaning.

36
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:46,080
There's a faint gathering of
dust along the edge of the

37
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:48,740
sills.
The rug is.

38
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:52,140
Slightly off centre.
Pushed that way.

39
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:58,710
By feet passing through and
kittens playing tag, then my

40
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,780
eyes.
Drift to the walls.

41
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:03,810
They've been this.
Colour for as.

42
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:09,050
Long as I can remember a kind of
brown that leans warm in the

43
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:12,610
evening but can feel dull in the
morning light.

44
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:18,620
It doesn't reflect much.
The sunlight touches it and

45
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:22,210
seems to stop.
I see a.

46
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:24,390
Scuff.
Near the baseboard.

47
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,040
A faint mark from when I moved
the chair a few months ago.

48
00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:35,510
There are more as I turn my head
Marks I've simply stopped seeing

49
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,820
until now, several signs of use.
Pop up.

50
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:44,780
Nothing major, but enough to
change how I.

51
00:03:44,790 --> 00:03:46,240
Feel about the.
Room.

52
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:52,790
When I pay attention, I take a
sip of my tea and keep looking.

53
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:59,280
I think about how much time I
spend here, especially in the

54
00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:02,330
mornings.
I said I.

55
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:04,240
Read.
I watched.

56
00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:08,740
The birds, It feels like a space
that should hold.

57
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:14,700
More light than it does now, I
start to imagine the room in a

58
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:20,050
different colour, something
softer, something that doesn't

59
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:23,590
absorb the morning.
But reflects it back.

60
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,820
To me, yellow comes to mind
without much effort.

61
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:31,760
Not.
A bright, sharp.

62
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:35,990
Yellow put an uplifting shade.
That feels like.

63
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,430
Sunlight.
Already.

64
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240
Settled into the walls
themselves.

65
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,030
I picture what it would do.
To the room making the corners.

66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,810
Feel less heavy?
The windows more open than they

67
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:55,520
already are.
I look again at the walls,

68
00:04:55,630 --> 00:05:01,640
trying to see them that way.
At this point, I know myself

69
00:05:01,650 --> 00:05:04,590
well enough to know.
The idea will.

70
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Stay.
I set my cup down and stand,

71
00:05:09,730 --> 00:05:15,320
walking slowly around the room.
There isn't much here that needs

72
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:18,760
to be moved.
None of the furniture is.

73
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:21,440
Heavy.
The small table can.

74
00:05:21,450 --> 00:05:25,950
Be carried easily.
A narrow shelf along the far.

75
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,770
Wall holds a few.
Plants and a.

76
00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:30,850
Stack of folded.
Blankets.

77
00:05:32,490 --> 00:05:36,780
I ran my hand lightly along the
wall near the window.

78
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:39,280
The surface.
Is smooth.

79
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:42,580
But the colour?
Feels flat under my fingers.

80
00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:48,110
As though it's ready.
For something to change, I

81
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,510
finish my tea and rinse the cup
in the kitchen.

82
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,130
As I predicted, the thought
stays.

83
00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:57,730
With me as I move.
Through the house.

84
00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:02,360
Opening a window, straightening
a cushion on the.

85
00:06:02,370 --> 00:06:07,680
Chesterfield.
By midmorning, I give myself

86
00:06:07,690 --> 00:06:11,880
permission to stop pretending
and admit to myself.

87
00:06:11,930 --> 00:06:16,900
That I've already.
Decided to paint I take some.

88
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:20,020
Pictures.
Of the sunroom to have with me

89
00:06:20,090 --> 00:06:26,390
in case I want another opinion.
With a smile, I gather my things

90
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,410
and head to.
The hardware store.

91
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,730
The drive is familiar and I
think about the last time I

92
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:39,170
bought paint.
For a project, it was for the.

93
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:42,890
Garden shed in the backyard.
It was a.

94
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,810
Deeper weathered blue.
Than and I remember how

95
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:49,370
different it.
Felt after I covered.

96
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:53,470
It in a clean cyan.
That stayed bright.

97
00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:58,980
Even on overcast days.
This store is quiet.

98
00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:01,660
Enough that I move.
Freely through.

99
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:04,660
The aisles.
I head toward.

100
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:07,770
The paint section where?
Rows of colour.

101
00:07:07,780 --> 00:07:12,190
Swatches line the walls in neat,
even columns.

102
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:17,300
I stand here for a moment,
taking it in.

103
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:23,930
There are more shades than I.
Expect yellows that lean.

104
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:27,470
Toward cream, others almost
golden.

105
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:33,250
Some are soft and pale.
Barely there while others are

106
00:07:33,260 --> 00:07:36,610
stronger.
Holding more colour than I want.

107
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:43,210
For this project I reach for a.
Few and gather them in my hand.

108
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:48,840
Buttercream mist.
Soft lemon glow.

109
00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:55,220
Morning honey.
I hold them up one at a time,

110
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,010
trying to picture them in the
sunroom.

111
00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:00,850
I think about.
The way the.

112
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,370
Light.
Moves across the.

113
00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:05,520
Walls in the morning.
How it rests.

114
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:10,480
There in the afternoon.
I want something that will.

115
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:16,270
Hold that light.
Without becoming too bright, I

116
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,440
move along the display, adding a
few more to my collection.

117
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,220
Pale Marigold, golden haze, sun
kissed linen.

118
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,090
I take them to a nearby.
Space.

119
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:38,539
Where I can stand aside, I look
at them again, shifting them in

120
00:08:38,549 --> 00:08:42,669
my hand, placing one in front.
Of the other.

121
00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:48,070
Some feel too strong now that I
see them together.

122
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,130
Others almost disappear.
Too much.

123
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,130
I narrow it down more quickly
than I expect.

124
00:08:58,220 --> 00:09:03,750
Soft lemon glow stays.
Sun kissed linen stays.

125
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,290
Buttercream mist stays.
I hold these.

126
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,700
Three and let.
The others go.

127
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:14,770
Sliding them back.
Into their places.

128
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,460
There's a small sample board
nearby a plain.

129
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:23,380
Surface where I can place the
swatches.

130
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:25,780
And see them.
More clearly together.

131
00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:30,170
I lay them down.
Side by side.

132
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,440
The difference between them is
subtle.

133
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:38,850
But it's there.
Soft lemon glow has a gentle

134
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:41,580
warmth to it.
Like the first.

135
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:47,970
Light of the day, Sun kissed
linen feels more neutral, a

136
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:52,030
quiet balance between yellow and
something softer.

137
00:09:53,650 --> 00:09:56,580
Buttercream Mist.
Is the lightest.

138
00:09:56,790 --> 00:10:00,140
Almost like it could disappear
into the room.

139
00:10:00,210 --> 00:10:02,320
If the light.
Is strong enough to.

140
00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:06,740
Wash it out.
I think about the sun room

141
00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:09,090
again.
The chairs.

142
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:13,600
The small table, the floor.
The rug.

143
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,530
I think about how I want it to
feel when I sit there in the

144
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:24,630
morning.
Not bright, not dull, just light

145
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,130
enough.
I pick.

146
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:30,700
Up soft lemon glow and hold it
alone.

147
00:10:31,780 --> 00:10:39,120
This is the. 1 I keep it in my
hand and walk toward the counter

148
00:10:39,130 --> 00:10:43,770
where the paint can be mixed.
The process.

149
00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:47,590
Is simple, I choose a finish.
That will hold.

150
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,130
Up but not shine.
Too harshly, I watched as the.

151
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:57,450
Colour is measured and blended,
the machine humming.

152
00:10:57,460 --> 00:11:04,450
Quietly, as it does its work.
When I arrive home, I carry the

153
00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:09,140
paint in and set it just inside
the sunroom door.

154
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,430
Satisfied with what?
Sto.

155
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:20,290
Come deciding to paint the
sunroom.

156
00:11:23,980 --> 00:11:27,950
The light comes in to the
sunroom gently this morning,

157
00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:29,730
not.
Too bright.

158
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:31,710
But enough.
To reach the.

159
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Coroners.
It spills.

160
00:11:35,130 --> 00:11:38,530
Between the rungs of the rocking
chair and.

161
00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:41,460
Through the glass top table
beside it.

162
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:45,610
I look around the.
Way I usually.

163
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:48,190
Do noticing what's.
Here.

164
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:55,180
Today I notice a little more.
The windows need a light

165
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:58,480
cleaning.
There's a faint gathering of

166
00:11:58,490 --> 00:12:03,160
dust along the edge of the.
Sills the rug is.

167
00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:06,570
Slightly off centre.
Pushed that way.

168
00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:13,140
By feet passing through and
kittens playing tag, then my

169
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:15,210
eyes.
Drift to the walls.

170
00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:18,230
They've been this.
Colour for as.

171
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Long as I can remember a kind of
brown that leans warm in the

172
00:12:23,490 --> 00:12:27,040
evening but can feel dull in the
morning light.

173
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:33,050
It doesn't reflect much.
The sunlight touches it and

174
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:36,640
seems to stop.
I see a.

175
00:12:36,650 --> 00:12:38,820
Scuff.
Near the baseboard.

176
00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:43,470
A faint mark from when I moved
the chair a few months ago.

177
00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:49,940
There are more as I turn my head
Marks I've simply stopped seeing

178
00:12:49,950 --> 00:12:55,240
until now, several signs of use.
Pop up.

179
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:59,210
Nothing major, but enough to
change how I.

180
00:12:59,220 --> 00:13:02,040
Feel about the.
Room when I pay attention.

181
00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:06,600
I take.
A sip of my tea and keep

182
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:10,880
looking.
I think about how much time I

183
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:14,410
spend here, especially in the
mornings.

184
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:17,540
I said I.
Read.

185
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:19,520
I watched.
The birds.

186
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,070
It feels like a space that
should hold more light.

187
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,130
Than it does now.
I start to imagine the room in a

188
00:13:29,140 --> 00:13:34,470
different colour, something
softer, something that doesn't

189
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,010
absorb the morning.
But reflects it back.

190
00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:42,710
To me, yellow comes to mind
without much.

191
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,890
Effort.
Not.

192
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:49,350
A bright, sharp.
Yellow, but an uplifting shade.

193
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,260
That feels like.
Sunlight.

194
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,720
Already.
Settled into the walls

195
00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:58,520
themselves.
I picture what it would do to

196
00:13:58,530 --> 00:14:01,460
the room.
Making the corners.

197
00:14:01,470 --> 00:14:05,220
Feel less heavy?
The windows more open than they

198
00:14:05,230 --> 00:14:09,950
already are.
I look again at the walls,

199
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:16,070
trying to see them that way.
At this point, I know myself

200
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,020
well enough to know.
The idea will.

201
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:23,790
Stay.
I set my cup down and stand,

202
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,750
walking slowly around the room.
There isn't much here that needs

203
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,190
to be moved.
None of the furniture is.

204
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,860
Heavy.
The small table can.

205
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:40,380
Be carried easily.
A narrow shelf along the far.

206
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:43,200
Wall holds a few.
Plants and a.

207
00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:45,280
Stack of folded.
Blankets.

208
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,210
I ran my hand lightly along the
wall near the window.

209
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,710
The surface.
Is smooth.

210
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:57,010
But the colour?
Feels flat under my fingers.

211
00:14:57,820 --> 00:15:02,540
As though it's ready.
For something to change, I

212
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:05,940
finish my tea and rinse the cup
in the kitchen.

213
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,550
As I predicted, the thought
stays.

214
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,160
With me as I move.
Through the house.

215
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,790
Opening a window, straightening
a cushion on the.

216
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:22,110
Chesterfield.
By midmorning, I give myself

217
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,310
permission to stop pretending
and admit to myself.

218
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,330
That I've already.
Decided to paint I take some.

219
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:34,450
Pictures.
Of the sunroom to have with me

220
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,820
in case I want another opinion.
With a smile, I gather my things

221
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:42,840
and head.
To the hardware store.

222
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:49,160
The drive is familiar and I
think about the last time I

223
00:15:49,170 --> 00:15:53,600
bought paint.
For a project, it was for the.

224
00:15:53,610 --> 00:15:57,180
Garden shed in the backyard it
was.

225
00:15:57,190 --> 00:16:01,240
A deeper weathered.
Blue than and I remember how

226
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:03,800
different it.
Felt after I covered.

227
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:07,900
It in a clean cyan.
That stayed bright.

228
00:16:07,970 --> 00:16:13,410
Even on overcast days.
This store is quiet.

229
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:16,090
Enough that I move.
Freely through.

230
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,090
The aisles.
I head toward.

231
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:23,080
The paint section.
Where rows of colour swatches.

232
00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:26,610
Line the walls in neat, even
columns.

233
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,730
I stand here for a moment,
taking it in.

234
00:16:33,730 --> 00:16:38,360
There are more shades than I.
Expect yellows that lean.

235
00:16:38,370 --> 00:16:41,890
Toward cream, others almost
golden.

236
00:16:42,730 --> 00:16:47,680
Some are soft and pale.
Barely there while others are

237
00:16:47,690 --> 00:16:51,040
stronger.
Holding more colour than I want.

238
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:57,640
For this project I reach for a.
Few and gather them in my hand.

239
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:03,270
Buttercream mist.
Soft lemon glow.

240
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,650
Morning honey.
I hold them up one at a time,

241
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:12,440
trying to picture them in the
sunroom.

242
00:17:13,609 --> 00:17:15,280
I think about.
The way the.

243
00:17:15,290 --> 00:17:16,800
Light.
Moves across the.

244
00:17:16,810 --> 00:17:19,950
Walls in the morning.
How it rests.

245
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,920
There in the afternoon.
I want something that will.

246
00:17:24,930 --> 00:17:30,710
Hold that light.
Without becoming too bright, I

247
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,860
move along the display, adding a
few more to my collection.

248
00:17:37,150 --> 00:17:42,650
Pale Marigold, golden haze, sun
kissed linen.

249
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:46,520
I take them to a nearby.
Space.

250
00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:52,980
Where I can stand aside, I look
at them again, shifting them in

251
00:17:52,990 --> 00:17:57,100
my hand, placing one in front.
Of the other.

252
00:17:58,450 --> 00:18:02,500
Some feel too strong now that I
see them together.

253
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:06,550
Others almost disappear.
Too much.

254
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:11,560
I narrow it down more quickly
than I expect.

255
00:18:12,650 --> 00:18:18,180
Soft lemon glow stays.
Sun kissed linen stays.

256
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:23,730
Buttercream mist stays.
I hold these.

257
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:26,130
Three and let.
The others go.

258
00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:29,200
Sliding them back.
Into their places.

259
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:34,890
There's a small sample board
nearby a plain.

260
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:37,800
Surface where I can place the
swatches.

261
00:18:37,810 --> 00:18:40,210
And see them.
More clearly together.

262
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:44,600
I lay them down.
Side by side.

263
00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:47,860
The difference between them is
subtle.

264
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:53,280
But it's there.
Soft lemon glow has a gentle

265
00:18:53,290 --> 00:18:56,010
warmth to it.
Like the first.

266
00:18:56,020 --> 00:19:00,980
Light of the day.
Sun kissed linen feels more

267
00:19:00,990 --> 00:19:06,460
neutral, a quiet balance between
yellow and something softer.

268
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,030
Buttercream mist is the
lightest.

269
00:19:11,220 --> 00:19:12,250
Almost.
Like it?

270
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:15,450
Could disappear into the room.
If the light.

271
00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:17,640
Is strong enough to.
Wash it out.

272
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:21,660
I think about the sun room
again.

273
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:26,670
The chairs.
The small table, the floor.

274
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,930
The rug.
I think about how I want it to

275
00:19:30,940 --> 00:19:33,580
feel when I sit there in the
morning.

276
00:19:35,010 --> 00:19:39,620
Not bright, not dull, just light
enough.

277
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,490
I pick.
Up soft lemon glow and hold it

278
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,200
alone.
This is.

279
00:19:47,210 --> 00:19:51,830
The one I keep it in my hand
and.

280
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,830
Walk toward.
The counter where the paint can

281
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,200
be mixed.
The process.

282
00:19:58,210 --> 00:20:02,020
Is simple, I choose a finish.
That will hold.

283
00:20:02,030 --> 00:20:08,170
Up, but not shine too harshly.
I watched as the colour.

284
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:11,890
Is measured and blended, the
machine humming.

285
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:18,860
Quietly, as it does its work.
When I arrive home, I carry the

286
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:23,570
paint in and set it just inside
the sunroom door.

287
00:20:24,730 --> 00:20:26,860
Satisfied with what?
Sto.

288
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:31,840
Come.
I wish you sweet.

289
00:20:31,850 --> 00:20:32,730
Dreams.
