Had a good day chanting today.
However sad news about a chanting friend who is now in a hospice.
I loved chanting when we did it on the retreat, we do a little bit in yoga too. I hope your friend has a peaceful time of it and they get her medication right.
As for the washing machine saga....I remember one of the managers at our student accommodation in Oxford coming into our flat. We were washing clothes in the bath.
"There are washing machines" she said.
"They cost money" we said.
She had a complete lack of empathy!

Glad the paperwork is pretty much done. Sat here trying to think when I last went to a wedding and I think it was my brother's which was about 15 years ago and before that I'm sure it was our own! I'd be really looking forward to going especially as there's no gift to think about and you've already got your outfit sorted xx 1
