Laurel, Hardy and billy are in the living room. Billy likes to spend time with them it looks like. Whiskey is in the den, next to me, in the kitchen.

The Gyuto monks are singing their tantric chants, throat music, very guttural anyway and ancient. These are said to be sacred secret chants.

Very soothing.

The day looks like it is turning very hot.

I am split in two today: getting sangria or being sober only.

It is such a nice habit this summery sangria with juice and frozen berries! And it is the week end after all....
