I went for my walk. I walked down to the local cemetary. There's a spin out. I went into the section with the family vaults. They were like out of a movie. They were these brick buildings about three portaloos wide. They had columns and marble fronts. Some had gates where all the grave things were behind. Others had big vault like doors and the body was put inside. There were huge amounts of them. There were narrow streets with vaults on either side lined up like mini inner-city terrace houses.

I saw one vault that was being built still and no one owned it, so I stepped inside to have a look. It was strange. They had big, think concrete shelves to put the coffins on, and pipes, in each shelf, which I can only guess is for drainage. Body juice drainage pehaps. It was very interesting. It was weird to think that it would one day be full of dead bodies. Not spooky though.

Anyway. It was very interesting. I recommend a trip to the cemetary vaults one day for a bit of interest.

I didn't get much planned on the sermon though.

I talked to Matt when I got back and that was really helpful. Now I have a lot more to say.
