Recordist's notes

Sunny weather. The cemetery is very carefully looked after. Sunday activity is cleaning the paths and watering the plants from one of many taps. The one or two unkempt graves with waist high weeds are so out of place that I found myself troubled and wondering why. What family or friendship history was implied? What had happened to keep them away?
