New burial chambers

Josh. Me and him singing along to some music which we were listening to. Some people from other countries playing the music. He has confidence to make jokes to them and talk in funny accents.

I'm in the countryside around coed.

I am flying above the landscape, or seeing a map. Tom has told me where these new burial chambers are, with these ancient remains of settlements.

I scan the landscape for them and see them clearly in the fields. Bumps and circles. I am particularly noticing how they align up to specific directions. One burial chamber is in direct north South alignment with a long house chamber. I know it must be because of the mid winter sun.

I go down onto the land to check it out. By a community center I meet this black lady who is disabled. She asks me if I'm any good at massage. I say I can give it a go. So I give her some cushions to get comfortable and she sits down and I work on her shoulders.

She has great trouble with her legs and hands. They never formed properly so they are stunted in growth. She can't walk. She shows me how she had to have this special treatment on her fingers to make them bigger so that they would be more useful. It involved wearing rings that would expand them.
