Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

- Up earlyish, went to the Pickering
Methodist Church, a beautiful building - preacher
infatuated by histrionics though. Interesting to see
the Methodist tradition, and it's similarities to the
Anglican liturgy.
- Back to the center, and drove out to Newton
on Rawcliffe, tried to get a square meal at the pub - no
joy. Descended to Levisham station, and took the steam
train to Goathland - home of tourists. Steam trains are
just great - but don't sit by the window, you get covered
in soot. Impressive cast-iron beasts though.
- Tried to find food amongst the trinket shops,
and sheep; no joy - finished the flap-jack and returned
to Levisham after a wander around. Strangely ice-creams
seem all the rage, despite cooler temperatures. Big
commercial break here for hot-dog stand.
- Lunch - ravenous, more slugging. Wandered
around the quarry - rather extensive. Located an exciting
looking cave, and wandered through a field of nettles to
see it. Turns out the septic tank was located in an old
lime kiln there. Interesting place.
- Found out that the back wall of our (dormant
for several hundered years) quarry, despite looking
substantial, is wafer thin - there being a commercial
quarry behind it.
- Walked through the commercial quarry on the
public footpath - massive machines, rocks and buildings
lots of interesting engineering. Large mud pits "Danger
Deep Mud" - with life-belt & rope - curiosity
killed the grubber ?. Daced in the quary as the Sun
set, with the lady.
- Back home, before the scary darkness scared
her too much. Out for Indian meal, bed.
