I got clever this time and wrote bits of walk report in the morning and at lunchtime, so that in the evening I already had my snippet, and no excuse for doing anything except sitting looking at the book until I wrote something about it (plus playing the poor fiddle and the guitar, and reading rubbish, and generally distracting myself otherwise, of course).

343 words of walk report, 221 on the book.

Hutton's real strength seems to have been his ability to use rocks as experiments which had already taken place - in the same way a chemist might predict that a particular reaction would occur, and test it to see, Hutton would come to believe that a certain event had occurred, and that the result would show in a certain kind of place or kind of rock

Good progress! And good for you, for writing in the evening on the book, after the day's accomplishment on the report.

I felt moderately virtuous :-)

Distractions are good for the soul!

They are, but so is achievement ;-)

Hutton is intriguing me.

I think he doesn't get much attention because he wasn't a particularly eccentric character himself - but what he found out was pretty interesting.
