Another long day in the mountains for the cyclists. Also a day where they showed the whole stage on the telly which was great. I recorded it again because for me my spinning and watching was punctuated by playing in a concert this afternoon. It was quite hot, but luckily we were mostly in the shade (and I had my hat and my factor 30 anyway).<\/p>\n

More lovely mountainous scenery in France to admire today. It is one of the things I love about the Tour, seeing all the varied and beautiful countryside.<\/p>\n

The spinning has been coming along quite well. I have finished my first bobbin. My carding style seems to have changed. Today I carded my left hand whereas yesterday I carded my right, I’m not sure if this is necessarily an improvement. As there is no cycling on the telly tomorrow it might be an opportunity to watch my carding DVD and see if I can work out where I am going wrong.<\/p>\n

The spinning part is improving, although at a fairly glacial pace. At least today I broke the yarn less, and threw less away. I think there are longer stretches where it seems to be going fairly well, between the bits where it all goes pear-shaped \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
