Le Tour de Fleece: Day Six

Barcelona seem to be having today the weather we had a couple of days ago. It looked nasty cycling weather for the finish of today’s stage. Interesting trivia: today was the furthest south the tour is going this year.

Luckily the weather here has cheered up a bit. I spent some time up the ladder poking at the gutters, and have hopefully solved part of the watery carpet problem. Once the wasps have been removed I might try pouring a bucket of water or two into the gutter to check that the downpipe isn’t blocked too. Oh the joys of home maintenance.

It has been a busy day here so I only got a chance to do about an hour of spinning this evening. Here is how the bobbin looks now,  still not finished, though I am now down to only 2 net bags of grey fibre.

Paul chose today’s coin. It is a Nebraska quarter. I think he chose it because it had a pretty picture 🙂
