Elliptical trainer: 55 minutes, 14.5 virtual km, 15.8 kph, unknown steps

The pedometer on my mobile stopped working so I don't know how many steps it thinks I did. It does this sometimes, just need to reboot. One day I'll get around to resetting my mobile to factory settings to get rid of all the junk.

Glorious blue sky today but only 8 C because it was clear all night. Still I might brave a miniskirt when I go out.

Did a little bit of sewing to fix a couple of my pile of repairs. First was just to fix one of the hanging loops on my long brown velour skirt. Doesn't matter how ugly my sewing is there because it's on the inside. But I have a mini-skirt that I'm quite fond of that is so tight that one of the seams split at the lower hem. So I decided that if I can't hide the ugly work I'll highlight it instead so i used thick 'silver' thread to bind the edge of the split and to reinforce the seam above the split. No point in repairing the split itself because that would just put extra strain on the rest of the skirt.

So here for your amusement is a picture of the result:

It's terrible, must learn to do better! But it will do for the moment.
