Making headway with the Sherbet blanket. The middle section is just about an inch short of what I want. I want the blanket to be in 3 parts. The first section is all the colors, the middle the bright pink, and then repeat the colored section for the third section. Didn't work on it while in England for 2 wks, which I've been blogging about on my travel blog. But did take it on our road trip to Williamsburg, which I'll blog about when I've finished the England tour blogging.
The entire series (9 books), of The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is 413 hours in audio books. Whew! But, is soooooooooo worth it. Sadly this picture is not in order. Not sure why, maybe a color thing. Yes I've watched some of tv series, but not the last 2 seasons and decided I wanted to read the books. The narration is so well done, I think you would miss something if you read them vs listened to them. Here's the proper order.- Outlander 33 hours
- Dragon Fly in Amber 39 hours
- Voyager 43 hours
- Drums of Autumn 45 hours
- The Fiery Cross 56 hours
- A Breath of Snow and Ashes 57 hours
- An Echo in the Bone 46 hours
- Written in My Own Blood 45 hours
- Go Tell the Bees I'm Gone 49 hours
Davina Porter is the lady that narrates all 9 books. She is English, her father was a real Londoner= Cockney, her mother was born in St. Andrews Scotland, and she married Glasgow born Scot. So lots of diversity in language/accents. She truly does a wonderful job!! I highly recommend all 9 books with her reading them.All I can record for the month of August is steps/miles walking which would include mowing the yard. I was in England for 2 wks and got a good number of steps while on tour. My highest day was 20,473 steps (9miles) in the month which was mid month, while in England. Additionally I had 2 days with 17K in steps (7 miles), again while touring England. So, I'm happy with the steps/miles The month total is 126.58 miles (306,953 steps) which is more than the July total of 102.54 miles. Elbow is better, but still not 100% so have not tried to do planks. I have started doing some yard work with the fall clean up of flower beds. I am not however using the spudbar which caused the injury. I am able to dig up lilies with a shovel because they don't have hard roots in order to thin things out in the flower beds.
