Added Another Row

At my craft group the other night, I attached the bottom row of octagons and granny squares.

I did the math by weighing the 4 x 6 blanket and the remaining yarn and determined there was more than enough yarn left to make 6 more octagons to create a fifth column for the right side. I've done two and have four more to go. It will make a very cozy blanket. 

This afternoon I'm heading to the theatre to watch the new Downton Abbey movie and we'll go out for supper afterwards. Should be fun.

Yesterday was my first Zumba class in about 10 years. I am so out of shape it was necessary for me to sign up for something to get my butt out the door and doing some exercise. I like the dance aspect and the Latin music. It's great cardio - lots of fun - and the hour went very quickly. It was challenging but I'm pretty proud that I did OK. Additionally, weekly yoga sessions start the second week of October.

• I finished watching 'Deadwater Fell' on Amazon Prime. Anything David Tennant is in is excellent. I recognized the other two actresses. One is Anna Madeley who played Mrs Hall on 'All Creatures Great And Small'. The other one took a bit of Googling before I realized she is Cush Jumbo, who played Lucca Quinn on 'The Good Fight'.
• I then started watching 'Acceptable Risk' (whilst crocheting, of course) and stayed up way too late. These British mysteries are so well written. I also like that not everything is focused around car chases and gun fights. They rarely even show someone getting shot. I will be searching out more series like these on Netflix and Prime.
