It turns out the damage isn't as bad as I expected. (I always expect the worst. That way, I'm never disappointment and sometimes I get a happy surprise.) There is minimal mould. We've had a fan blowing on the damp bits for three days so everything is good and dry now. I will apply bleach to the mould and leave it to dry for a few more days. BTW, the leaking pipe has been replaced.

Although there is nothing wrong with our dishwasher, DH still wants to replace it. He has hated it for the last nine years and is looking forward to a nice new Maytag.

This weekend we will be looking for a new computer for me. I've decided I'd like a laptop but DH says he prefers desktops so we shall see what I end up with.

Craft markets are beginning this coming weekend. I hope there will be some new and different stuff. I'm getting tired of all the jewelry and place mats. I am really looking forward to the Fair Trade World Craft Bazaar on Saturday. They have some very unique items. Maybe I can finish my Christmas shopping soon.

I sold a lacey, beaded scarf at the Blue Fish Gallery last month. I need to knit some more things for the gallery. I'm currently working on a colourful, chevron cowl.
