My dear fellows,

I am returned from my all-too-brief sojourn. In my absence BREW has been updating the technology in the office. As I have frequently said, BREW was always at the forefront and we aim to be there again. You can see the great strides forward we have made with these amazing new pieces of equipment:

The office ladies can hardly contain their excitement at their new equipment, too,

My technical adviser assures me that there is no need for me to understand what any of this amazing wizardry does, and that is top-hole as far as I am concerned.

Please ensure you catch up on our latest broadcast: Omnibus 7 of the celebrated audiobook podcast “Turning Left at Albuquerque”.

Pip pip!
