Today I have jobs in Newark, Market Rasen (again) and Horncastle. But first it was look at a malfunctioning server in Lincoln and then pick up a back up data seed from an office very near to the Castle.

“So that’s it, is it?” said the Nutri-Matic when he had finished.

…and here is the link to the page about my Backpacking Brew Kit
