Bob had a nice time looking at his new café. His brain is still a bit dozy so I might have to take him there when he feels better, but where's Steve Hopwood? He was supposed to tell us what the problem is with his brain!

I Need A Briefing - Salient Facts, Actions And Said Results Of Actions.
I shall bring my experience and expertise to aid a solution.
I shall be unable to do this immediately. My own Culinary Situation is reaching critical point. This will be affected by the Alcoholic Imbibement Situation.
