Two wins for the price of one

The "very unusual and exciting" event that I cliff-hangered you about on Monday came to pass: we have won a building contract despite losing a competition. I will say no more here because I don't want Google leading people down this path, but anyone who wishes should mail me and I'll send you back a URL to explain (nearly) all. [Updated to ask for a few days' grace to actually get something written.]

Six down, twenty-four to go.
