Friday afternoon ... and a week in which a lot has happened comes to an end. A raft of pictures that have been taken to be shared, but alas have
not yet been shared ....

A week long
Perl Programming course ...

Breakfast for 33 (yes, that's thirty three!) at
Well House Manor this morning ...

Seeing the traffic jamming the centre of Melksham this week, and thinking forward to what it might be like on 10 years time, when the town has grown by 50% ...

Standing in on the top of one of the most exposed buildings in Melksham as dawn broke, to take a picture of the only train that calls at Melksham during daylight hours ...

Explaining Perl's "Read from" operator, and how it handles files and STDIN.

At a quarter past five this morning ... walking past the bus stop on the way in to work ...

Spring, and crocuses push up through our gravel path

An archway at Well House Manor ...
And there's so much else not recorded in pictures too. A hardware failure on one of our dedicated servers located in a network centre in Germany, and getting that fixed. Response problems due to excess activity on our main server. "Snagging" at Well House Manor - that thankless but necessary task of going around and finding places where we could and should improve the product. And - always a thrill - showing new potential hotel customers around, and talking with new potential training course customers and having them enthused -
yes, this is the product for me.
