For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
POETS day at Well House Manor

It's POETS day - "Push off Early - Tomorrow's Saturday". No course, no events at the hotel. Sarah, who usually does the Friday morning shift, took the day as holiday and I stood in with a view to catching up on a few things I needed to do, expecting it to be quiet. I also decided to log comings and goings - a sort of sanity check for me to keep tabs on what goes on. And would you believe something every hour!

Illustration - Well House Manor as I arrived at 06:13 this morning.

06:15 - Graham in to prepare breakfast
07:10 to 07:30 - Three guests for breakfast
07:50 to 08:10 - Three guests checking out
08:30 - Rachel arrives to do an extra hour (help with a room changeover)
09:30 - Arron from another accommodation pops in to make contact
09:35 - Rachel leaves
10:00 - Paul drops in for the museum and to ask if we have old pictures of where he lives
11:00 - John drops in to discuss the rail meeting tonight and get some copies
12:50 - Ann and Breanda arrive to print the Villager
13:10 - Phil and Heather arrive to take over from me
13:30 - Blind man arrives (man to see Heather about blinds!)
14:00 - Two guests arrive for cream teas
15:30 - Lady from bank calls in for her appointment to see me
16:30 - First checkin of the day
17:25 - Second checkin
17:45 - Third checkin
17:55 - Villager team leave
18:00 - Fourth checkin

And in between that little lot, we've changed three rooms between us, ironed, taken phone calls and bookings. Now "just" waiting for the final checkin on a day when nothing was going to happen!
