No one turned up to last week's lunchtime edition of my google workshop and only 2 turned up to the following evening session. This week 3 came on Wednesday to the deep web workshop I run and another 3 came to the evening edition yesterday.

For those that come to the workshops (which are part of a series run by myself and other colleagues on everything from referencing to getting the most out of journals) they're really useful and they seem to get a lot out of them. At least my feedback forms would suggest to.

But questions are being asked about the value of doing this for such low numbers. (I said that the 20 I had coming last time was a blip as a Polish teacher turned up with an international class en masse both weeks running!)

A new bus timetable introduced in the new year now also means that my last bus home leaves at 18:55 instead of 19:45 which is incredibly frustrating. Just about anything after normal hours at work will now cost a $20 cab fare.
