+Interesting comments coming after the artist talk about Weather Lore included:
+  * Memories of life events and emotions connected to specific weather.
+  * How romantic is 'self sustainability'? Is Economic Collapse, Post Climate Chaos becoming a new trope for the beginning of any future scenario?
+  * Discussion about lifestyle choice, practicality and necessity.
+  * Comments about story telling, educating and informing through hard hitting messages in the tone of the 1980's Grim Reaper TV ads warning about Aids.
+In reflection of the talk about Weather Lore I was very pleased in principle that there was a very open flow of people entering and leaving the space. Simultaneous to the talk I served soup and fed children. I chatted with visitors whilst presenting a planned talk and ultimately the final minutes were interrupted and the formal talk was finished by the baby having a melt down. To wind up, a friend helped me clear the kitchen whilst updating me on the status of her vegetable garden and fruit trees. I could not have scripted things better to frame our future scenario enactment.
+However, I came away a little unsettled that the talk was not in focus by either myself or those around me. Multi-tasking exhausted me and softened the impact of the important points I wanted to make. The soup sipping, children playing around us and the flow of people through the space punctuated the time in ways I was not prepared for. So, things were as I had hoped and at the same time not what I had wanted.
+This residency is an opportunity to experiment with formats, frames and structures as well as ideas and from yesterdays artist talk I learnt a lot about my expectations and assumptions.I am very pleased that we had the opportunity to prehearse this presentation within our family in residence scenario.
