   * Weather patterns these days are more random, hotter or colder when unexpected so there is more discomfort. Its like having one hand in boiling water and the other in freezing water, it is not pleasant. However the average temperature is still very much the same.   * Weather patterns these days are more random, hotter or colder when unexpected so there is more discomfort.

   * With agriculture timing is everything. If there is an untimely cold snap or an unseasonable heat wave then crops are ruined. In South Australia we have more crops than any other state.

 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.

Whilst the afternoon ws again cut short by children's needs and the schedule for Adhocracy, a half a dozen people stayed to ask about foam and Future forecasting. Many others left deep in contemplation.+Again people were served veges and were welcome to play with Florence as she danced about infront of the projector and distributed toys to hands and laps.
