PART TWO:
.. Anyway, after a quick flit round the newly-refurbished building we had some spiel from Neil, who is the creative industries coordinator (not sure if that title is spot on) at the Storey Institute. I hope the mix of business and art works here – I don’t know if I was very convinced by him, I heard a lot of ambition and lofty aspirations without him actually saying how anything would happen. But, in two minutes that may be a harsh judgement.
I was in the midst of a kidney infection and really struggled to sit still in my seat for the whole time to be honest. There was one point in the afternoon when I felt like I was going to have to leave/cry/plonk myself on the floor, but somehow I managed to get through to tea break. I also knew when in my discussion group that once I had tried to speak once, I shouldn’t try it again! Some garbled sentences came out – everyone politely nodded but I’m not sure it actually made much sense. I really wanted to tell Sans Facon what I thought about their practice, so it was frustrating, but never mind, it’s great to just listen and think sometimes!
More after work later on the individual speakers and the general usefulness of the event – this may be an epic post!
