In this paper, I will discuss and analyse two main resources for interaction in the context of bed and breakfast interactions: spatial and weather. Starting from the premise that guests in a bed and breakfast are from another geographical area, common background is first established by means of a spatial resource — requesting information on their hometown. Once they have some interactional history, they may start looking for other resources so that their dialogue may continue.
Keywords: resource, topic, dialogue, conversation analysis, bed and breakfast, common ground
