And by that I mean a person says something then passes the virtual conch to the next person, who does the same?

Start 20.50, end 21.00.

Hello, how's your Saturday been first commenter?

It's been challenging, I have a 3 year old with tonsillitis. But I made the best of it.

What are you doing tomorrow next poster?

passes conch

👋 Ah no, hope they're not too miserable with it. Tomorrow I'm going to pop to Lidl and see if they still have their greek week food left, I fell in love with tinned aubergine and am panicking at the thought of it disappearing!

Any plans @AliceAbsolum or more child soothing?

Oh I get it, it's not then a new poster. Tbf I've never seen lotf 😅

Oo I love Greek food, I'll be in lidl too this week at some point then.

It's 21.08....

If you’re in Lidl, the chocolate coated fruit is excellent- gooseberries and blackcurrants. Sort of candied/freeze dried and dipped in chocolate.

I realise no one passed me a conch, and I don’t know if anyone’s even in the circle anymore. Still…

I thought it might be busier and 10 minutes enough 😆

Look how easily we descend into anarchy!

Chocolate coated fruit sounds delish!

I don't get it!

I think we’ve descended into a general chat.

We used to use a ‘pass the conch’ type idea to get everyone to take turns to talk at the table. It taught the whole turn taking and listening part of conversation. There’s a few adults out there that still need the practice!

I admit it was a flimsy suggestion.

I'm bored and my company is a 12 year old shouting at his friends via roblox.

I'd 100% be on a telephone chat line now if they still existed.
