that's a new one
I opened the fridge and there was a spider hanging down off the door compartments, only a small one, about 2cm, but still, it was unexpected

Classic Herbal Essences is discounted right now at Coles and silicone free. 🤔 Finding it a bit hard to rinse the Dove bar out sometimes so maybe I’ll try just the shampoo in whatever type looks least smelly. Edit: Actually looking at the descriptions I might go smell it first. I’d go for the Moisture Milks but they seem to be gone.
The zucchini are sending up more male flowers. I thought they were done. The mildew and heat have left them looking a bit rough.
There’s progress on the string bag. It’s mind numbing and I’m trying to nail the way to hold the yarn but soon I’ll be to the next stage.

There’s also a baby huntsman who’s been here a few days. I hope he stays out of Melbcat’s reach
Has anyone ever done any icebreakers that don't suck for a group of friendly but introverted IT types?
I have a couple of newbies starting and want to help them get to know people but we are a naturally introverted lot. We are going to do a bit of a cake and chat before the next team retro. Do I let the awkward convos ...sorta flow? Should I just get everyone to introduce themselves formally (small team - they will have met the newbies) or is there any non sucky thing that helps people relax and chat? This will be an in person thing.

Rise and shine. 😄
Good morning Seagoon, thank you for posting a Thursday thread. Briongloid's Tuesday version had me most confused. I have a hard enough time keeping track of the days as it is, I wasn't sure what part of the week I was in for a few minutes 😃

Today is v. vague
I’m grateful for the dishwasher doing the washing part but I still need to fussily stack it and then manually rinse everything and set it to drip afterwards. (Doesn’t rinse well.) So I get stuck on that part and dishes pile up anyway. :(

Feeling a bit grumpy tonight, mostly in just not being happy with me, but I went for a stroll around the block, indulging in some gaming and now I'm just appreciating how good my chest is while winding down for sleep by watching a Kdrama. Anyone here seen It's Okay Not To Be Okay? Fucking batshit, I tells ya.
