When Husband used to walk George he would come back and tell me all the gossip he'd heard from various dog-walkers he'd meet on his way. "You know, the woman with a bun and poodle who won at Crufts?"
I have no idea about whom he's talking.
I can manage to return 'good morning' or 'hello' but if the speaker then makes another comment I panic.
"Morning."
"Morning."
"Lovely day again."
"Um yes," then because I think that sounds too abrupt I repeat, "yes, lovely."
Then again when I do 'make conversation' it usually turns out that I really shouldn't have. Like the other day when a dog growled at Louie. I said, "I'd growl too if someone sniffed my bottom."
Almost certainly shouldn't say these things to complete strangers.

Your conversational skills sound delightful to me!
To me, that sounds like the right thing to say. 😊
I'd say you're telling it like it is!
Lol, Liz. I’d love to take a walk with you!
Your conversational skills are equal to mine. I think we could get along just fine...lol
