Overheard At Breakfast.

Several months ago. A couple at breakfast in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

He's having waffles with cream and maple syrup for breakfast.

"Honey," she says, and reaches over to take his hand. "I'm scared that one day I'll find you dead from heart disease."

He glances at her fruit and yoghurt.

"I'm scared that one day I'll find you've taken up jogging."

Overheard On A Plane.

Two people, a teenage boy and a young professional woman, met for the first time on a plane. They were seated directly behind me.  People 15 rows away would have heard this exchange.

F: "I'm more weirder than anyone I know, when it comes to music."

M: "Yeah? Well my tastes are right out there - left of centre."

F: "Well, my colleagues hate travelling in my car because I'm so out there."

M: "Really? Well, who do you like to listen to?"

F: "Coldplay. And Angus & Julia Stone."
