Two women in their 50s on the Frankston line into Flinders Street, Monday, 9:22 am:
A: The only thing that I do low fat is my yoghurt. Oh, and I do diet jelly on Tuesdays.
B: Oh, that’s nice. That’s a nice refreshing treat.
(Pause)
B: You still doing Pilates?
A: On Tuesdays.
B: Oh, good on you. My teacher talks a lot. But she’s got this really calm voice. Really calm.
(Pause)
B: You see, no-one at work’s noticed. No-one’s said anything. Meanwhile, I’ve gone down in my clothes, you know! My sister’s noticed. And you. But nobody at work.
(Pause).
B: So, is your niece still with her husband?
