A conversation overheard in a café:
Person 1: Is that an apple thing?
Person 2, playing with his phone: Yeah, it's an iPhone.
Person 1: No, I meant... [to woman behind the counter] I'll have one of those apple turnovers, thanks.
In crime news, according to a headline I saw today:
Thieves steal rock from National Rock Gallery
I must admit, this is the first I've heard of us having a National Rock Gallery. But apparently you can just wander in empty-handed and wander out again with a piece of quartz that weights three-quarters of a tonne. Anyway, the gallery's chairman ...is urging Canberrans to keep an eye out for the rock, which is predominantly white in colour.
"It would be a bit unusual for your neighbour to turn up with a big white rock," he said.
"If someone's seen a big white rock unloaded in someone's front garden we'd like to hear about it."
So there's something to look out for.
