surely not

"How long have you been in Canberra?"

A colleague uses the National Multicultural Festival.

(February.) To keep track.

Me. I choose Floriade.

(Though it's later in the year.)

Like last year, I went on the first day.

Only this time, by myself. No date.

Wearing a floral sundress. Again. Mum-bought.

Some things change. Some don't.

I wonder how many more times I will go. 

One, two? (Three, surely not.)
