J'écris toujours dans la langue de la reine mère, en oubliant complètement, que parler anglais dan un contexte francophone, cela ne va pas toujours de soi. Cela fera bientôt neuf ans que je vis en Australie, le temps passe en alternance : j'ai toujours cette impression d'être arrivée hier et simultanément, je me sens de plus en plus Australienne.
