This was in the thick photo album which I made with leftover card and black sugar paper bought from the 'triangle' stationery shop in Kuching. It is a photo of Sam in our kitchen at 222 Moorabool Street; it is a scene repeated many times. This time, it was captured on film, and printed. It was probably 6pm or later, as it is dark outside in the narrow alley way that led to our front door (our only door to the flat where we lived for about 5 years). The window can be lifted to unlock the door from the outside - years later, we would meet former residents of this flat who tell us about this. From the way she is dressed, it is likely that she did not have class that day. She is wearing my jumper, one of the first things I bought when I arrived in Australia, from an army disposals store on Flinders Street.
