"Thanks," I respond to his assurance that as long as I survive the winter I'll be able to survive anything. Honestly, it sounded a bit like Australia, except there it was a matter of surviving the summer (and the spiders and snakes).
"I've been fortunate since my arrival to have met some very generous people, who have helped me to settle. My landlord allows me to pay rent by running errands and I have made enough contacts to keep myself busy." I explain amicably, genuine gratitude evident in my tones, as well as a bit of pride that I had managed to put something of a life together for myself here.
I wanted more, though I hadn't quite worked out what that more was yet.
"What sort of work do you do?" I ask, the Kraai not far ahead of us now.
