I have lived here for three years and every day I think, surely tomorrow I'll be rescued.

But I came in 2009, make long story short.

I came to this country as a mature student at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens.

Really?

Studying horticulture or something?

Seriously?

Horticulture and plantsmanship.

Plantsmanship is such a sweet little word.

Are you into gardens and stuff?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's why I'm, you know.

So.

And this is, of course, the beginning of all my sorrows when I get housing.

Because getting housing is just stepping into the Colosseum.

What?
