Not much to tell really: started blog a very long time ago in dark ages pre-facebook and smartphones. Tried a few names which were taken, and eventually landed on life-of-anna. Alas, do not consider that to be true name of blog - name of blog is really "Anna in Australia," and can change at any time depending on mood. And location. In deed, would be idiotic to move to the Maldives and not change name of blog to "Anna in the Maldives."
Mmm. Like sound of that. "Anna in the Maldives." Nice to daydream now that we are in winter here; and only time of day when am not freezing is when in shower. You see, may be 20 degrees and sunny during the day - but as soon as sun sets (around 5pm) it is perhaps 10 degrees. Inside and out. Yes. Insulation - what..?
That is whole other issue.
The famous Aussie laid-back attitude extends to house-building. Floor not straight? No worries, mate! Supporting beam missing? She'll be right, mate! Single pane windows and no insulation? It's all good, bro!
And most of the time they're right, too.
We may get a little cold at times, for a couple of months out of the year - but it's all good really. And this also teaches one the important spiritual lesson of detachment and patience. Not feeling short-tempered in the face of cold hands and feet. Shrugging ones shoulders at minor issues and realising - there is more to life than a perfect appearing house.
Actually am going to stop here. Was going to write some more, but fingers are ice-cold and stiff, keep having to correct spelling mistakes due to not being able to use hands as God intended.
But I'm totally cool with that.
Totally.
