So, I thought I’d take a look at the BBC Weather website…
And here’s the screengrab of what I saw:
33 degrees?!?
<Gives wide-eyed stare>
That’s hotter than Devon at certain times of the year.

About this blog
It's over.
Ah... Do you want to know a bit more?
This blog was set up to chart my experience singing in Malaysia for two months (see below for the original 'About this blog' blurb) - and is over until the next time I do a stint in Asia, at least. At which point, I'll probably return to this page, slap a big '2' next to the words 'Lost In Transposition', and start blogging every day, all over again. In the meantime, I'll be writing weekly posts about life, the universe and jazz music over at the 'Blog' section of andreamann.com. Which is my main website, and where no pictures of my bottom exist.
My name is Andrea Mann and I'm a jazz singer and a freelance journalist. I live alone in London, England... except for February and March this year, when I'll be living in with approximately 300 other people in a hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
It's a five-star hotel with a pool, a spa and a jazz lounge. I'll be singing six nights a week in this jazz lounge, and the agent says I'll "be treated like a local celebrity". I'm imagining my experience might turn out to be a little like Lost In Translation. Hence the title. And the bottom.
This is going to be my blog about my adventures out there. I apologise in advance for making you click on my bottom to get to the homepage. Past posts

Wonderful! Bit humid though. (Looks out window, observes grey clouds, shivers, thinks about central heating and thinks “So what?”). Hugh in the UAE has just lived through the three days of rain that they have, annually. He’s complaining at having to wear a second layer in the day time. My heart is bleeding. Actually I’m also wondering what 50 degrees feels like. Which will be the BBC weather picture for June. xx

I can remember lying on the bed (or rather plank of wood with threadbare sheet and concrete filled pillow) in the hostel, watching the whirling fan above me, which did absolutely zilch to move any air around, unable to move ‘cos I was so hot, tired, dehydrated, sweaty - it was a bit like Willard in his hotel room at the beginning of Apocalypse Now; except I didn’t go mental bananas. Too lazy.

Rachel - Wonderful, indeed. I will report back on what it’s like.
Tracy - I’m hoping the hotel has better facilities than that. If not, I’ll take myself, and my vocal chords, elsewhere. (She said, flouncing out like Miss Piggy).
