Meet the readers - Anna Ander























I first met Anna when we were both copywriters at Moonwalk agency. Anna was pregnant then. So pregnant. You'd think that you can only be 100% pregnant or 0%, but Anna was 195% pregnant. She was so pregnant, I don't know where to begin. 

It wasn't just the third trimester thing, it was also some kind of symptom I can't remember the name of. Basically, people who have this symptoms only have one child, because the pregnancy in itself is too much for once pregnancy. It's like 10 pregnancies rolled into one. 

It was a high price to pay for one lovely embrace, but luckily enough it resulted in a magically perfect son - Wille. And then came Blanka. 

Anna is fluent in many languages and funny in every one of them. She is particular about food and clothing and why shouldn't she be? A girl needs to have certain standards. We, the people around her,  appreciate this attitude. 

Anna now works at a different office, together with lovely Maria, who lives on an island. Highly impractical, but picturesque.  Anna and Maria make the great advertising campaigns for Polarn & Pyret. Lena makes sure they deliver. We all love Lena. 

Anna leads an international lifestyle and vacations all over the world. We, the people around her, are jealous. 

Anna also recently bought a house in the south part of Stockholm.  We, the people around her, look forward to being invited for dinner. 

Anna is married to the love of her life, Jesper. They went to the same school. We, the people around her, are sometimes jealous of their relationship and many many shared memories. 

Anna has a beautiful voice that very often breaks into laughter. She has the rare ability to laugh and talk simultaneously. It is very charming. It seems like a voice apt for singing. Strangely, we have not heard Anna sing!

Just when Anna had her kids, her parents decided to move out to the country which was good and bad. Bad because they are now far away, but good because they moved to an incredibly beautiful place called Midsomer. They keep farm animals. 

Anna is a far relation of the last person who was executed in Sweden. That's really not her fault. That they're related I mean, not that they stopped excuting people in Sweden.  (Personally, I am against the death penalty. Especially by way of guillotine, which was used for poor Alfred Ander. )
















Anna has great hair and the kind of skin that is often referred to as "peaches and cream". 
I am happy to count her among my friends and proud to have her as a reader. She has a blog of her own, called What would Leo do. It's about what Leo of Westwing, not Leo di Caprio would do. Just so you know.
