Lawnmower in Seminyak Bali
Coming home today at lunchtime, I spotted a strange creature moving slowly across the lawn. Rather large and shiny, it made a clicking noise. To be honest, I was scared to touch it, but finally got the courage to approach it and peak under it’s shell.
The sun here in Bali is intense. It cooks clothes, the landscape and people. Working outside is hard without some shade, and the strange creature on my lawn wasn’t taknig any chances. Peering under the silver shell, I saw it was Ana, who was cutting the grass, inch by inch. I offered my hat, but she was happy with the system she had developed. Necessity is the mother of invention.

No mate, gardening is still legal last time I checked. Only in tight-ass USA, do they get upset about paying someone to work for you.

How about investing in one of those lawn mowers that you push (http://www.hcoa.com.au/reel.htm), no engine just the rotary blade and handle. Can’t be too expensive and could save a lot of time.
I thought that kind of stuff was outlawed about 150 years ago.
