Important Job in Bali

(organization)
Hello ,

Greetings from Bali
Last week I was telling you about Volcanoes and finding a supply of those Wooden Boat Displays, you can read it here. Actually one of those volcanoes became active this week, and Bali airport was closed for three days as a cloud of ash drifted by, I was thinking maybe I was stuck in Bali.. sadly not :) It cleared up and the airport reopened.

By the time you read this I will be on a flight back to Europe via Kuala Lumpur. It's been an hectic few days in Bali, never enough time to get everything done, but one important job had to be completed before the Galungan ceremony.

Both the Muslim and Balinese main festivals (both movable feasts) have conspired to happen at once. It's Eid and Galungan so that means that 100% of our suppliers are on holiday.
It's been one of those Bath Plug moments (I was telling you about a few weeks ago) - you know when you can't summon the will to get out of the bath.. pull the plug with your big toe, and you have to get up because you have a deadline.

So everyone has been working like crazy to get the orders completed before the festive seasons. It's all go.

Galungan day is a big holiday in Bali - similar in importance to our Christmas. For ten days the spirits come to earth and have to be respectfully cared for with lots of ceremonies. Penjor - spectacular bamboo poles with offerings suspended at the end appear draping every street. Every village has to be perfect, and every temple is a hive of activity and there are ten days of different festivals so lots of activity.

Back to that important job.
Regular readers will know we moved our Ubud warehouse recently. The new landlord had to get permission from the Village Chief whose only condition was that we do some things to make the village more beautiful. Of course this had to be done before Galungan - so Ringo and I went to a local nursery and stocked up with plants.. a nice guy amazing brought them all and two sacks of compost on his motorbike and planted them along the edge of our loading area. Next thing, we needed an artist to paint the front walls. Ubud is Artist central, so no problem finding an artist, a lady that works for us suggested her brother. This shy guy came and I explained my idea with a sketch, he went away and came back the next day with small painting.. looks good let's do it.
