Luke Hand Diary: The Marvel of Mum’s Lawnmower and More
Mum’s lawnmower is a marvel, so old. How does it still run?
Ever had one of those days where the simplest things leave you in awe? In this episode of 'Luke Hand Diary', Luke takes us through a day filled with everyday tasks that turn out to be anything but ordinary. Starting with a mission to get his gran sorted out with a COVID vaccine certificate, Luke then dives into some gardening. From mowing the lawn to planting seeds and repotting, he finds himself marveling at his mum's ancient lawnmower.
How does this old machine still run? It's a question that leaves him both puzzled and appreciative. As the day lazily unfolds, Luke tackles his taxes, grappling with late lodgement fines and HECS repayments. It's a chore that many of us dread, but Luke's candid take on it makes it oddly relatable. He also spends some time listening to Morrissey albums he thought he didn't like, only to find out they’re actually pretty great. Talk about a pleasant surprise!
But the day isn’t just about mundane tasks. Luke also does some pro bono work and reflects on the unexpected news that his friend Davo, known for his alt-right views, has come out as pansexual. It’s a twist that leaves Luke—and likely you—pondering the complexities of people and their identities.
With a mix of humor and heartfelt moments, this episode is a reminder to find joy in the little things and to keep an open mind about the world around us. Whether you're dealing with your own set of daily challenges or just need a break from the norm, Luke's reflections offer a comforting and engaging listen.
