I thought you guys would like to see this. Every Monday in Castelo Branco this turns up near the entrance to the market so people can take their knives to be sharpened.







I took this last one by accident, but as it's probably more 'arty' than any other photo I've ever taken, I'm putting it here to go with the others. And yes, that is my rather grubby foot - it's dusty here in the summertime unless you're in the city centre and walking on the cobblestones...

I finally got a couple of photos of the knife-sharpener in action!



 
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
