José, the knife sharpener came to La Matilla

Today, Steve went to church alone. I haven´t been very constant about attending mass, but dad is really a good example of mass attendance. On the way back from church he found José, the knife sharpener who has been doing his job for 45 years.When I asked José if he was from this area, he was very emphatic and told me: "No, no,no. I am from Camas."

His mean of transportation is a small scooter that also gives energy to his sharpening system. The way people know that he is around is by blowing a whistle that has a very distinctive sound. Dad made a deal with him, and this morning came to the front of our house to sharpen two knifes at 3€ each. Here is a movie of the transaction.
