Portable?

When I was out for a walk today I spotted this gentleman, who is wearing a lunghi as mentioned the other day, trundling his treadle sewing machine down the main road. Sadly he turned off just before I could get my phone out of my bag. It's not unusual to see all sorts of interesting household tools and equipment being pushed from place to place here as people do small jobs. I've seen ironing trolleys, knife sharpeners and various specialist food vendors not to mention litter and plastic collectors amongst others.
Sunday today so a fairly quiet day. I went out for a walk to have some lunch and then later on to get my flask filled with tea. I've been trying to make my steps total a bit more respectable by popping out for short walks, but the heat is fairly relentless.
It's fun when I go into supermarkets as flocks of young assistants descend on me, all desperate to help. I try unsuccessfully to make my dull shopping items more exciting!!!
My taps have stayed drip-less after the plumber's visit last night so that's good news.
I'm just about to get changed now ready to go out to dinner with friends.
