Last rays of the sun

The first half of the morning was spent on a house call. The job proved a little more difficult than expected. Such calls are often interesting. Quite often various treasures are brought out for my inspection and exchange can form part of the transaction. Minor call backs can be rewarded with sacks of potatoes and, on one occasion, a woman was reluctant to pay for the repair but offered me a pedigree chihuahua puppy in exchange for the service. I politely declined!
