Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.

They are a very aromatic citrus that has no juice or pulp -- they are all about the pith and skin. I chopped up two of them (filled a quart mason jar) and covered with vodka as the beginning part of the recipe for making a traditional bottle of limoncello.

They were the typical florist stuff, and a few nicer, but still inexpensive pieces. Good for vases we won't see again...
So, "no more!" I'm told... but I still bring home a few of the nicer ones now and then.
One day there's an interesting one, looks chunky, feels heavy! no chips, just dusty... cool!
Once home I wash it up, and while drying it off I notice "Waterford" etched in the bottom!!
Nails are sold by the pound, that makes sense.

Empty plastic bottles are cut down to be used as pots to grow seedlings in and the only chance of getting anything is if something is left out in the lane for others to make use of even then if it cannot be used as firewood.

I both sorrow for you not being able to get free stuff, and envy you living in a culture where people have a CLUE and don't waste everything. I am horrified by the waste here, and harvest as much of it as I can possibly use. And it sickens me that I can't even make a dent in the flood of just flat wasting all of these resources.

In the UK I'd pick nettles to make soup seen as odd behaviour there, here that's a common practice, fruit and nut trees seem to line the roads in and out of the village which people take full advantage of. Here " make do and mend" isnt a hobby but a way of life. Which suits me.
