Door Knobs, Tires and Tobacco Tea (with Herbs!)

I’ve been tampering with door knobs, especially the kind that pull off when you use them, and the kind that don't shut neighbours' rattly bang-bang doors. I've also been swapping tires off different bicycles to make one straight bike. The front is almost level with the back, almost. Sponges in door cracks are useful to hold doors still, but being sneaky with sponges makes neighbours suspicious. Frankly, I find people who try to recycle their wet shirts and half-eaten tomatoes in the recycling bin suspicious.

Otherwise I'm succumbing to a madness for dandelion & chicory root/leaf teas - 'wortbrews': They are my darlings. I got to mingling coffy & tobacco leaves with the dandy in an iron steeper today. It's pungent, heady, headswimmy & tasty (with lots (LOTS) of pure cream). For calories, am slurping in a deal of leek & tater cream-soup, biting on Italian red-wine salamis, red taters, February crabapples, honey, butter, ciabatta, high calorie ale (imperial), dandelion, broccoli, broccoli sprouts, salmon, sardines, and ingesting dark cacao cakes with runny cacao centers.
