A brick is a block or a single unit of a kneaded clay-bearing soil, sand and lime, or concrete material, fire-hardened or air-dried, used in masonry construction.
Lightweight bricks (also called "lightweight blocks") are made from expanded clay aggregate. Bricks are produced in numerous classes, types, materials, and sizes which vary with region and time period, and are produced in bulk quantities. Two basic categories of bricks are fired and non-fired bricks. Fired bricks are one of the longest-lasting and strongest building materials, sometimes referred to as artificial stone, and have been used since circa 5000 BC. Air-dried bricks, also known as mudbricks, have a history older than fired bricks, and have an additional ingredient of a mechanical binder such as straw. Bricks are laid in courses and numerous patterns known as bonds, collectively known as brickwork, and may be laid in various kinds of mortar to hold the bricks together to make a durable structure.
You do get to see interesting characters on the streets of Brick lane, more so on Friday nights.

er muratore
sapè usà er filo a pionno e la cazzola,
in tempi come questi de recessione,
potrebbe esse sempre na soluzzione,
se poi ce se mette pure appresso al carriola.
tirà su tramezzi e pareti dritte,
a vorte è un'arte non da tutti,
con la carce e li carcestruzzi,
a costrui' palazzie casematte.
però na vorta tanti anni fa,
la manovalanza ar servizzio der potere,
costrui' un opera che fece vergognà
la tirò su dalla notte ar giorno,
er bianco qua er rosso di là,
na divisione netta senza ritorno.
vent'anni so passati da quelle picconate,
che ce resero piu' libberi e piu' felici,
ma pensanno alle speranze de quei giorni
me viene in mente un pensiero oscuro
vedenno er monno come è diventato,
cò na coperta che nun copre manco er letto,
nun è che sto muro invece de cascà s'è triplicato?
Despite the festive season upon us the builders have still been busy laying bricks on the latest project
If you're in Sydney, one exhibition you really must go to is The Art of the Brick at the Powerhouse Museum.
It features hundreds of DC Comics characters all built out of Lego by a chap called Nathan Sawaya and it really has to be seen to be believed.
If you've ever been a fan of Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman, this is the place to go!
