ENG: So this is what home office would look like for me. But unfortunately, I don't have the luck or perhaps the misfortune. But now I have a few days off at a stretch and can follow my hobby and work a little on my JavaScript code project. Because it's too cold for taking pictures outside. ☻

GER: So würde bei mir also Home Office aussehen. Aber das Glück oder vielleicht auch Pech habe ich leider nicht. Aber dafür hab ich jetzt ein paar Tage am Stück Entlastungsfrei und kann so meinem Hobby nach kommen und ein wenig an meinen JavaScript Code-Projekt arbeiten. Weil für das Fotografieren draußen ist es mir aktuell zu kalt. ☻

Este painel de azulejos de padrão geométrico-vegetalista, datado entre 1590 e 1620 e atualmente no Museu Nacional do Azulejo em Lisboa, é um exemplo da produção portuguesa do final do século XVI e início do XVII. Composto por módulos repetidos de motivos florais estilizados em azul sobre fundo branco, enquadrados por uma trama geométrica em amarelo ocre, o desenho reflete influências mudéjares e renascentistas, evidenciando a continuidade da tradição decorativa hispano-mourisca em Portugal. Os azulejos de padrão eram frequentemente utilizados no revestimento integral de paredes de igrejas e palácios, criando autênticos “tapetes” cerâmicos e desempenhando funções decorativas e simbólicas. A paleta cromática, limitada ao azul, amarelo e branco, é característica da produção portuguesa anterior à influência holandesa, afirmando-se como um elemento estruturante da arquitetura portuguesa e um testemunho da criatividade das olarias da época.
This panel of tiles with a geometric-vegetalist pattern, dated between 1590 and 1620 and currently in the National Tile Museum in Lisbon, is an example of Portuguese production of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Composed of repeated modules of stylized floral motifs in blue on a white background, framed by a geometric pattern in ocher yellow, the design reflects Mudejar and Renaissance influences, showing the continuity of the Hispano-Moorish decorative tradition in Portugal. Patterned tiles were often used in the integral coating of church and palace walls, creating authentic ceramic “carpets” and performing decorative and symbolic functions. The chromatic palette, limited to blue, yellow and white, is characteristic of Portuguese production prior to the Dutch influence, establishing itself as a structuring element of Portuguese architecture and a testimony to the creativity of the potteries of the time.
Seen in the sassi area, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Note the clay rain downspouts and the lovely painted tiles.

Believed to be the final resting place of Saint James the Apostle. Santiago de Compostela’s pilgrimage, known as the Camino de Santiago, is one of the world's most significant and historical Christian pilgrimages.
Bei Gernhardt / Bernstein heißt es:
Die Basis sprach zum Überbau:
"Du bist ja heut schon wieder blau!"
Da sprach der Überbau zur Basis:
"Was is?"
... which it is near impossible to translate, still here's some sort of rendering:
Oh, Superstructure, said the Base,
methinks you're totally shitfaced,
upon which the Superstructure replied:
Quite.
(Robert Gernhardt / F.W.Bernstein: "Basis und Überbau")
A ceramic walltile from a school or factory in the days of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China, exhorting the pupils or workers to “Serve the People”, a political slogan and motto of the Chinese Communist Party.
The use of slogans is solidly linked to patterns in everyday Chinese speech, where short rhythmic phrases are considered to be the clearest way of speaking. These kinds of phrases (often represented by four characters in Chinese) have been deployed down the centuries by leaders for more than 2,000 years.

I know, only too well, what is happening here. That chap is conducting a pendulum swing test to check the degree of 'slippiness', or ideally 'non -slippness' or slip resistance of the floor tiles!
Prior to my retirement from London Underground I got to know possibly just a bit too much about the results of such tests as station floors should meet a certain standard and many are the sites that have indeed had their floor tiles replaced due to failure - although I do recall some embarrassing moments when new floors failed usually due to a lack of finishing (some surfaces require in-situ grinding) or actually seemingly produced results worse than the ones we'd replaced. An exact science; hmm.
The tiles seen here are in fact amongst some of the best we ever had - the 1920s and '30s saw London Transport use a tile to its own specification and that is known as the "St James's". The secret is in the mix of clays, cement and carborundum that allows for wear to gradually expose flecks of the carborundum thus actually improving the slip resistance. These floors were also very solidly laid and the tiles are cast to quite a depth that proved complex to replicate in renewals.
The station is, I'm sure, Leicester Square station, opened in 1906/7, that was reconstructed between 1930 and 1936 in a hugely complex scheme to construct a new sub-surface ticket hall and replece lifts with escalators to serve both the Northern and Piccadilly lines. The staircase entrances, ticket hall and upper escalator landings have walls clad in these large faience blocks that still survive in places although the carefully laid floor, seen here, was replaced with an unfortunately 'square' layout in a circular space that has never looked that good to my eye,
The bronze framed direction sign is a later replacement for the original (this has two flights to the arrow, the original would have had three flights - a good way to date an LT sign) and is in Johnston typeface. Given that, the fashion and other details such as the wear to the walls I'd think this is mid-late 1950s.

1960s
Minton's were one of the many UK ceramic tile manufacturers but amongst one of the most highly regarded. The concern, based in Stoke on Trent in the English Potteries, was a partnership between the established Minton pottery family and Michael Hollins in 1845. As well as ceramic wall and decorative tiles the company became famous for its encaustic floor tiles. These were very popular in the mid-Victorian period when the styles and designs echoed the interest in Gothic and Medevial architecture and as well as 'new' works, their product was used in many 'restorations' of earlier buildings.
The old tileworks on Shelton Old Road has, unlike the main pottery long demolished, survived and is now a Listed building. The advert appears in the November 1933 issue of Architectural Review.
I decided to take a trip into the city convincing myself that the waether would take a turn for the better and that it was gonna stay dry.
Little did I know.
It was a constant drizzle that fell down from the gray skies as I arrived in the city but I nevertheless started to walk ( I didn't get very far).On of the first few places that were open at this early hour, and that I could use for shelter, was this laundrette.
The african man spoke english and a few words in Flemish.There were also two elderly women in the laundrette.They didn't have any contact with the African male.
