Tiles

I wanted to have a photo of the new Codethink work offices before I retire at the end of this month to link with this posting back from 2009 of TNEI's offices in Newcastle. Here's the Dale St offices

Green and white used to be very much the fashion, I think I remember similar tiling being present in the Cussons offices in North Manchester where I worked on a project back in 1977?

Lisbon

We extended the holiday with a night's stay in Lisbon. These are some of the tiles in the Cervejaria Trindade a converted refectory of a monastery, you'd never know it was there from the street.

We spent much of the day walking in the centre, lots to see, we never made a tram ride - they always seemed to be packed to the doors even at 9am on Sunday morning!
Evening meal at Santo Antonio de Alfama down in the Moorish quarter - we'd had lots of soggy vegetables during our stay they were well cooked here - we just got in, I'd recommend booking! We stayed by the castle, busy - lots of street vendors selling selfie sticks(!) but the hotel was quiet and restful.
