For some reason, I love the hexagonal tiles on the floor of the men’s toilet in the Lansdowne Hotel, Chippendale, in Sydney. Could it be because I’m old enough to remember when military simulations were played out on maps with a hexagonal grid?

I was grumpy because we started 40 minutes late. A technical fault at Ustream prevented people hearing the audio, so we just had to wait. I’m not good at waiting. I was rude. Sorry.
Still, when [...]

It’s also a quilt pattern known as ‘Grandmother’s Flower Garden’. I like it too, particularly in that colour scheme. Thank you for showing me something I would otherwise be unlikely to see.
