The Broken Floor Tile presented by Paul Howes

It has long been the case that i lived in a life style of puzzles which did not stand me in a good light when at school, however i determined at a certain age of learning never to let school interfere with my own education or indeed the way my life or direction of it would be setting sail upon.  As always in hind sight it is much easier to write of it now in my 76th year of ongoing Topsy Turvy Life.                                                                               

                                                                              

THE BROKEN FLOOR TILE, does exist in picture form  which cannot be denied, 

however odd it might turn out to be my story is rather a Tall Tale ,

                       written by myself Paul Howes.   So Copyright does certainly apply!          

               

Here i am upon my way to add flooring to my invisible library a place of higher esteem for Sir Percy,

         and Miss Estelle  as both will reach out from it to the very stars!                                                                   

Step one of this endeavour, was to replace that broken floor tile. A something i believe Mr Fred Grip Into Place failed to do after a State Visit of 1837 by  her Majesty Queen Victoria, and upon noticing the broken tile," What a mess!" She had declared!" This will never do."  Which soon after her leaving was duly assigned to forgetful history soon thereafter, and eventually even by the old Queen her self, who passed away in 1901 deep sunk within her own black style of end of life! For she had lost her Prince Albert, many years before and had worn black every day since her heart was so cruelly broken. And so it had been black was the norm most high society ladies wore to be in the favour of Victoria, and her usual much better dress sense.                                                      

However with the passing of such an ordered age of high minded extremes,                                              full colour had returned to such a busy bustle within the VOUGE, of Modern Times.                                

Charlie Chaplin, would come to see it most certainly in a new light!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                            

That repair was never done and dusted because Mr Fred Grip Into Place, only knew how to fail at laying anything into place. So it was inconvenient for him and his local Council lifestyle of break and not repair. So way back in 1837 a very large heavy bookcase was duly pushed and then shuffled over such a damaged spot, covering it from peoples view until this very Year of 2025.
                                                               

In order to repair such a corner stone effect i removed the top section which is on view above.

Soon after i removed that which is upon view above. By pushing the two together on my PC, the repair will be made to that corner stone. Then after recopying this will therefore form a pleasing pattern to make it possible to form a brand new floor covering for Sir Percy's Library. Of course this productive action is well befitting the Old Queens directed order.

i will also restore the full colours from 1861 when these floor tiles were long ago made. 

There are many floors within this place full of my own imagination.

Thank you kindly for your visit, BB which happens to be little Me!

So i formulated the Plates myself, which means by cutting and placing pieces i can size any floor area deep set within Sir Percy's Library. A place for little figures to find fresh new adventures each time they enter it.

   Of course it can be quite a dark place lost within Time & Space! But you have to look upon the bright side knowing full well that you and i are not there.
