Tiles

 

I was dragging myself together to take hellhounds for their first hurtle this morning when the phone rang.  It was my builder.*  About these tiles, he said.  I’ve just rung up the tile company** and they say that their computers are down.  And their computers may be down for several weeks.  And the fellow I spoke to can’t find the ID numbers on the back of the sample tiles you gave me in the database that he can still get to, and he wants me to describe the tiles over the phone.
