This is Bilinda Law-Morley. She is one of my work colleagues. She got baptized yesterday at the ward she attends, and she invited me and my family to come along.
Her journey with the church began when she overheard me talking to another work colleague about the church and she was curious. She asked me a few questions, and I gave her a Restoration Pamphlet. At that time, she said to me that she did not want to join our church, she was just curious.
Then a few months later the missionaries came by when she was cleaning up her yard and asked if she needed any help. That was when she had first contact with the missionaries. They came back in their P-Day clothes and helped her out, and she invited them over for dinner and to hear the lessons. The moment was right for her to listen to the spirit and accept the Gospel.
When she pulled me over at work and invited me, I was so surprised! I was so happy that she decided to take this step. It was the highlight of my week.

125 Picturs in 2025 #81 Restoration
The Bob Hall Pier in Corpus Christi, Texas was severely damaged in 2020 by Hurricane Hanna. It was only back in May 2025 that a plan for rebuilding the new pier was finalized and construction began. This is how it looks today. Hopefully they will finish before the heat death of the universe.
A dilapidated old chair for sale at the same shop as the Singing Fish (see photo in first comment below). Both the singing fish & the toolbox appear to have been sold since my last visit HWW!

Trinity Church, Wall Street
The church has undergone extensive cleaning and repair work in the interior and exterior. Updated wiring, electrical systems and all controlled with 21st Century technology. Seen on a tour as part of Sacred Sites Open House Weekend by the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Estimated completion of the project should be by the end of the year.
The church was consecrated in 1846 and designed by architect Richard Upjohn. It's the third building on the site. Trinity's history begins in 1697, the original building burned in a great fire during the American Revolutionary War.
At Shantytown, New Zealand, railway equipment waiting for restoration,
Taken from my slide collect of the early 1980s.
I posted a couple of photos earlier that were rather cryptic and did not fully explain that work has been underway with restoration of ex Abbotts of Blackpool AEC Reliance / Harrington Grenadier 487 GFR. Perhaps it is time to catch up with what is going on. The coach was restored for preservation in 1989 and last repainted in 1995 when it re-entered commercial service with Prestige Tours' Scottish Heritage operations and then on to MCT Travel in Motherwell, before retiring again in 2000. In short, it has easily had its design life time again and has now become a bit down at heel. I was pursuaded by my two colleagues who were invaluable help in the restoration of Dennis Lancet UF YYB 118 that since mechanically and electrically it was sound (hmmm...) a modest amount of attention could see it back on the road and prevent furthur deterioration. The jury is still out on what constitutes a modest amount of work.
It is suffering at least four of the aliments known to afflict Harrington Cavalier and Grenadiers. The first is that the window rubbers have detriorated and water has leaked into the gap between the inner and outer panel. Fortunately the main structural parts below the window pans are aluminium and largely unaffected, but the support sections for the exterior bright trim were for some reason made of steel. Rust hastened by disimilar metal corrosion has set in. In 1989 some of these metal sections were replaced by wood, but not all. Presumably the remaining ones were in good condition 28 years ago, but not now. There are various reasons why I don't think wood is the best solution so the whole lot are being replaced in aluminium - the material they would have been in older styles of Harrington coachwork. In this photo the wood and steel supports are both visible, plus the polystyrene blocks that prevented the panels from drumming.

I have been waiting for years for the restoration to start on this house in Silver Islet. I am glad it has finally begun.

Notre Dame and its temporary protective shield; tourists keep their distance, as the repair work goes forward.
HFF.
A huge surprise whilst out for a drive today, this Belgian-registered Capri has been in the Edinburgh area for a couple of years. It was originally a Spanish car, and has undergone major restoration in the hands of it's current owner, who much to my surprise was English!
After three years of restoration that covered the 150-year old dome of the Capitol in scaffolding, the $60 million project was completed this week.
Workers had to repair 1,300 cracks and fix or replace cast-iron ornaments.
One goal of the project was that it be finished in time for the presidential inauguration in January.
Now let's wait for the congress that will fill the exquisite shell - it is up to them to truly justify the expenditure!
