Workmen were in the process of installing several new sculptures at Lake Eola Park in Orlando, FL yesterday. This is one of them. In the foreground, you can see a model of what the final installation should look like.
Some workmen were painting a temporary wooden fence outside the soon-to-be-opened Nickelodeon store in Leicester Square, London. I liked the way the cartoon characters appeared to be peeking stealthily over the fence and checking what was going on in the world outside.

The Oakdale Workmen's Institute was built in 1917 to serve as a focus for social, educational and cultural life within the newly established coal mining community there.
The building contained a Library, Reading Room, and Committee Room on the ground floor, and two small offices for the Institute's Secretary and Manager. A Concert Hall, originally seating more than 200 people, occupied the whole of the first floor.
The Institute closed in 1987 and two years later the building in Oakdale, South Wales was dismantled and transported to St Fagans.
Why they are tearing up the sea-front at this time of year is beyond me. Rumour has it that they made a mess of it first time round.

It was a somewhat surreal moment, looking out of my window as a glorious dipping sun backlit a group of workmen on the rooftop of a house five hundred yards away. Silhouettes of British workmen, against the clock like a troupe of woodpeckers in my brain this last week with their incessant drilling, hammering and general armageddon like armory of noises as they replaced a neighbours ageing roof. And yet at that moment, silhouettes against the sunlight, I could almost forgive them.
....Almost.

She has to be restricted in where she can go to keep out of the workmen's hair. She just snuck in here through the window for a cuddle!

Having seen the success of the Clonmacnoise & West Offaly Railway in the Irish Midlands operated by Bord na Móna on the Blackwater system in the early 90's, the management of the TAE system in Co.Mayo tried a similar tourist train operation called the Bellacorick Bog Train. This venture used a restored West Clare Railway carriage hauled by dedicated locomotive no.LM123 in the same livery. The railways unique selling point was a tour of the Bellacorick Windfarm, Ireland's first. The tourist service was short lived though probably because of the remote nature of the location and I think it only ran for 3 summers 1994-96. (I would welcome confirmation of that fact by anybody with first hand knowledge).
Before the experiment with tourist operations the TAE system was no stranger to running a passenger service for its workers out onto the remote bogs where there was no road access. Ruston & Hornsby type 48DL no. LM18 (RH 242902/1946) was the oldest working Ruston on the BnM 3ft gauge networks when this shot was taken in 1993 having racked up 47 years service. It is seen in the works yard at Oweninny with a converted bus body as a bogie workmen's carriage.
Had to go shopping for meat and prescriptions so a walk with Ruby in the two local woods and met two volunteers from Geers Wood erecting our signs. Also a view over the tree tops of the second wood.
Suddenly two workmen entered the studio, trying to hustle by unnoticed with their obscure gizmos.
