[The President of Mozambique, Armando Emilio Guebuza at Aras an Uachtarain yesterday with President Higgins and defiant students from Our Lady’s Well, Mulhuddart National School]
I’m not sure that we chose the best week,
To receive a guest from Mozambique,
With so much going wrong,
We can’t claim that we’re strong,
And not on a long losing streak.

A concept for a new type of custom-fit DIY slipper by designer Satsuki Ohata who sez:
This prototype is using PVC, which hardens at 200~300 degrees Celsius (392~572 degrees Fahrenheit). This time I used my foot mold instead of my foot. I am currently developing a kit which allows Fondue Slipper to make at home. Soon this new kit will be complete and you will be able to make your own Fondue Slipper that fits your foot perfectly. You can wear Fondue Slipper both inside and outside. It can also be used as slipper by folding the heel, or you can wear it without folding the heel if you want to run.”
More to folly.
Thanks Neil Henderson, Ronan Casey, Dermot Ahern and Garrett Rowe.
