All the gold reserves in the country have been melted down and are as I type been installed in any lavatory the Queen is likely to visit, the palace has informed Ireland that the exact timing of her bowel movements is not a science but we have left nothing to chance…
So it’s a lovely day, in fact this could be our summer. This could be it. Gone in the blink of a half closed eye. And what better way to spend a sunny day than sprawled out on a checkered blanket with a picnic basket and some friends.

Architect Didier Faustino created this swing set out of a converted advertising billboard for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture. Here’s a link to a little more info.
