Well, get yourself a stick, sweeten some milk and add a bit of vanilla essence and possibly cream (if that goes in ice cream
). Put the milk in a container of some sort, put the stick in and go outside. Come back in when it's frozen, dunk it in some melted chocolate, then go back outside and you'll have your very own choc-ice.

These are Mozartkugeln. Bit like Marmite - love them or hate them. You can't go into a chocolate shop or gift shop in Austria without being bombarded with Mozartkugeln in all their varieties.

No not quite. Leapt about like loons waving and yelping and shouting hI!!! at the cameras. Some were phoning home on mobiles saying they were on the telly. You could hardly hear the report...

Yes - almost too painful to watch.
I found it bizarre looking at green grass on the screen and then snow outside - it seemed the wrong way round somehow. (Not that cricket is played in snow, but just that you expect to see the more unusual weather conditions on telly.)

All the hills here in Alton are easily snowboarding hills!
My sister just walked up a hill to get back home, to warm up her hands by the fire, before going to somewhere else for more snow! I don't understand why she is getting so cold, when the house is warm enough! 
Dandelion and Burdock. 
I've just found a place called Fryup in the North Yorkshire Moors
Just off to orchestra Christmas meal out. Hope it's a warm room.

I wonder what 'the symbolic matrix in which the I is precipitated in a primordial form before is is objectified in the dialectic of identification with the other and before language restores to it, in the universal, its function as subject' is.

Yes! That sounds right - Lacan was a psychologist... this extract is about the mirror stage (the stage of development when the baby recognises itself in a mirror... but that's about as far as I've got with it...
