There it lies - my magical ice sculpture. Three days of freezing and careful building came to its climax tonight and I set it up outside for all to see. People kind of looked but not much was going on and it was just melting down slowly without any action. So I went to stand by it and talk to people about it.

It's important to understand that this was in no way serious, and yet the success it had was very interesting indeed. People spoke to me, played along, suggested future projects, I got a chocolate and even an offer of a poem to be written about it.

I made some stuff up about it being 'ever changing' but there is truth behind the jargon - no two groups of people ever saw the same thing twice. Some walked past six, seven, even eight times and just for today, corny as it sounds - I felt happy to have put a smile on people's faces.

That pretty much made a bad day a good one, tomorrow is Friday, so I've got to say I'm feeling pretty good these days!
