Finger length conundrum

Hello and welcome ye all to this the very beginning of blogging for me, Emma Swarbrick. Named Emma's Spraff because that is what it will be. And starting at the very beginning with the 'finger length conundrum'.

This is a jar of rock...



Given to me as a end of term and leaving present from school in the summer. I am having a few issues. As my fingers do not reach to the sweets, how, yes, how am I meant to get the rock out of the bottom? Answers on a postcard (or failing that, via a comment) please.

Hi Emma

Welcome to the wonderful blogosphere.

Fill the jar with boiling water - wait for all the rock to melt. Then drain the jar into a shallow container. Stair the mixture, then freeze it.

This should leave you with a delightful rock ice lolly.

That's the best I've got.

Welcome Chris! Now I have an international readership too, Mike!

That's always an option. I'm looking at finger extensions at the moment though...
