Pot-Pot-Pottereeeeeee!

Ok, today was great fun, don't get me wrong. But there is a bittersweet taste in my mouth as I write this that isn't coming from my Tiger beer (which is actually bitter and sweet).

Today I tried my hand at some pottery classes, presuming I would naturally be a pottery star. I am not a natural pottery star. No chance.

In my usual independant (read: arrogant) manner, I refused instruction, insisting I wanted a more 'natural' look to my creation. I was met with a dissatisfied look from the instructor and I clucked my tongue at him for doubting me. Little did I know. Little indeed.

I said "natural".
He thought "douche".

Who was right? You be the judge:


I'm not going to put a picture of the finished product on here, because its for my mum and she reads this blog.
Safe to say, it is a creation (much like many of us) that only a mother could truly love. 

I'll try and get back into it when I get home though, if only so that I can communicate with my dead lover who dances really well. Ha ha. Ha.
Ha. 

Kidding. I think you need mad pottery skills and a pixie cut to be a medium. Neither of which I have.

I can see there is a lot of LOVe and not too much skill here. Do you know there is a pottery wheel at the Roo?? No excuse, great things are expected of you, when you return. xxx
