Back to the drawing board

I did ,I actually did it- after four aborted attempts ,I threw a half-decent,sort of symmetrical, even-sided, pot.It was about the size you could put a small tub of herbs in .I stood it on a tile ,and went away to write my name on a bit of paper,to put inside it ,before I put it in the drying cupboard..By the time I got back ,it had gone .Some-one had thought it was their trash ,so squidged it up and put it in the re-cycling bin ! We went hysterical .
