Hobbies and Interests

[Dirty Duck]

I've never stuck with hobbies and I've decided to change that recently.

So when I was 19/20 I taught myself to juggle when I worked on the produce department at Sainsbury's. 3 ball cascade and a few variations. A few weeks ago I decided to pick it up again. If I imagine Sisyphus happy, then juggling is beautifully Sisyphean.

I've been doing pretty well, got consistency with a few of the 3 routines and my 4 ball fountain / synchronous fountain have improved, however it turns out I've been using objects far lighter than what's advised, 45g vs 130g, I only found this out by chance on Sunday using someone else's props so I'm looking forward to seeing any progress in the coming weeks. Also going to a meetup tonight which should be fun.

Curious to know how many people at the juggling meetup are circus folk. Report back, Wayno.

This reminds me I got a kendama for Christmas after being mesmerised by some dude's doing it at Bangface festival last year. I've made 0 progress with it and Bangface is in 2 months so I feel I've dropped the ball (har har) a bit.
