Bleh. Stuff, and things. And balls :)

I seem to have let LJ slide again over the last couple of weeks. Hope I didn't miss anything too earth-shattering.

I'm still alive, walking without a cane now, although still with a copious supply of painkillers. It's nice to finally feel progress being made at an appreciable pace though - I can walk further every day before it gets too painful, which is great.

Last weekend I was at an outdoor music event, and I took my juggling balls and poi to play with. While I was there, (a) I managed to figure out Mill's Mess (w00t), and (b) a guy from BBC Radio asked me if he could 'book me'. When I explained that I wasn't a professional juggler, he looked a bit perplexed, then said "Can I book you anyway?", so I gave him one of my cards... maybe I have a new career ahead of me? ;)

I'm having a bit of a juggling obsession again at present... I'd forgotten how much more fun it is with music going, and with people wandering past and stopping to look for a bit... I guess as the weather kicks in I should try and get out to a park or something. Really need a music source though, and I can't afford any kind of decent personal stereo at present.

In other news, my sister and her husband are at my house today demolishing the back garden. They call it 'tidying', but personally I liked the trees and bushes they've killed. Oh well, they're the ones buying the place...

Juggling on the radio? Surely not?

*laughs* Oops :)

He's their outdoor events co-ordinator or something, they're doing a mini music festival in one of the local parks next weekend. He wants me to "wander around and be entertaining"...

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I'm sure you will be both entertaining and decorative.

Heh.

When my brother was a kid, he had a short, regular spot on the radio when he would phone in and do magic tricks. I seem to remember he finished the run with making an African elephant dissappear.

*Grin*



You still okay, dude?

"I'm not a professional showman", he says, handing over a card with 'Gentleman adventurer' on it.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Um, yes. A few people have commented on that since :)

well done with mill's mess... i bravely ran away from that problem to do more balls instead... before losing that to lack of practice.

There's a lot to be said for doing festival events with a performer persona. You get to meet lots of nice people while risking little psychologically as it's all done through the filter of the performer

have you started fencing again? It's a good idea :)
*grins* and juggling is even better with the glow balls. I can't juggle at all. really not at all. *g*
