Disatisfaction

Monday, January 14th, 2008

The first juggling session of the year has come and gone. And it was terribly unsatisfying.

Lizzah informed me that she’s got herself a job in Hampshire and will be leaving me bereft of female companionship. I’m already feeling vulnerable and abandoned.

Alby and me juggled do-able stuff remarkably shittily, even considering we haven’t done anything since the end of November. And Alby wussed out awfully early on in the evening meaning we practiced neither 9 nor back-to-back.

Useless.

More positively, I do enjoy manic seven club singles. And I managed a run of four clubs in the 40′s which I think it adequate after such a long break. And we tried 8 clubs on singles and it felt infinitely more do-able than it did with Stoney a couple of months ago.

But still; I’m discouraged.

Satisfaction

One of the most deeply satisfying things I have found to do in this world is to ride over dropped curbs, or drain covers, or the like. Every so often (and more regularly than you might think) you get one that’s completely flush, despite outward appearances, and you roll over it as if there was nothing there at all.

It’s marvellous.

On my ride to work I roll over one drain cover and two dropped curbs that are simply wonderful and make me love my bike.
