With ever passing day I'm getting better and better

Juggling was back on tonight - hurrah. Apparently its absence last week was a blip due to the festival. Rather strangely though it appeared to be an almost entirely new crowd of people there tonight, which, coupled with the remains of some decorations for a cabaret last Saturday, gave me cause for a bit of a double take as I walked in - for a moment I wasn't sure I was in the right place. Attendance always fluctuates a bit and there are only a small number of regulars, but it was still unusual to see so many new faces. Thankfully there were a couple of excellent contact jugglers in attendance which gave me opportunity to sit back and gawp for a bit. Watching others others that good makes me question my own skills a bit - it's really extremely hard to be objective when trying to gauge your own performance, even with a mirror to work with. Seeing other practice does make me appreciate just what drew me to this particular discipline in the first place, though, as well as giving me pause to wonder just how I compare.

Not as unfavourably as would have been the case 6 months ago, I think I can say with some confidence. And a couple of the new bodies I gave a brief lesson to seemed impressed with my talents which, secretly, I was rather please by.
