Warning! As you learn to Juggle....

....be careful not to bore the pants off your friends!

OK, so you are really pleased with your progress but be careful! Your friends may enjoy a 20 second demonstration of your new found skills but any more than that and...

You know what it's like. What about when you go out without the children? You are in just adult company for the first time in months and all a couple of friends can talk about is the colour of their baby's poo. Boring!

It's the same with Juggling (and if I am honest, in my family it's the same with Squidoo), you may find the whole process of developing your Juggling skills totally fascinating but everyone else may not!

Chris Bliss

He may only be juggling three balls but Chris Bliss is doing it in time to The Beatles. It is great the way the tempo changes as the Abbey Road track Golden Slumbers runs into Carry that Weight to provide a change of tempo.
