It seems I have this strange ability to get better at my talents by not practising for a long time! Take piano for example. I would practise and practise and make only minimal progress and improvement, but after a few months of not playing a song I would sit down at the piano and suddenly play it better than ever! So it also seems with juggling. It was many months ago that I started teaching myself to juggle, close to a year ago even. It took a lot of practise to get anywhere, but slowly, slowly the number of consecutive catches increased. I think my absolute highest record may have been 18. Well here I am a long time later without even touching the juggling balls. I get back from the beach one afternoon, and with three tennis balls in my hands I think to myself "I wonder..." And voila! I can suddenly juggle! I didn't count how many I caught as I wasn't expecting such success, I couldn't believe that I just kept going! But my rough estimate is about 30. Just like that! Weird.
