I’m so glad I spent my youth learning circus tricks

I sort of juggle as a nervous twitch

and a few weeks ago it saved me £800ish…

My lens had twisted slightly in my camera bag and hadn’t locked on

so I pulled it out of my bag, raised it to my eye, reached up to the lens to focus

and I felt the lens slip between my fingers

tumbling end over end towards the concrete

it flashed before me, my favoured lens shattering across the foot path

and in an instant

my hand slipped under it

and it landed softly in my hand

much like millions of juggling balls have many times in the past

A mate in the distance saw the whole thing, silhouetted against a street light

he came up half laughing, half in amazement

and for once, thousands of hours juggling suddenly made sense.

Pay back time all ways comes along eventually!

On a different note, springs here at last…

we’ll it was, until our heating broke tonight

so there’s a slight chill in the air.

Might be time for a nice warm bed
