yes you can do that, but I’m a bit worried that I’ve just added to many twitter plug ins to the blog and now I’m going to get some from of twitter storm with 100′s of things updating themselves.

I don’t know why, maybe it’s my inbuilt desire to be odd, or truly deep down I do expect one day to be discovered as a fraud and have to find a new career, but I am continuing my with my aims of getting just a bit below good at different circus skills.

a unicycle - yesterday

I can already juggle – three – consistently, I recently investigated the possibility of making this 5 which I was informed would take about 6 months if i did it every day – I probably will have a go (but not every day – so hence will never master) – but for now I’ve shifted focus to a different skill – unicycling .

I’ve been lent a unicycle for the summer; from a teacher friend, quite what a school does with unicycles I dare not ask but apparently he had a few in the school so I’ve borrowed one – only to discover I’ve not really got any room in our house or tiny yard to practice; So it’s street humiliation for me.

So tonight I was out by the front wall, constantly falling off, and nearly breaking a leg or arm every-time, while my supportive family all sat on the step and laughed; and the neighbours I can only assume added it to the list of bonkers things that family in the purple house do. In all that I did peddle around one whole time without the aid of the wall.

Working from home today – with quite a lot to do so I’ve been cranking up the volume and the BPM, Typically I don’t work to music just today I felt the need:

1. DJ Mike Gleeson – 80′s Mix - easing me into the day
2. Fat boy slim- cardiff 31st Dec 2000  – Recorded from Radio 1 on a tape!
3. Appollo440 – Mellenium Fever - I need something stronger
4. Chemical Brothers – Surrender – out of control
5. Prodigy - Music for the gilted generation – Narcotic Suite to calm me back down.
6. Divine Comedy - Best of Divine comedy – I’m Jeff Goldblum in the fly!
7. Stone Roses – the Stone Roses – I wanna be adored

we’re had a glimps into the next 6 months here in the Jump household – this week we’ve all had colds, or as the NHS would put it swine flu like symptoms.

we’re waving between it is swine flu, to it’s just a mild cold – the problem is some articles are saying that people are getting incredibly mild versions of the flu, and the NHS basically think you’ve got it if you show two or more symptoms, which include, a cough, a headache , sore joints, sneezing – so it doesn’t take much googling to convince your self.

Then again we probably haven’t had it – and we will get another cold in a week or four, and then another one in September (when the schools go back – don’t let anyone tell you home education lets you avoid term illnesses – you come into contact with enough people to catch something) – and unless one of these floors the family, and we are all on tamiflu – i suspect we will go through the process of googling flu every-time.
