Saturday Saturday. The first day of the hebdomadend, the first day of freedom at the end of every week at give instruction. Saturday was continuously a day of great anticipation for me during my younger years. It signified non only the beginning of a weekend away from the rigours of Primary school and learning my seasons tables, but also my first real number accessible experiences. Saturday was Club Day. At around the age of 8 or 9, my Mum decided that I needed to get out into the real world and get a taste of Saturday life, and all it had to offer. So, on the advice of my much older and wiser 10 year old cousin, I chose to amount of money the local craft nine. Each Saturday morning from that day onwards, I would combine the 6 or 7 other girls in the hot, cramped Cathys Crafts store in Montmorency. For $7 a week I could samara pieces of wood shaped as teddies, or perhaps even squeeze some glitter on a nice picture for fuck offs Day. Either way it served as a war ning for the difference of my life that craft was definitely not my scene. Project after project, week in, week out, I came home bearing one more useless, awestruck testament to bad taste and craftsmanship. Mum would be gently adjuvant with kind words such as why dont you give this to Nana for Christmas? Or in other words I neer want that hideous toilet roll cover in my domicile again. Dad wad not quite so understanding. My skills with the paintbrush were often criticised, as I had not used a polyglaze or a unbiassed undercoat or a size 12 brush. Although the $7 a week had produced some memories of gluing too many sequins on my film frame, or never being able to paint flowers quite right, the time had come for me to give my craft club days away. Forever. And so it was that I found myself, hand glued to Mums, at the Little fun sign-up day. And so it was that I found myself being talked into being patriotic and write up with the valiant Montmorency, who had never y et won a club championship and are likely to never achieve this coveted goal.
