My Late Childhood/Early teens

Hey Hey - I'm back again.

How are you all? I'm great! You wanna know why? Because I'm going to revisit apart of my late childhood this morning. I'm going to watch The Saddle Club. Ha ha, I know it seems a bit weird, an eighteen year old watching a show for children but I haven't watched it for ages and I feel like watching it.

Back when I was about ten to twelve I spent most of my time Saddle Club obsessed. I read one Saddle Club book a week or more and managed to read about three hundred of them in about two years! I got up early to watch it on t.v. before I went to school, I had posters on my wall and I played Saddle Club games on the Internet. I even had Saddle Club TOYS! You getting the idea yet? I was Saddle Club crazy! I was the biggest Saddle Club fan ever!

If I haven't yet convinced you of how Saddle Club nutty I was, this will; I could tell you about every single character, I could say yes or no to a book if I have read it or not out of the three hundred Bonnie Bryant had written, just by looking at the name.

I lived in Katherine at the time (that's in the Northern Territory, about a three hour drive down from Darwin). I'd moved up there from Raymond Terrace in New South Wales because of my step-dad's work. It was way too hot and isolated but I dealt with it.

I had a really cool friend called Chloe. We butted heads quiet a bit because we were both so stubborn but we were best friends. She wasn't as Saddle Club crazy as I was though.
She was a year younger than me and had grown up in the NT so she was use to all the heat. Unfortunately, we lost touch when I moved to Port Hedland in Western Australia.

OK, so I wont be watching it because the stupid television I'm trying to work wont go to any channels. Which makes me sad but oh well, I can check it out next week. Or maybe I'll try again. Shall I? Okay, lets see if I can make this stubborn t.v. work. Nope, I surfed a hundred channels and they all went blue. I'll just have to see if I can find any on YouTube.

Made a card thing and sent to one of my favourite television shows called Home and Away. I've heard you get really great replies from hand written letters to signed fan cards. It's really good lately. A main character called Belle Taylor (whose played by Jess Tovey) is dying, which is really sad. And there's an investigation going on because a police officer called Angelo believes someone is Avelonie fishing and apparently that's illegal if your fishing for more than I think they said it's two per person, but someone is bringing it in by the bucket loads. We found out last night who it was. A couple of new characters have come in called Indigo and Dexter, they're brother and sister. They're cool.

I'm gonna head off now,

Be good, have fun and be safe.
