I was a pretty mean marble player...I loved it...the school I went to was St Joachims in Vic Park although I went to other schools this one I spent most of my time at...... it seemed to me that marbles were mainly played by the boys...but anytime I could I would join in.
I loved skipping and was really good at that as well the faster the better and I loved coming in from the side and slipping out on the other side in succession with other kids...I loved sport and was pretty good at anything I put my mind to....I played defence in Netball always defence and I so wanted to be goalie.......I was also good runner, the only time my Dad came to the Schools Sport Day, I came first in everything........My Mother didn't drive so she never came to any sport day.
Now looking back I can see that that would have been hard for My Dad to come, as he would have had to leave work. And money was always scarce.
I could never flick the darn things, in fact sport was not my thing at all, but I was excellent at skipping, hula hoop and limbo xxx
