Luke discovering what happens inside a vacuum cleaner, as well as what consists of the average household dust.

Taken at the Exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's Machines at Melbourne Docklands. We could not resist taking a photo beside the greatly admired Monalisa portrait. Would have bought a Monalisa portrait, unfortunately, it was already out of stock. We didn't want to go home empty handed so we bought a copy of The Last Supper (I got the last copy on the stand)

One of Da Vinci's design of a flying machine based on the principle of flapping flight with a flexible wing. This design, one of his earliest, consisted of a wooden framework and two movable wings.

He produced many drawings of flying machines, one of which was the helical airscrew or helicopter. It was a four-winged flying machine that was designed to be driven by one person standing inside it. Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter, but an engineer, inventor and philosopher.

From the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Italy, 64 interactive models of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous machines consructed by Florentine artisans which are based on Da Vinci's famous codices are now on display at the Waterfront City, Docklands, Melbourne from July to September 2006.

Jacob and Luke in their winter school uniform. Asking them how school was, Luke found it enjoyable even though he can't understand what was being said at times. Jake's comment was that kids were so loud. They are the only Filipino in their class so they should be able to understand and speak English in a few weeks.

SALE, SALE and more SALE. Every week we receive these catalogues from different stores being distributed and left in our mailbox. Browsing through the pages and finding some items really tempting, we are heading to KMart on the first day of their July Sale and hope we can buy something we really like.
