Bird-feeding during the summer months. Enjoying one
of the hundreds of bike trails scattered around
Melbourne's suburbs. I had to ride Orly's bike as
Luke is still learning how to ride with his help.

Alie at work. She is a Trainee Dental Nurse at a nearby clinic here. The photo is a bit blurry, sorry.

You can read Kitchie's story in this newsletter. She's the one on the farthest left in the photo.

Today, a cooking competition was held at the William Angliss Institute of TAFE where Kitchie goes to school once a week as part of her apprenticeship program. She joined the competition for the sheer fun of it and guess what? She won 1st Place for the 1st Year Apprentice students! Her winning dish was called "Stuffed Chicken Breast with White Wine Sauce and Mashed Potato with Onion & Bacon" as seen in the photo above. She was shocked to find herself winning the Gold Medal for the 1st Year Apprentice Students. Winners are lined up to join another competition to be held at another venue. She's quite excited and looks forward to it.

Kitchie started her apprenticeship in Commercial Cookery this Feb. Here you can see her in her induction to knife skills.

This was where Kitchie worked for the last few months as a kitchen crew. Taken during the last week of Kitchie's work at Hungry Jack's Fastfood Outlet before she starts her 1st year chef apprenticeship this February 2007.
