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.

Jacob has developed his reading because of the wide array of children's books found in the library. To my delightful surprise, he now regularly reads kids' pocketbooks at home.

We love to go to the local library where members can borrow up to 25 books at a time. VHS, music CD's and movies (mostly educational) are also available. They have around 15 computers where internet surfing is free except for e-mail and chat, these they charge for AuD2.10 per half hour, yikes!

View of the Yarra River at about 4 pm. The winter season has officially started and it gets quite dark early these days.

Still more snapshots of the Business District.
