I read today that we are only allowed 7kg on Virgin Blue airline we are flying with them to get over there, however Jetstar allows us 10kg. I wonder why the difference in weight ?
These hospital visits have cost us a fortune, with the flying back and forth. Luckily we don't have to pay for accommodation. We have good friends and of course the kids are there as well. Victor seems to like to stay at our friend's house more. We have the whole downstairs to ourselves and it is quiet. After the accident Victor gets really stressed and agitated with too much noise and hustle bustle, a part of the brain injury. I can't remember him being like this before. When we stay at the kid's houses you get the loud music and young adults doing what young adults do. Not the quiet you eventually want and need and appreciate as older adults ! Funny how your needs quietly change without you even knowing it.
I think that is why we just love coming back home. It is so quiet here and we don't hear any traffic either. The loudest thing we hear are the birds, the wind chime or if the kids next door get into trouble ! But even the kids next door we hardly hear because their house is on the side of the house where our toilets and laundry are.
We have to water and tend the garden for the few days that we are away. If it doesn't rain we might come home to a 'dead' garden and then I won't be happy.
