Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It has been a busy week! I've swam, walked in the forest, gained a new client, spent time with my daughter and granddaughter, and started learning a new technical tool! For a housebound introvert this is a high achievement. Last weekend was hot but at least the humidity had broken from all of the rain. …
Yesterday morning when I fed the dogs I scooped up a cup of Finn's food from the giant bag which lives in the garage. I dumped the kibble in the bowl and turned around to get the mince when I spotted a scurried movement. I saw something about the size of a small pony running …
Usually Cape Town has very low humidity; it has crisp, hot days during the summer. It can get blistering hot, but generally the humidity is low. This week has felt so humid. Every day since Monday I had been convinced that it was going to rain, but the rain I could feel never arrived. We …

Every year we end up having to buy an extra suitcase for all of the Christmas gifts I have ordered for everyone, but this year we had our limit of luggage and weight. We thought we had plenty of space until the last week when we (and by 'we' I mean Norman) finished up packing …

However, we will often do anything for our children and so I violated all of those rules last Saturday. I had to park miles away, it was incredibly hot and I was dripping with sweat by …
The weather last weekend was hot but the heat was tempered by the insane winds we were having. The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn. I spaced out and it was just …
We had so much fun and a lot of chaos during our visit to George in the Western Cape. I flew down with my daughter Caitlin and her daughter Bree on Friday after work. Bree was so good on the flight, barely made a peep and happily chomped on our Chicken Tikka sandwiches (the best …
