Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
On Tuesday night I was howling in the middle of the night. I have had sleep paralysis issues for decades. What happens varies slightly from one episode to another but basically I am unable to move and I am terrified. What is causing the terror has a few different manifestations, one is a haggard old …
The weather has led to a lot of people being sick at the moment so I tried to get a flu shot but there are none available. Chichi came to work on Monday and as soon as she spoke I could hear the congestion. Norm popped on a face mask and drove her home. It …
I had a message from my Maternal Grandmother this week. That might be normal for many of you but mine passed away over 20 years ago. I had seen the most amazing pictures of a garden with a variety of beautiful, unusually coloured irises and it made me think of my Grandmother who loved irises. …
Even though I know that the neurodiverse are more prone to accidents, I still am amazed at the level of chaos that befalls me just going about my day. Last Sunday Norm and I had to go to the mall. We had been going to do our mall errands on the same day as we …
I'm always more pleased to receive gifts that show someone thought about the things that interest me, rather than gifts that they picked up at the chemist on the 'Mother's Day' / 'Valentines Day' marketing section on the shelves.

I mentioned that last weekend was another three day weekend and I just wanted to say that I had such a lovely time. I needed a good break from reality and I felt completely renewed. A friend had invited me to join her and a friend of hers, but she said I could let her …
The difference in my life between last weekend and this weekend is like night is to day. Last weekend I was surrounded by noisy, energetic, sticky small humans and this weekend I woke up with a Pomeranian on my head. Last Sunday I woke to the usual sounds of the kids shrieking with either laughter …
The rain was constant last weekend. On Sunday morning I lay in bed listening to the pouring rain watching TikTok videos and laughing over posts on threads until after 11am. Norm brought me two rounds of cappuccinos in my favourite cup. Eventually I got up and showered and I packed my suitcase for my flight …
I've written often about how hard it is to make friends as an adult. I think if you are lucky enough to have 'lifetime' friends, there is nothing better. This is why it makes me so happy that both of my adult daughters are away for a weekend with girlfriends who have been in their …
Having four days off of work with no obligations was fabulous. However, before the long weekend ended I once again had excess responsibility foisted on me. By that I mean, Norm's chores. Yes, I am a Princess. Before he went away Norm treated me to a gorgeous lunch at the new Little Fox. When we …
