Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It was lovely to have Norm there when I woke last Sunday after being away. We had a slow morning as Norm was still tired from the flight. We finally headed out for lunch at noon. We decided for a change to try Deli Delish in Hout Bay. We used to go there often but it's changed …
This week was my second week with Norm away. He spent a week in Switzerland on a consulting contract and the second in the UK on personal business. I missed him terribly. The girls were brilliant support and we had someone to walk Navajo every day. But I still missed my other half. But we …
I am a bit of a hedonist and I have always found a lot of pleasure in eating lovely tasting food and yet I've never really been someone who regularly cooked. I could, I just didn't. Especially when working late. Now that we have changed our lives I get pleasure from cooking when I have …
The nights are drawing in and the sun is setting earlier in the evenings. Some mornings I leave while it's still dark outside. It's getting cooler, the cats are now cuddling up with us in the evenings. Saturday evening we rented Rock The Kasbah. It had a brilliant cast with Bill Murray, Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, …
The older I get the more annoyed I get with noise. People chewing, people tapping pens or fingernails on desks, people who read their emails or code out loud. People who bang the spoon against the sides of the cup when they stir their tea as stridently as Quasi-bloody-modo ringing that bell. I'm like …
Sunday evening I joined friends for dinner and I wore my other pair of new jeans. So comfy but they fit properly. It is nice to not keep tugging at my waist. We were meeting up at the V and A Waterfront to send off our friend Caroline who is moving to the UK. …
I've now lost about 11-12kgs, my clothes are swimming on me. We are still sticking to low carb. Last Sunday I cooked a silverside beef roast in the crock pot in a tin of tomato and a box of organic broth. I would normally cook my pot roast in cream of mushroom soup with …
Sometimes nothing except a greasy burger will satisfy you. I felt like that last Sunday. To take the place of normal fries I made chips from sweet potatoes, cooking them in the oven in coconut oil. Sweet potato are on the orange list but a small serving is fine. To make the burgers we puréed …
This week hurtled by again. How can it be March?? I'm still not in the routine of writing '2016'. I'm about 10.5 kgs down 2 months into our sugar free, low carb lifestyle change. It takes effort. There was no organization this week. We took it day by day. Last Sunday our friends Retha and …
Timing is everything. The smallest millisecond can alter the course of a life. It's almost as if the universe has an expected daily target for how long I spend in traffic. And 15 minutes can make a world of difference. Thursday I decided I was going to leave by 7 and I was at my …
