Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I worked last week's public holiday so that this weekend I had a 4 day weekend but it has been far from relaxing. I woke on Monday to messages from my mom's friend's daughter that my Mom's car had been hit by a girl who ran a red light. Mom has very bad osteoporosis …
Wednesday was voting day for the local elections in South Africa. The election results were brilliant at highlighting that the ANC is losing their stronghold on the masses. This wasn't the final figs shown below as the ANC did hold onto Joburg. I just couldn't find a better graphic. The EFF did brilliantly as newcomers …
I've lived a nomadic life. I was born in Georgia, on the south-east coast of America and when I emigrated to South Africa the first time I had been living in LA on the west coast for 7 years prior, so I have many moves between the 2 coasts. I have lived all over South …
This week passed by in the blink of an eye. The international news has been full of tragedy and senseless death. In one day my twitter feed was full of a stream of shocking events. Then I open my email and it was also full of various pleas: to shut down horrific zoos, to stop …
The last few weeks have been incredibly hard. Last Saturday was Pierre's funeral. The sermon was mostly in Afrikaans for the benefit of Retha's parents and Pierre's mom who had all driven down to Cape Town.

I can't believe it is over a week since I fell ill and yet I am still sick. My head is so congested. But the show must go on. After work on Monday I was faced with my lack of pot roast for dinner thanks to naughty Navajo and had to come up with a …
Last Monday seemed to come round so quickly as it was just a regular two day weekend. It had started to get chilly so I was happy to have Sunday's leftover soup for lunch. I got in early to a stunning sunrise outside my office window. As we hadn't done a proper weekly shop …
After 4 lovely days off I was back at work on Tuesday to over 100 emails, 6 documents to review and issues on two of my projects. No chance of easing in gently to my 4 day work week. So that evening I only got home at 7pm, exactly 12 hours after I had left …
It was lovely to have my husband return home on Monday last week. He wasn’t gone very long, he only slept away 4 nights. We had a dog walker for Navajo and Charlie brought a friend one evening who offered to walk the Poms and then Caitlin walked them once so even the lil ones …
