Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Last week was one of those weeks where you feel like your life is one monotonous rotation of work, home, bed, and then the cycle starting over again the next day. But this week was packed full of all manner of random diverse activity. Work was again hectic with me going off at 7am and …
I discovered a new addiction. I tried a new pizza from Massimo's, but as I am usually a bit picky about sausage I only ventured to try half. I had a half Pancetta and half Hot Latina. But I wish I had been brave enough to go full Caliente as it was divine! It's the one …
I have blogged before about the disparity between the various socio-economic groups in South Africa, it is a part of our every day lives but sometimes it rises up and slaps you so hard in the face that your head reverberates with the force of it. It's been a busy week, work is still long …
This has been a few weeks full of a lot of drama. Both negative and positive. Last week a young man named Dede Chikala was murdered in the township in Hout Bay. He was Congolese and was in South Africa studying. This was such a tragedy. This is now the second stabbing in the same …
People say that you will never meet your true love in a bar, but conversely they also say that nothing can keep soul mates apart.

I feel like I haven't blogged in ages, but work has me so exhausted that I haven't had the energy to go anywhere interesting enough to want to tell you about it. On Tuesday I had promised Norm that I would go to Spiro's open mic night but by the time I finally got home …
Gender has become such a high profile subject lately and people are being exposed to terms they never knew, much less were exposed to in everyday media. With former manly sports hero and legend Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner transitioning on reality TV and coming out as transgender and appearing on the Vanity Fair cover looking stunning and amazing, thus …
This week passed in a blur with me doing overtime every day. We are developing a new Business Rules Engine and testing as we develop, we are using an agile methodology so it's a constant cycle of change! It's hard to manage. I even worked today, I was in the office by 8am and worked …
Winter is well and truly here. It's been peeking through sporadically but it's rained and been so cold all week. It's impossible to use an umbrella due to the hectic winds in Cape Town. Even with a hooded raincoat one gets drenched getting to and from the car. Winter is not pleasant. And then we …
