Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This has been a week huntyyyy! Norm only returned from Qatar on Monday so I was on my own last weekend. I was so tired that I just hibernated. I was harbouring a lot of anxiety and stress about the phone call from HR the Friday afternoon advising my contract ends at the end of …
I have a few odd 'things' when it comes to 'performers'. I do not watch magicians. I find them unimpressive. I am not a fan of comedians as most of them mistake cruelty for comedy. The only exception is the comedy which is based on truth. Anything that makes me nod along and relate to, …
Superheroes have a lot to answer for. Even old school knights were often pictured with a cape wafting heroically around them in the wind. We talk about someone 'caping' to mean defending someone indefensible. We have been conditioned to expect a man to come and save us from all of our dilemmas. Even I do …
We have a family 'joke' that every time Norm travels out of the country there is some drama or catastrophe. There were a few dramas this week which would normally be dealt with by Norm, but with him not here I had to be both Lisa and Norm! I mentioned in a previous post about …
Yesterday was such an eventful day that my post is a wee bit delayed. Usually I write a bit at the end of the day as well so that I do not have to try and remember what I did, but this week I did not do that so I hope I do not mix …

One of my key memories with my Grandmother is the time we spent in the garden. Or 'the yard' as she called it, despite her house sitting on 20 acres of land. My Grandmother Rena was full of superstitions and 'old wives tales' and I wish I had taken the time to write them all …
I have had such a brilliant week! I mentioned that my daughter and granddaughter were staying with us so that she could be here to support her sister with her new baby. I have been looking after Amelia Ray when Lily goes to Caitlin's and she and I have had such fun. We have read …
Cape Town is such a place of extremes. This time it was the weather! This Saturday it is hot and summery and last Saturday the weather was horrendous in Hout Bay. Last Saturday Norm and the visitors took off about 9ish for Hermanus where the Annual Whale Festival was occurring. The thing about Cape Town …
This has been such a busy week! First of all, we still have our overseas visitors with us until next Monday. Last Monday I had to go back to work and Norm took his guests up Table Mountain. Apparently everyone in the entire province also decided to go at that time and Norm had to …
