Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Last Saturday we had a huge rain storm. I mentioned that our drum rehearsal was cancelled and then Caitlin messaged to say she was going to pop by for a chat. I had not seen her in a while so it was good to catch up with her and hear about what is happening in …
I was so happy to be able to fly to George to see Lily, Trevor, Josh and Amelia. Josh's mom Jackie is home at the moment and it was lovely to get to spend time with her too. We are very similar in so many ways. Josh and Lily picked me up from the airport …
In my last post I mentioned attending soul circle, but I did not tell you that several people told me that my energy is completely different than when I first attended a year ago. Apparently I was a ball of nervous energy then, I think someone called me a 'bumblebee' which makes me giggle. Someone …
I have quite a few visual challenges in that I am very myopic (i.e. 'near-sighted') as well as I have an eye disease which affects my vision, but another challenge is that I am colour blind. My Dad used to call it 'colour ignorant' because we do see colour, we just do not always know …
Norm and I ended up having a lovely Sunday last week, even though we had no plans to do anything at all. I had been wanting to go to the Under the Trees Market in Constantia for ages but we are terrible about getting organised and out of the house on weekends. We decided the …
I mentioned in last week's post about the taxi strikes and the resulting drama and damage around Cape Town. This week has been full of drama as well. So many people are unable to get to work, the shelves in the shops are bare. Many people are walking far for minimal food as there is …
Last weekend was great for catching up with my social groups after my month in George. I saw so many of my pals either on Saturday, Sunday or both! I mentioned my Soul Circle group on Saturday in last week's post. On Sunday I met 'L', a woman who is here for work for a …
As much as I loved being down in the Garden Route with my SIL, daughter and granddaughter for a month, it is a long time to be away from my home, my pets and my husband. I cannot remember when Norm and I were apart this long. Norm flew down on Monday and then we …
We have all noted how time seems to have no meaning when there is a baby in the house. Lily has to feed Amelia around the clock and sometimes it seems like we do not know what day it is. In fact, in our Wednesday morning stand up I said 'Happy Friday!' which got me …
On the night I arrived in George, on our way home from the airport, we thought we saw the North Star. It was reflecting so brightly that I thought it was actually the moon, but it was a full moon that night, not a crescent and I could see Mr Moon on the other side …
