Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This week I had one of those Golden Thread enlightenment moments where I realized how all of my past lives relate to each other. It's the Celtic thread at the root which ties them all together. I detest Rosemary. I recently discovered that an old Appalachian folk tale involves planting Rosemary by the door to …
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 …
Our family have now been on the Banting diet for 6 weeks and there are many noticeable changes in our bodies. The obvious one for me being the 8.5-9kgs weight lost, but we all have noticed other things, loss of cellulite, stomach bloat going, our dry hair and skin is better, my joint pain went, …
I sometimes feel as if my life is just an endless round of the same activities, my own personal Groundhog Day. Wake at 6, up at 6.30, try to leave by 7 (but always leave later), spend ages in traffic, walk to my office, work for 9-10 hours, walk to car, drive home, cook dinner, …
Last Sunday it got up to 33 degrees but as I took Saturday off from cooking due to the heat I had a lot of cooking to do. I popped a small gammon in the slow cooker. Usually I cook my gammon in coke, brown sugar and pineapple but none of those are allowed with …
It seems Summer may properly be on the way, or that Spring has properly sprung? Whatever is happening I'm loving the warmth & sunshine! All of the greenery has flourished, the roadsides and gardens blooming. It's been fabulous to go to work in bright light and come home with a few hours of sunlight …
This week flew by even though I've reduced my hours at work. I've been so good about cooking every night until the weekend (no way I'm cooking all weekend). The Chicken dish I made last Sunday night turned out beautifully somewhat to my surprise. It was a complete invention and I worried the coconut milk would overwhelm …
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 …
