Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
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 …
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. My husband Norman and I are classic examples of the latter and a contradiction to the former of those 'sayings'. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We met almost 20 …
Another week rattled by. Work is still intense but as it was school holidays this week, the morning traffic was much less. I left a bit later and therefore got a few more minutes of sleep. I do love the morning light, the mountains all lit by the dawn, the sky just starting to pinken. …
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 …
One of the few advantages of so much load shedding is that it gives me a legit excuse to go out for dinner. Not that I've ever needed an excuse, but still, it's nice to be legit. We are in the middle of being load shed as I write this, at least WordPress is still …
Living in a tourist town and having such a constant stream of visitors I thought I was familiar with every bit of Hout Bay. Today I discovered several delights I hadn't yet experienced. We had spotted a lady selling her outside seating, cushions and table on the Hout Bay 2nd hand site. We loved the …
I am so lucky to live in a fishing village where we can get amazing fresh seafood. My daughter Caitlin has just become pescetarian (eats only fish and seafood, veg and dairy.) The rest of us have sort of followed suit just as it is simpler. We have had a week of Pescetarian Heaven. I …
