Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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's week 3 in the Kitten household. That is - 3 weeks of following the Banting Real Meal Revolution way of eating. I was at the point of why am I depriving myself discouraged thinking as after a quick initial weight loss of 6kgs I hit a plateau which lasted a week. Walking into our office break room …

I'm still not sure if my attitude changed or what happened, but this was the calmest, most easy going Christmas I have ever hosted. It was also one of my best, I was so well prepared and I'm the sort who stresses about things being out of control, so maybe that was what lay as …
I am so organized that I didn't need to go to the shops or leave the house from Saturday until Tuesday. I'm normally so busy that I actually started to develop a bit of cabin fever. That only leads to mischief. Norm and I decided to do ear candling which is defined as: Ear …
I had my manicurist booked to come round on Thursday at 5 as the courier was booked for 4.30-5pm to deliver my FNB credit card as it expires in a few weeks. They had said I need proof of address and my ID. I had a call during the time they were booked but they …
