Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
The weather last weekend was hot but the heat was tempered by the insane winds we were having. The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn. I spaced out and it was just …
Caitlin and Bree and I are flying down to George today for Lily's 'Sprinkle' which is what you call a celebration of your second child. Apparently they can use their siblings left overs and only deserve a tiny head wetting. This is sarcasm before anyone gets offended. In fact I was recently told that my …
As a person who loves fancy dress, Halloween has always been my favourite holiday. It is only the last year or two that Norm and I have not had a party or at least attended one. As well as my love of dressing up, I am always conscious that this time of year the veil …

I mentioned in my last post that I was going for derma blading, but after chatting to my skin therapist, we opted for a light peel and a session with the dermapen instead.

It is just unbelievable how much renovation disrupts your home, your routines and your mental state. My mental state is very much influenced by disorganisation. I know where everything is (usually in my desk) and not having things easily locatable was doing my head in. Norm put in the desk drawers on Sunday which certainly …
It is stress or change which drives most growth. Kim, the guy who helps in the garden, was here and we discussed how to manage the tree by the pool where the roots are cracking the pavement. He said we should just cut the whole tree down. He said that if we cut off a …
I keep seeing people posting threads about 'what weird thing did you do as a kid you thought was 'normal' but was absolutely due to neurodiversity'? So many things I have not thought about in years are bubbling up to the surface. I am trying to be like water and imagine my mermaid self , …
This week has been absolute chaos and disarray. The only consolation is that we chose this chaos and the end result will be worth it. We had a team of builders arrive on Monday and they made wonderful progress! The bathroom feature wall tiles were up the first day and the tiny powder room sink …
