Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It was so lovely spending time with my little granddaughter Bree last Saturday afternoon. She had been sick and was a bit stuffed up but she coped like a champ. She is such a strong bodied little thing all she wants to do is hold your hands and pull herself up to stand. When I …
Everyone (myself included) has been whittering on about Mercury and communication issues. I have been hit with it this week with what seems like a million paper cuts, not deadly but annoying AF! I ordered from one supplier and one of the items that arrived was broken, so they compensated me. Then I noticed that …
Even though we live by the sea, we are surrounded by mountains and we do not get an actual 'sundown' with a sun slipping into the ocean on the horizon like you see in romantic films. But on Sunday night when I was sitting on the back patio I looked up at the sky behind …
Time flies by so quickly, I also find that the older one gets, the more it seems to accelerate. I was ill with my stomach for 3 weeks so avoided everyone in case of germ transfer, then Caitlin was having a visit with her dad and brother for a week, and the next thing you …
This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …
This week I was sitting outside on my back patio and my eye caught movement above me and when I looked up I saw this tiny black feather slowly drift down and land on my knee. The patio is under a roof so I do not know how it dropped down from above me. I …
Typical of the Mother City, the weather has been erratic all week. We had several days of really severe winds. Then we had several days of intense heat, it was 31℃ on Tuesday. That evening I sat outside at the back and took advantage of the weather finally cooling off a bit. The cats and …
I love Jell-O. Or jelly, depending on where you are from. Here in South Africa and the UK it is jelly and when I finally went to the doc on Thursday and he said I must go onto clear liquids for a few days, the idea of jelly at least made me less depressed. Especially …
I am a worrier by nature and I have to really keep focused on positivity and gratitude, rather than obsessing over things that most likely will never happen. Since we got little Poppy, I have watched her leap fearlessly off of things, bounce across the garden, dash under our feet and fall over frequently. I …
This week I heard a term which really resonated with me. Once again I cannot remember where I heard it, but the theory is that the reason that we cannot see the future impact of the actions or decisions we make today is due to 'dissociation from our future selves'. So we struggle with visualising …
