Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This week my Rabbit Hole was nature vs nurture. You know how you can say he is an extrovert or an introvert? She is socially awkward or she is this or that in comparison to their partner, regarding "opposites attract". I think for a relationship to work you have to have some polarity and some …
I once asked a teacher 'what is trauma? at what level of pain do you go to in order to know what is important enough to document?' We were creating a 'Descansos' which I have written many posts about, so you can either do a search for the word in the search field on my …
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 …
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 …

Superheroes have a lot to answer for. Even old school knights were often pictured with a cape wafting heroically around them in the wind. We talk about someone 'caping' to mean defending someone indefensible. We have been conditioned to expect a man to come and save us from all of our dilemmas. Even I do …
Yesterday was such an eventful day that my post is a wee bit delayed. Usually I write a bit at the end of the day as well so that I do not have to try and remember what I did, but this week I did not do that so I hope I do not mix …
On Monday I had a session with my Neurodiversity Therapist. We talked a lot about how our 'quirks' are interpreted as other things and often not identified as symptoms of neuro-diversity. Afterwards I was thinking about how one of my primary stims is twirling my hair. My hair is very thin in one patch from …
Friends know that I am frog-o-phobic and we have a horrendous situation going on at the moment. We have a toad somewhere in the house. How do we know? Toad poop. If you know toad poop, then you are never mistaken about the origin of that poop. It has no sphincter marks like normal poop …
