Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This week has been full on. Work is incredibly busy. At home, we just put in some new front lawn, we started renovating the kitchen, it is Halloween weekend and my family arrived from George. It was very bad planning with the family being here, but Norm is away soon and we have our friend …
Sometimes by protecting other people, we end up inadvertently harming ourselves. This is something that I am personally working through at the moment. It becomes a self-blame game when things work out badly for you and you realise it is because you kept quiet about things that other people did. I protected my children from …
This week I had a few moments that were so surreal that I felt like I had inadvertently fallen into a Disney film. First of all, Scene One: I told you about the discovery of Mr Ratty on my bird feeder and what appeared to be a mama and baby pair? I got a closer …
Last Friday was my Mom's birthday so we rang her and had a long chat and she sent a picture of the adorable solar light we had sent her. You see I came by my rabbit addiction quite naturally. Her friends had taken her out for lunch and my uncle had taken her out during …

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 …
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 …
