Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
With Norman still away last weekend, I had nothing much planned as I had the animals to look after. I was booked for a facial Saturday afternoon and when it was time for me to leave for my 1:30pm appointment, Finn refused to come inside. I knew I was only going to be gone for …
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 …
This past week was a bit transformative for me. 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. A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …
Every time I experience an instant manifestation, it always surprises me so much, even though it happens quite frequently. Last Saturday was the Women's Group I had mentioned attending. The meeting is held in Berg en Dal estate and the host's home is right up at the top, backing onto the mountain. I was sitting …
It is so easy to take miraculous things for granted. We often live our lives in a predictable pattern, wake at the same time, eat the same things, watch the same TV shows, shop in the same places, relate to people the same ways and go to bed at the same time. I try so …
I've mentioned how happy Amelia gets when one of us understands what she is trying to say and I thought about that and realised that being understood is what many of us strive for in our lives, even once we are adults. Maybe that is why I relate to Amelia so, the lifelong misunderstanding of …
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 …
While I was in George, I loved having my morning coffee outside watching the birds while Amelia pottered about. There were so many lovely birds we do not see in Cape Town. There was a rainbird aka a Burchell's Coucal, which makes the funniest sounds as a warning of rain. There was the black African …
