Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
My friends and family often have a laugh about 'Lisa's World' which consists of what I see with my bad vision. On Tuesday I was sitting in the pool and I spotted what looked like a screen of some sort. Was it a camera? A listening device? Who would be interested in what two geriatric …
I had such a wonderful weekend last week! Firstly, my darling husband was home. Then on Saturday I saw my friend Annette who has been in my life for about 35 years. We met in George when our sons were best friends and our husbands worked together. We have stayed in touch through various relationships, …
Last weekend Norm did a lot of prep for a trip to Switzerland. He was up on Sunday and ready to go to the airport when he received an email from his hotel and noticed they referred to different dates. Luckily this triggered him to check his tickets and see that he flew on Monday, …
We had so much fun and a lot of chaos during our visit to George in the Western Cape. I flew down with my daughter Caitlin and her daughter Bree on Friday after work. Bree was so good on the flight, barely made a peep and happily chomped on our Chicken Tikka sandwiches (the best …

A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …
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 …
Do you ever have one of those days where it seems every thing is coming at you all at once and nothing goes smoothly? Monday before last, Norm had booked the plumber and the electrician to come and I had booked Chichi to come and clean and Kim to come and work in the garden. …
I had a surreal experience this week. Last Sunday was Father's Day and I posted a tribute to my Dad who died before my children were born. I sat thinking about him a lot over Sunday and Monday, wishing that I had videos of him to show my kids and grandkids and sad that I …
