Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Last Saturday I had 2 of my girlfriends around for a visit. The weather had been fine all week, but then on Sunday we woke to rain and overcast skies. I decided it was too chilly for normal humans to sit outside (I do not feel the cold). I usually make an effort if entertaining …
This week I heard someone talking about not wanting to be 'that kindergartener who thinks that their artwork is amazing while everyone else looks at it sadly'. OK maybe that sadness is only when it is a pensioner instead of a kindergartener - else it is just sparkling disappointment, or something like that. Your honour, …
South Africa has such vast open skies that sometimes you can be fooled into thinking it is warm outside because you look out the window and the sun is out and it is so bright that the light could blind you. Then you leave the house dressed in a lightweight top and flip flops and …
You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …
Last Saturday was very relaxed. I did interact with a newly identified bird, the Olive Thrush. It came down to the roof of the shed first and watched me for a few minutes. Then he dropped down onto the turf and started pecking at a piece of apple that I had given Poppy. Before she …

The weather has led to a lot of people being sick at the moment so I tried to get a flu shot but there are none available. Chichi came to work on Monday and as soon as she spoke I could hear the congestion. Norm popped on a face mask and drove her home. It …
I had a message from my Maternal Grandmother this week. That might be normal for many of you but mine passed away over 20 years ago. I had seen the most amazing pictures of a garden with a variety of beautiful, unusually coloured irises and it made me think of my Grandmother who loved irises. …
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 …
It has been a busy week! I've swam, walked in the forest, gained a new client, spent time with my daughter and granddaughter, and started learning a new technical tool! For a housebound introvert this is a high achievement. Last weekend was hot but at least the humidity had broken from all of the rain. …
