Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
I continue to be observant of Mother Nature reaching out and contacting me. In my prayers on Monday when I said "Thank you for the birds" a bird sitting on the gate gave a loud squawk. When I put my hands out, palms upwards, and turned towards the West and gave thanks for the rain, …

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. …
Usually Cape Town has very low humidity; it has crisp, hot days during the summer. It can get blistering hot, but generally the humidity is low. This week has felt so humid. Every day since Monday I had been convinced that it was going to rain, but the rain I could feel never arrived. We …
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 …
