Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Last Sunday was taken up with showhouse visits as it has been for the last month. It is rather exhausting. At least it was a stunning sunny day and it was good to be out and about. At least we had a long lie in bed watching the news and drinking coffees before we headed …
This week has been very heavy going for me emotionally. My heart is heavy with sadness and uncertainty. Once again this week we have had protest action in Hout Bay. Starting on Tuesday there were roadblocks and riots going on in Hangberg, the opposite side of the Bay from where I live. The protest was …
Once again our lives in Cape Town were touched on by protest action. Tuesday we were notified by our client that there was a risk of protest action at the University where we are based from Wednesday to Friday.

I have had such an eventful fun weekend. Friday we had a quiet night in and just chilled out. Caitlin was out with friends and we just ordered take aways. I knew I had a busy weekend ahead and did not want to be tired on Saturday as I was up early to be at …
Working for 2 different clients can lead to confusion. I cannot operate on auto pilot in the mornings, I have to think - 'where am I working today'? I have one client in the Foreshore in the city on Monday and Tuesday and my other client where I work from Wednesday to Friday is in …
