Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Sunday evening I joined friends for dinner and I wore my other pair of new jeans. So comfy but they fit properly. It is nice to not keep tugging at my waist. We were meeting up at the V and A Waterfront to send off our friend Caroline who is moving to the UK. …
Sometimes nothing except a greasy burger will satisfy you. I felt like that last Sunday. To take the place of normal fries I made chips from sweet potatoes, cooking them in the oven in coconut oil. Sweet potato are on the orange list but a small serving is fine. To make the burgers we puréed …
I've been back at work for a week now and in a routine of sorts. One resolution for this year was to try and get more sleep, so I moved my alarm to 7 rather than 6 now that the roadworks have been completed. I had gotten so relaxed over the holiday break and didn't …
I'm such a narcissistic media junky it took all of my self-restraint to stop myself from taking thousands of pics while lurking around Prince Harry when we attended the event last Sunday at Chavonnes Battery, but if one does not behave, then one does not continue to garner invites.

Today i had a moment of such deep gratitude. When it is our life we just accept it but today I had a moment where I just felt so blessed. I was sitting by the pool while the animals all chased each other and Norm repotted some plants. I just felt like I could not …
Last evening we had another evening of load shedding. For those who are unfamiliar with that term it means that Eskom, our inept parastatal electricity company, is unable to cope with the electrical demand of the country and therefore they turn off areas of the national grid, thereby freeing up electricity for other areas on …
The last few weeks have been full steam ahead. Mom had a list of things she wanted to do in the Garden Route, so we followed her requests. We went to Knysna and had a wander round the shops. Mom remembered several shops which she had been to when here years ago and most of …
Forgive me readers, it's been weeks since my last confession. I'll try and do a highlights version but it has been hectic! There was a lot of sadness when Lily had a friend die last week. He was a young lad who was beaten up after a night out in Cape Town and subsequently died. …
