Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I always think one should spoil themselves on their birthday, especially if no one else is going to. This year both my husband and my daughter were going away and were not here for my birthday. My other daughter Lily works late so I decided to organize my own itinerary of happiness, starting with booking …
I have no idea whether George Ezra fans have some collective term for themselves ala Gaga and her Little Monsters, but if they don't this is as good as any. It has a slight religious adorarative quality about it. George doesn't seem to be huge in SA, I mentioned to several people that I was …
This week flew by even though I've reduced my hours at work. I've been so good about cooking every night until the weekend (no way I'm cooking all weekend). The Chicken dish I made last Sunday night turned out beautifully somewhat to my surprise. It was a complete invention and I worried the coconut milk would overwhelm …
Recently I've had conversations with several people about self worth or related topics. Some people need to feel emotionally rewarded in some way by their job, for example being in healthcare would give you a feeling at the end of your day that you helped an ill or recovering person.

I was so organized this week. I cut down my overtime with an aim to bill only 45 hours a week. Having shopped on the weekend meant I could create a dinner for us every night and no need for take aways! As Monday was a public holiday I had cooked Eggplant Parmesan in advance, …

One of the few advantages of so much load shedding is that it gives me a legit excuse to go out for dinner. Not that I've ever needed an excuse, but still, it's nice to be legit. We are in the middle of being load shed as I write this, at least WordPress is still …
I was invited to attend the Theatre Dinner Evening at The Mount Nelson Hotel last Tuesday with my friend Retha. It's a new concept for the hotel I understand and is held at Planet Restaurant every Tuesday evening from 5 May to 9 June 2015. The evening is priced at R450 per person. ‘The Summer of 1946’ is a play …
There is an old joke that says the reason they call Cape Town ‘The Mother City’ is because it takes 9 months for anything to happen. This is generally true except this week has proven that some things can take off like wildfire. Especially, well, a wildfire. I woke in the middle of the night …
We have been so busy I have not blogged in a week and it was all go, so bear with me if I cover a lot of territory. It was my turn to host bookclub this month and the girls all came to me last Tuesday. My friend Chris has her father in law Pops …
