Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
When observant as only someone who is slightly obsessed can be, you can learn a lot about your subject of interest. I have a tendency to fill in the gaps between knowledge with my own imagination. Unfortunately for Norm he has to hear my theories about life. I am obsessed with birds, past the normal …
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, …
It is hard to believe that it is already almost September and therefore almost my birthday! I am turning 65 on the 3rd of September, so I will officially be a pensioner. I made several suggestions of things I desire and Norm says it sounds more like a Scavenger hunt than a birthday list. A …

On Tuesday night I was howling in the middle of the night. I have had sleep paralysis issues for decades. What happens varies slightly from one episode to another but basically I am unable to move and I am terrified. What is causing the terror has a few different manifestations, one is a haggard old …
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 …
The rain was constant last weekend. On Sunday morning I lay in bed listening to the pouring rain watching TikTok videos and laughing over posts on threads until after 11am. Norm brought me two rounds of cappuccinos in my favourite cup. Eventually I got up and showered and I packed my suitcase for my flight …
