Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I had such lovely weekends both last weekend and this weekend. After such sunny weather last weekend we woke to overcast and damp weather starting again on Monday and it has been back and forth all week ending with freezing rain this weekend. Cape Town is so quixotic! Last Sunday night I made a big …
This week crime has been predominant in the news. We read about three policemen being shot in Delft, one of the areas which has a high incidence of gang related violence. One of the policemen died and the other two were seriously injured. This happened despite the recent deployment of the SANDF (the army) to …
I suspect that I have suffered from anxiety for most of my life but I just did not have a name for it. When I moved from a tiny little town in rural Tennessee to Los Angeles in the 80's I was diagnosed with asthma because when I would drive on the motorways I …
As lovely as a long weekend is, it seems to take a week to get your internal calendar back on track. Norm and I had decided to also try to get back on track with living a low carb life again after Easter and on my first day back at work Norm welcomed me home …

I was watching a series this week where a mother and daughter were having a bit of a disagreement and the mother said to the daughter 'You think you are so strong, but it only comes off as hard.' I have heard this myself many times, I know that I am strong. I am also …
This has been another week of turmoil in South Africa. There have been protests over a few different things. Rumours are that there is another taxi strike planned for tomorrow. I will drive around the village rather than risk getting trapped like last time. Last Wednesday there was a protest against Gender Based Violence …
I recently heard on the radio that there is indeed such a thing as Man Flu. Apparently there is research which proves that men are more incapacitated by illness than women. That is the good news for you dudes lolling about clutching your tissues and Vitamin C and suffering with a case of severe helplessness. …
Even though it is not quite December, the season seems to be fully launched. The week flew by and it was the weekend again before I caught my breath. On Thursday night we had a work function in the city centre. I left my office in Mowbray promptly at 3pm and shot off to Hout …
