Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
After 4 lovely days off I was back at work on Tuesday to over 100 emails, 6 documents to review and issues on two of my projects. No chance of easing in gently to my 4 day work week. So that evening I only got home at 7pm, exactly 12 hours after I had left …
This week I had one of those Golden Thread enlightenment moments where I realized how all of my past lives relate to each other. It's the Celtic thread at the root which ties them all together. I detest Rosemary. I recently discovered that an old Appalachian folk tale involves planting Rosemary by the door to …
I'm still not sure if my attitude changed or what happened, but this was the calmest, most easy going Christmas I have ever hosted. It was also one of my best, I was so well prepared and I'm the sort who stresses about things being out of control, so maybe that was what lay as …
As always the full moon cycle triggers chaos. I remember from when I worked in the hospital as a radiographer that a full moon brings out the crazies, that is why you call them "lunatics". The pull of the moon on the body also results in an increase in birth rates. Basically the hospital would …

I seem to have slipped into a pattern of hurtling through life for a week, then blogging on the weekend and this week I will be adhering to that same pattern. I did try to keep to my vow to cook at home this week but had mixed results. On Sunday I had sliced up …
On Saturday morning Lily drove back to George to spend her last week as a lady of leisure with Josh and Norm arrived home from his trip to the UK on Tuesday. We were all very pleased to see him as we missed him and it also means one more body to share the load …
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 …
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 …
