Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
On Monday morning I woke early and when I checked my phone I saw a message from a friend telling me that our street was closed due to chaos from the riots. A fire had been started in the middle of the only street out of our suburb and a barricade put up. I then …
I had such a fabulously overindulgent weekend last weekend - it was laden with Sugar and Wine. Therefore when I woke on Monday feeling like I had a hangover I wasn't sure whether to blame the sugar, the wine or both. I had intense pain in my hip and felt fuzzy headed and fluey. I only had a half …
I had such a fabulous birthday weekend where I ate everything from cinnamon rolls to Orange Cake. I threw Banting under the bus and as a result I gained 2kgs of my weight back. Oops. To be honest it was worth it. I already felt so dreadful from the low blood pressure I didn't notice …
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 …

I am a bit of a hedonist and I have always found a lot of pleasure in eating lovely tasting food and yet I've never really been someone who regularly cooked. I could, I just didn't. Especially when working late. Now that we have changed our lives I get pleasure from cooking when I have …
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. …
I've now lost about 11-12kgs, my clothes are swimming on me. We are still sticking to low carb. Last Sunday I cooked a silverside beef roast in the crock pot in a tin of tomato and a box of organic broth. I would normally cook my pot roast in cream of mushroom soup with …
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 …
