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 leave for work in the morning at approximately 630am. Now that it is heading into colder weather it is still dark out when I leave. I use a flashlight to get downstairs to avoid waking everyone up. But then when I get onto the roads I struggle with the glare from oncoming lights from …
I have had such a lovely long weekend with the perfect balance of fun, fabulous food, family, friends and chilled out down time. Considering I had nothing much planned, it all fell perfectly into place with zero effort. I did miss being able to get away for the weekend to see Trevor and Lily however. …
I recently watched a film called 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' where the actors were discussing the fearlessness that comes from having survived something of such trauma and heartbreak that you can then endure anything else life may throw at you. Tempered in steel. Deep trauma changes a person. I know that I am one of those …
Despite being back at work for a full week now, my life still does not feel fully back to normal. The flu Norm and I contracted en route to Scotland is still creeping around in our bodies so that could account for my feelings of disorientation, maybe it is feverish delirium. My first day back …
On Friday I worked from our head office in Century City and when our workshop finished and we left work early I was starving so I headed to Allegria Cafe for a bite to eat. I ordered my fave Eggs Benedict. It looked beautiful but the bacon was way too underdone for my preference. Norm likes …
This week has been busy but productive at least. Norm spoiled me and was such a brilliant support. I really am so lucky. I couldn't work the hours I do without his help in keeping the house running. On Monday he made dinner for us as Cait was staying the night at Wes. He made …
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'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 …
Self constraint has never been one of my skills. Hence my current weight. I've always been a 'You Only Live Once' self-indulgent only child. This is compounded from growing up in the free spirited '70s. You may only live once but you might not live that long of course if you don't look after yourself. …
