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 …
Even though I know that the neurodiverse are more prone to accidents, I still am amazed at the level of chaos that befalls me just going about my day. Last Sunday Norm and I had to go to the mall. We had been going to do our mall errands on the same day as we …
Whenever I hear a message multiple times, I always assume I am meant to notice. The message that came through to me was presented as a variety of ways, but it gave me the same sort of emotion, so I am grouping them together for my own interpretation. You have been waiting all of your …
I've mentioned how happy Amelia gets when one of us understands what she is trying to say and I thought about that and realised that being understood is what many of us strive for in our lives, even once we are adults. Maybe that is why I relate to Amelia so, the lifelong misunderstanding of …

I love Jell-O. Or jelly, depending on where you are from. Here in South Africa and the UK it is jelly and when I finally went to the doc on Thursday and he said I must go onto clear liquids for a few days, the idea of jelly at least made me less depressed. Especially …
We have a family 'joke' that every time Norm travels out of the country there is some drama or catastrophe. There were a few dramas this week which would normally be dealt with by Norm, but with him not here I had to be both Lisa and Norm! I mentioned in a previous post about …
On Saturday Norm and I attended the matinee production of 'Hollywood'. I love the venue Theatre on the Bay and often just book tickets on a whim which is what I did with this show. I knew nothing about the show and when we arrived we were baffled by the fact that there were young …
I watched the new Shonda Rimes series 'Black Barbie' on Netflix.
