Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
The last week has been rather horrific for the residents of our village. It feels like we are under some sort of siege, there have been back to back fires and other tragedies and chaos. The drought has continued with a brief respite on Wednesday, however it was just literally a drop in the dry dams and our ground …
Our weekend started off drama free, but after Friday the world seemed to have a wee bump and go off kilter. Friday was crazy windy and ever so hot. I walked over to Food Lovers Market at lunch and it was challenging trying to walk. My colleague had her eye glasses blown off and ran …
I've had a weekend of Kitten Adventures. Saturday I had a long lie and then just after noon my friend Franziska came to collect me for a little tour around my own village, Hout Bay. Franziska and I 'met' in a Facebook group. She comes here to Cape Town to visit her family so I …
Last Sunday's dinner was roast chicken cooked in butter and tons of garlic, mushrooms roasted in the pan with the chicken and red cabbage fried in butter and balsamic. I also made sweet potato fondants, parboiling them first and then frying in butter until crispy. After dinner we watched the previous week's Saturday Night Live. Melissa McCarthy …
This has been such a busy week. Considering that I started out in a bit of a #StillHungOverFromSaturday state I am impressed with the fact I survived it all. I had to rush home from work on Monday to meet Vanessa my manicurist. Vanessa still comes to my house despite the fact that she is now …
It's only week 3 in the New Russian Federation of America and yet it seems like it has been years. This week alone we had Rep Elizabeth Warren being told to sit down and shut up. She dared to call racist Sessions exactly what he has portrayed himself to be. We also had The Furher …
The week in LaLaLand is over. No harm, possibly a few fouls. I did try, and mostly succeeded, in keeping my anxiety under control. I'm aware that the new alt-right who are in charge of the White House are hitting hard and heavy early with the hopes of protest fatigue setting in and the normalization …
When I left the U.K. I was just about to lose my driving license due to too many speeding fines. The U.K. system is points based and I was a ticket away from running out of points. This week I paid almost 2 thousand rand in traffic fines. Some behavior never changes. I'm a road …
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 …
This week was full of spontaneity and relaxed fun. We just went with the flow. Friday was a bank holiday and I spent it under a brolly by the pool. I cooked dinner and we had a quiet night in. Norm and I watched War Dogs with Jonah Hill and Bradley Cooper. Jonah has put back on …
