Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It's funny how my reaction to almost the exact same situation can change depending on one factor. For example, I woke at 6.45 Sunday morning. The sun was just peeking around the curtains, Norm rolled over and took my hand and Panda crept up from my feet to nestle in the crook of my body, …
I have never considered myself artistic. Even as a child I preferred to read the names of the crayon colors and organize them into little Virgo sorted categories than to use them to create. I would rather colour in and focus on staying within the lines than to draw or paint my own picture. So …
It takes a lot to entertain a Virgo. We are difficult customers in general due to our high standards. These are the same standards to which we hold ourselves, so to us that's fair. I've learned to try and bite my tongue and just accept a plate of food or a cup of coffee but …
This week passed by in the blink of an eye. The international news has been full of tragedy and senseless death. In one day my twitter feed was full of a stream of shocking events. Then I open my email and it was also full of various pleas: to shut down horrific zoos, to stop …
I can't believe it is over a week since I fell ill and yet I am still sick. My head is so congested. But the show must go on. After work on Monday I was faced with my lack of pot roast for dinner thanks to naughty Navajo and had to come up with a …

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 had several conversations this week about the many changes that life throws at us, changes at home or at work, changes in location or fortune. I know I've personally touched on all of those so I'm sure there are plenty more challenging situations, in addition to those experienced by me. My measure of success …
Last Sunday we were so lazy, probably because it was preceding a public holiday. Last Monday was Workers Day so we had the day off and my friend Retha and I decided to try and get in for lunch at Green Vine Eatery at Silvermist Vineyards. We did not have a booking but thought why not …
