Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
It is stress or change which drives most growth. Kim, the guy who helps in the garden, was here and we discussed how to manage the tree by the pool where the roots are cracking the pavement. He said we should just cut the whole tree down. He said that if we cut off a …
This week our internet died and I had 2 meetings booked to present the document I have put together so far for my client. I managed to bungle through the first one without being able to hear anyone, but the second was with senior management and the internet died completely and tossed me out of …
Last week my house sitter told me that our garden is looking lovely and that made me so happy! Obviously I think so but it is nice to hear from others that it is noticed. If only I could blink like Samantha from Bewitched and have all of our planned changes done at once. Instead …

Last night Norm and I tried a new venue to celebrate his birthday. I had just planned a quiet dinner for us two as I had thrown him a small drinks evening at our house on Sunday and invited all of our friends. I knew we might be a bit tired on Monday as a …
This week was my second week with Norm away. He spent a week in Switzerland on a consulting contract and the second in the UK on personal business. I missed him terribly. The girls were brilliant support and we had someone to walk Navajo every day. But I still missed my other half. But we …
