Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I finished up work last Friday and the season is fully launched. We're off on the run up to the holidays! I'm not seeing as many tourists as usual but I've been lying low and avoiding the shops. On Friday after work Norm and I joined Paola, Phillip, Retha and Barry at Cheyne's for dinner. …
The weather has taken a sudden turn in Cape Town and it has been boiling hot outside. On Thursday I had my annual check up at the gynae who is in Milnerton so I set off just after 7am to make my way across the city. I had to use the car's air conditioner as …
Norm and I had quite the adventure again this weekend. Last week seemed to drag however, maybe because of our anticipation and chomping at the bit to get away for our longish weekend?

This past weekend I barely feel as if I caught my breath! It was non-stop from start to finish. In fact since my last blog I have been really busy. Maybe this is due to the warmer weather erratically arriving? On Wednesday after work Retha came for drinks and afterwards I cooked dinner. I made …
This week has been very heavy going for me emotionally. My heart is heavy with sadness and uncertainty. Once again this week we have had protest action in Hout Bay. Starting on Tuesday there were roadblocks and riots going on in Hangberg, the opposite side of the Bay from where I live. The protest was …
Norm and I had such a lazy day on Saturday. We are both feeling exhausted. Norm has been helping Caitlin paint all week in her flat and he is physically tired, I am mentally tired from stressing about selling our home and finding a new one and all the other stress around moving. I do …
