Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This was the best work week ever as I only worked about 10 hours instead my usual 45. Monday was a normal day, I worked late to try and tidy up all the loose ends I needed to resolve. Tuesday Norm drove me in and as he is not a morning person we left an …
Recently I've had conversations with several people about self worth or related topics. Some people need to feel emotionally rewarded in some way by their job, for example being in healthcare would give you a feeling at the end of your day that you helped an ill or recovering person.

We had such a productive day. Mzudomo arrived bright and early and while he was busy in the garden with great assistance from the Pomeranians, we set off to Hout Bay to hit the shops. I'm just so fed up with takeaways so we vowed to be more organized and do a weekly shop. Before we did …
Obviously I can't fly but that is the song that pops into my head when I hear the words 'I Believe'. I'm one of those people who have a song track to their life. I launch randomly into song constantly. And annoyingly I'm sure. Whatever. This week someone started quoting verses of the bible to me …

There is an old joke that says the reason they call Cape Town ‘The Mother City’ is because it takes 9 months for anything to happen. This is generally true except this week has proven that some things can take off like wildfire. Especially, well, a wildfire. I woke in the middle of the night …
We have had a sad and stressful last few weeks, my mother in law had a bleed to the brain and passed away. Norm was the oldest of 5 and helped raise his siblings and he and his Mum were very close. At 85 she was still living on her own so she was doing …
This year has gone by so quickly and has had both highs and lows, but predominately I would score it on the high side. It's a year since I began the new client, project and site. I had some rough patches and the implementation of a project manager and a change in team lead resulting …
Yesterday was another of the jazz events Norm and I enjoy attending. This time it was held at Amakhaya Guest Lodge which is owned by Lee and Pierre. Lee is the daughter of Harry Peacock whose band was performing. The weather was perfect, we arrived just after 5pm and the sun was still beating down, …
