Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
I'm still not sure if my attitude changed or what happened, but this was the calmest, most easy going Christmas I have ever hosted. It was also one of my best, I was so well prepared and I'm the sort who stresses about things being out of control, so maybe that was what lay as …
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 …
People say that you will never meet your true love in a bar, but conversely they also say that nothing can keep soul mates apart. My husband Norman and I are classic examples of the latter and a contradiction to the former of those 'sayings'. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We met almost 20 …
This week passed in a blur with me doing overtime every day. We are developing a new Business Rules Engine and testing as we develop, we are using an agile methodology so it's a constant cycle of change! It's hard to manage. I even worked today, I was in the office by 8am and worked …
I am so lucky to live in a fishing village where we can get amazing fresh seafood. My daughter Caitlin has just become pescetarian (eats only fish and seafood, veg and dairy.) The rest of us have sort of followed suit just as it is simpler. We have had a week of Pescetarian Heaven. I …
Today is Freedom Day in South Africa so we get a 3 day weekend. Freedom Day celebrates freedom and commemorates the first post-apartheid elections held on that day in 1994. The elections were the first national elections where everyone of voting age of over 18 from any race group was allowed to vote. Even women 😉.It …
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 …
Norm returned from Scotland last week and Lily headed back to George until she starts her new job at the end of March. It was so nice to have Norm home, I love that I get a decent snore free night's sleep when he is away, but I do miss him. The girls were a …
