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 am a bit of a hedonist and I have always found a lot of pleasure in eating lovely tasting food and yet I've never really been someone who regularly cooked. I could, I just didn't. Especially when working late. Now that we have changed our lives I get pleasure from cooking when I have …
The nights are drawing in and the sun is setting earlier in the evenings. Some mornings I leave while it's still dark outside. It's getting cooler, the cats are now cuddling up with us in the evenings. Saturday evening we rented Rock The Kasbah. It had a brilliant cast with Bill Murray, Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, …
The older I get the more annoyed I get with noise. People chewing, people tapping pens or fingernails on desks, people who read their emails or code out loud. People who bang the spoon against the sides of the cup when they stir their tea as stridently as Quasi-bloody-modo ringing that bell. I'm like …
Sunday evening I joined friends for dinner and I wore my other pair of new jeans. So comfy but they fit properly. It is nice to not keep tugging at my waist. We were meeting up at the V and A Waterfront to send off our friend Caroline who is moving to the UK. …
I've now lost about 11-12kgs, my clothes are swimming on me. We are still sticking to low carb. Last Sunday I cooked a silverside beef roast in the crock pot in a tin of tomato and a box of organic broth. I would normally cook my pot roast in cream of mushroom soup with …
Sometimes nothing except a greasy burger will satisfy you. I felt like that last Sunday. To take the place of normal fries I made chips from sweet potatoes, cooking them in the oven in coconut oil. Sweet potato are on the orange list but a small serving is fine. To make the burgers we puréed …
Timing is everything. The smallest millisecond can alter the course of a life. It's almost as if the universe has an expected daily target for how long I spend in traffic. And 15 minutes can make a world of difference. Thursday I decided I was going to leave by 7 and I was at my …
I sometimes feel as if my life is just an endless round of the same activities, my own personal Groundhog Day. Wake at 6, up at 6.30, try to leave by 7 (but always leave later), spend ages in traffic, walk to my office, work for 9-10 hours, walk to car, drive home, cook dinner, …
Last Sunday it got up to 33 degrees but as I took Saturday off from cooking due to the heat I had a lot of cooking to do. I popped a small gammon in the slow cooker. Usually I cook my gammon in coke, brown sugar and pineapple but none of those are allowed with …
