Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This has been such a stressful week for me. Like most introverts I do not enjoy change or new situations. I know I do not behave like your typical introvert as I am bolshy and opinionated, but I cringe at people asking me questions about myself or trying to communicate with me if we do not have …
From the time I woke on Monday I avoided anything political. I usually wake before my alarm goes off and I grab my phone and check my social media accounts and my Covet Fashion results. I've played Covet for years but I don't spend cash on it like some women who allocate a budget each week …
Despite being back at work for a full week now, my life still does not feel fully back to normal. The flu Norm and I contracted en route to Scotland is still creeping around in our bodies so that could account for my feelings of disorientation, maybe it is feverish delirium. My first day back …
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 …

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 …
The last few weeks have been full steam ahead. Mom had a list of things she wanted to do in the Garden Route, so we followed her requests. We went to Knysna and had a wander round the shops. Mom remembered several shops which she had been to when here years ago and most of …
My friend Retha and I normally attend the Cape Town Girl Geek Dinners but this month we decided to give it a miss and instead go for cocktails and dim sum at Kitima which is a fab venue. We booked seats in the bar and proceeded to sample the cocktail menu. we ordered the starter …
Life is on that downhill slide to the end of the year when most of South Africa shuts down. Not like the same sense as the USA shut down, cause that is just silly. Our shut down just involves, sun, sand and sea...and a bit of wine. OK probably a lot of wine, but we …
