Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I often do a 'music video of the week' or a 'film/series of the week' recommendation in my posts, but I think I might need to add a 'Word of the Week' section because I am getting so many comments by people who identify with my latest explorations into various aspects of Neurodiversity. This week's …
This week I have learned some new terminology for some of the same old 'quirks'. I keep discovering that the weird little behaviours I have always done are either stims, or characteristics of either Autism or ADHD. For example, constantly singing is a ND trait. I sing continuously either in my head or out loud. …
There are so many trite sayings about how wonderful it is to spend time with your grown up children but they are all true. Even doing nothing is fine if I am doing nothing with my kids. When I see them happy and doing well at life it especially makes me feel pleased. My daughter …
On Saturday Norm and I attended the matinee production of 'Hollywood'. I love the venue Theatre on the Bay and often just book tickets on a whim which is what I did with this show. I knew nothing about the show and when we arrived we were baffled by the fact that there were young …

We have continued our new date night tradition. Norm and I decided to go out for dinner last Sunday as we had been home all weekend due to the Two Oceans Marathon and we felt a wee bit of cabin fever. The wind was crazy all weekend which also creates it's own form of chaos! …
