Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I had a bizarre experience on Tuesday night. Before I went to sleep I was thinking that I wished I had a recording of my Dad's voice. Just as I was dropping off into a deep sleep I heard a man say 'Lisa' loudly in my ear and I woke with a start. First I …
Last weekend I had a bit of cabin fever so Norm offered to take me out for a bite of lunch on Saturday. That meant getting out of my jimjams and putting on make-up for a change. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKYZgFJoGY/ We had intended to go to one of our fave spots, Hout Bay Manor, but the wind …
Norm and I ventured out last Sunday as I was getting a wee bit of cabin fever after spending 3 of my 4 day long weekend at home. We went to Dario's which has recently moved to a new location. We pulled in to the car park and were happy to spot plenty of outside …
There are so many advantages to working from home, however there are also some disadvantages. On Monday night we were relaxing and watching Netflix when the screen started that 'we are offline' spin.

When life was 'normal' (BC or Before Covid) …
No matter what is going on in our lives we can usually still find something to be grateful for and opening up our consciousness to that gratitude often makes us aware of other blessings we should be grateful for. A crisis will cause us to re-evaluate our lives and our perspectives. I am so grateful …
When you compare yourself to others you may feel as if you are succeeding in life, but I guess that depends on who you are comparing yourself to. Sometimes the bar is pretty low so it is easy to feel superior. I had thought that South Africa was doing really well in regards to managing …
I mentioned in my last blog that it was our 23rd wedding anniversary last Sunday. Norm and I would normally go away for the weekend or at least go out for a posh dinner together but the lockdown meant that was not on the cards. I am not comfortable going into a restaurant yet. This …
As you have probably noticed I am trying to educate myself about the history behind oppression and racism. Someone asked me whether I follow the South African news as closely as I do the US news and I try to keep myself aware of what is happening all over the world. Right now I am …
