Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
I've been back at work for a week now and in a routine of sorts. One resolution for this year was to try and get more sleep, so I moved my alarm to 7 rather than 6 now that the roadworks have been completed. I had gotten so relaxed over the holiday break and didn't …
It seems Summer may properly be on the way, or that Spring has properly sprung? Whatever is happening I'm loving the warmth & sunshine! All of the greenery has flourished, the roadsides and gardens blooming. It's been fabulous to go to work in bright light and come home with a few hours of sunlight …
I seem to have slipped into a pattern of hurtling through life for a week, then blogging on the weekend and this week I will be adhering to that same pattern. I did try to keep to my vow to cook at home this week but had mixed results. On Sunday I had sliced up …

I discovered a new addiction. I tried a new pizza from Massimo's, but as I am usually a bit picky about sausage I only ventured to try half. I had a half Pancetta and half Hot Latina. But I wish I had been brave enough to go full Caliente as it was divine! It's the one …
Winter is well and truly here. It's been peeking through sporadically but it's rained and been so cold all week. It's impossible to use an umbrella due to the hectic winds in Cape Town. Even with a hooded raincoat one gets drenched getting to and from the car. Winter is not pleasant. And then we …
On Saturday morning Lily drove back to George to spend her last week as a lady of leisure with Josh and Norm arrived home from his trip to the UK on Tuesday. We were all very pleased to see him as we missed him and it also means one more body to share the load …
Everyone still felt a bit down about Robin Williams as the weekend rolled round. I was happy that Norm was coming home as he had been away for work and a lot more responsibility falls on me when he is not around to share the household tasks. It takes a village to keep our house …
