Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I read that "Eleven minutes a day of deep, conscious breathing can get you high, humbled, and halfway to a mystical experience" and who doesn't want that? It grabbed my attention and the rest of the post was pretty humorous. Cutting down the jokes to just the list of items, he gave us some good …
I mentioned that April is a month of many public holidays in South Africa and it was lovely having 3 days off last weekend and another day off on Thursday and nothing to do except whatever I wanted to do. I did a lot of gardening in the mornings on the first two days while …
It was so lovely spending time with my little granddaughter Bree last Saturday afternoon. She had been sick and was a bit stuffed up but she coped like a champ. She is such a strong bodied little thing all she wants to do is hold your hands and pull herself up to stand. When I …
This week I was sitting outside on my back patio and my eye caught movement above me and when I looked up I saw this tiny black feather slowly drift down and land on my knee. The patio is under a roof so I do not know how it dropped down from above me. I …

I spent all of last Sunday doing my favourite things: bird watching and faffing about my garden. I took wild iris seed pods from the pool area and crumbled the pods and scattered the seeds in another area that is very shady and full of tree roots, so not much grows there. Let's see what …
You know when you were a kid and you were on holiday and you had that 'summer feeling' where your skin felt salty and tight from chlorine or sea water? Sitting with damp swimsuits on the chair cushions and knowing you will regret it later after you have changed and you get your new clothes …
Why do strangers feel like it is acceptable to touch others? I am not good with random strangers touching me. I am not even good with people I know touching me if I am not prepared for it or fond of them. On Monday I went with Norm to the hospital as he was having …
Last weekend was such a lovely vibe, starting so fabulously with the Organic Magic Project Event on Friday. Then on Saturday Norm drove me out to Scarborough to say goodbye to Tass my beloved teacher. Norm is always willing to be my transport as he knows how driving makes me so anxious but he is …
