Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
With Norman still away last weekend, I had nothing much planned as I had the animals to look after. I was booked for a facial Saturday afternoon and when it was time for me to leave for my 1:30pm appointment, Finn refused to come inside. I knew I was only going to be gone for …
This week Norm was travelling again and I was trying to remember where he had gone but all I knew was it had a lot of vowels in it. He was in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. I kept telling everyone he was in Abu Dhabi which is the capital of the UAE. This …
I have been Head of the House all week as Norm was away in Ghana until yesterday. I often say I hate having responsibilities, that they give me anxiety as I always feel like I am forgetting something. Sort of like when you wake up late and you feel like you need to hurry all …
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 …
I have loved having Lily and Amelia here all week, Amelia changes so much every time I see her. She can now say several words and is so funny. She really loves to be a comedian and if she gets a laugh she will repeat it forever so make sure not to laugh if you …

This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …
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 …
Typical of the Mother City, the weather has been erratic all week. We had several days of really severe winds. Then we had several days of intense heat, it was 31℃ on Tuesday. That evening I sat outside at the back and took advantage of the weather finally cooling off a bit. The cats and …
I love Jell-O. Or jelly, depending on where you are from. Here in South Africa and the UK it is jelly and when I finally went to the doc on Thursday and he said I must go onto clear liquids for a few days, the idea of jelly at least made me less depressed. Especially …
