Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I have predominately avoided politics in my writing lately because it generates anxiety in me to discuss everything over and over. Norm and I used to always watch the news before bed to catch up on the world's happenings but eventually it was upsetting me so much it affected my ability to get to sleep. …
This week has been full on. Work is incredibly busy. At home, we just put in some new front lawn, we started renovating the kitchen, it is Halloween weekend and my family arrived from George. It was very bad planning with the family being here, but Norm is away soon and we have our friend …
This post is an extended version as I am covering two weeks since I had family here over the weekend and that took priority over writing. Sunday before last, my daughter Caitlin came over with my granddaughter for a visit. They went for swim lessons that morning and then Caitlin stopped and got food for …
Last Saturday was very relaxed. I did interact with a newly identified bird, the Olive Thrush. It came down to the roof of the shed first and watched me for a few minutes. Then he dropped down onto the turf and started pecking at a piece of apple that I had given Poppy. Before she …

My friends and family often have a laugh about 'Lisa's World' which consists of what I see with my bad vision. On Tuesday I was sitting in the pool and I spotted what looked like a screen of some sort. Was it a camera? A listening device? Who would be interested in what two geriatric …
Last weekend Norm did a lot of prep for a trip to Switzerland. He was up on Sunday and ready to go to the airport when he received an email from his hotel and noticed they referred to different dates. Luckily this triggered him to check his tickets and see that he flew on Monday, …
It has been a busy week! I've swam, walked in the forest, gained a new client, spent time with my daughter and granddaughter, and started learning a new technical tool!
