Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This was our last 4 day week for a while. The week went quickly but I suspect next week will drag. The drought continues in Cape Town. I can't embed this video but click HERE to watch recent footage of the dams. It is so frightening. More so that the government seems to be doing nothing about …
Sunday was a stunning warm sunny day but it was still pretty windy. Retha and I had plans to go for lunch but we were then invited to a braai at our friend Carol's so we encouraged Norm to come with and we headed out around 2. Carol is an artist and she wanted us …
Despite being back at work for a full week now, my life still does not feel fully back to normal. The flu Norm and I contracted en route to Scotland is still creeping around in our bodies so that could account for my feelings of disorientation, maybe it is feverish delirium. My first day back …
I had such a fabulously overindulgent weekend last weekend - it was laden with Sugar and Wine. Therefore when I woke on Monday feeling like I had a hangover I wasn't sure whether to blame the sugar, the wine or both. I had intense pain in my hip and felt fuzzy headed and fluey. I only had a half …
I had such a fabulous birthday weekend where I ate everything from cinnamon rolls to Orange Cake. I threw Banting under the bus and as a result I gained 2kgs of my weight back. Oops. To be honest it was worth it. I already felt so dreadful from the low blood pressure I didn't notice …
I had several conversations this week about the many changes that life throws at us, changes at home or at work, changes in location or fortune. I know I've personally touched on all of those so I'm sure there are plenty more challenging situations, in addition to those experienced by me. My measure of success …
Last Sunday we were so lazy, probably because it was preceding a public holiday. Last Monday was Workers Day so we had the day off and my friend Retha and I decided to try and get in for lunch at Green Vine Eatery at Silvermist Vineyards. We did not have a booking but thought why not …
The nights are drawing in and the sun is setting earlier in the evenings. Some mornings I leave while it's still dark outside. It's getting cooler, the cats are now cuddling up with us in the evenings. Saturday evening we rented Rock The Kasbah. It had a brilliant cast with Bill Murray, Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, …
Sunday evening I joined friends for dinner and I wore my other pair of new jeans. So comfy but they fit properly. It is nice to not keep tugging at my waist. We were meeting up at the V and A Waterfront to send off our friend Caroline who is moving to the UK. …
Sometimes nothing except a greasy burger will satisfy you. I felt like that last Sunday. To take the place of normal fries I made chips from sweet potatoes, cooking them in the oven in coconut oil. Sweet potato are on the orange list but a small serving is fine. To make the burgers we puréed …
