Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
While I was in George, I loved having my morning coffee outside watching the birds while Amelia pottered about. There were so many lovely birds we do not see in Cape Town. There was a rainbird aka a Burchell's Coucal, which makes the funniest sounds as a warning of rain. There was the black African …
My kids cannot believe that I can tolerate animals in my environment, much less sleeping in the bed with me. I have always been incredibly OCD, in particular about germs. I still am a germ avoider where I can be but I do not stress out about their mess any longer. Usually. Norm arrived back …
Last week I mentioned that I had been off of work with gastro the previous Friday, but when I posted on Saturday I was feeling so much better that I had dinner that night thinking it was a 12 hour bug and I was recovered. Unfortunately, I woke in the middle of the night again …
This week it is starting to feel like winter is here (yes I have said that a few times only to have the heat return). It has been alternating between hectic winds, rain, drizzly mist, and cold. Now that we have an air-conditioned bedroom I keep the air on year round and set at 18℃. …

We have been really enjoying our visit to the US and have been very busy. Mostly with eating, shopping and socializing but still busy! Aka get a cuppa and settle in for a bit of a long read. On Monday Mom, Norm and I went on a mission to find my Mother of the Bride …
I have only one more day on my current project and I am so glad it is almost over but it makes me sad that we did not finish developing the entire solution. I loved the work, I enjoyed working with my client as I appreciate that he is as passionate as I am about …

Last week was my son Trevor's 27th birthday. I still get surprised when I realise I have 'children' so old. How did that happen? Trevor and his girlfriend Amber arrived down to visit us on Wednesday which meant I had several days with them and I was so excited! I have not spent Trevor's actual …
