Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
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 …
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 …
Every single thing seems to create a debate or an argument these days, including something as innocuous as Mother's Day.

I had such a lovely weekend with my daughters last week. Last Saturday Lily went to a baby shower for a friend who lives in Cape Town and then came to join Caitlin and I to do some painting at Clay Café. Caitlin nor I had eaten so we ordered food when we arrived. Healthy …
I finally feel like I am comfortable being around other humans again, well, as comfortable as my introverted self ever gets. It may be just plague exhaustion (yes that is a real thing) or maybe I am being overly optimistic that the virus is mostly under control, but we are starting to entertain. Last weekend …
This week has been full of a lot of anticipation and happy events. On the work front, I have been given a pay rise. Last year none of us received raises due to the impact of COVID on the economy. It was backdated to my review date so I got an extra bit of cash …
One thing about living in Africa is that I am confronted with how privileged we are on a regular basis. Especially when something happens in one of the townships and you see people losing what little they have and then just getting on with life. There were 2 fires in our village this week. On …
