Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
For our Blue Boy this has not been a great week. He got into a tussle with another neighbourhood cat a few months ago and his face was scratched quite badly. When one small spot just at the corner of his wee nose did not appear to heal we kept an eye on it and …
This weekend Norm and I had a relaxed agenda. On Friday I got home from work quite early and it was nice to not have to worry about dinner as I had been organised for once and had made it the night before. I pureed butternut and put it on top of curried mince. We just served …
After weeks of unbearably hot muggy weather it has suddenly dropped to the mid-teens. It is like we had a weekend of hot lazy summer weather and on Monday when we woke up it was suddenly winter! The mornings have been around 15 deg C. (Beth to save your need for conversion this is about 60 …
Happy May to you all! This year is rattling past at a helluva speed. Why does time move faster the older we get? We did have a wonderful time with the family on our lovely 5 day break. I missed my boy Trevor but as he is now a proper adult he has his own …

I am unable to view the video in that link here in SA, but hopefully the link will allow you to see the video as it is both terrifying and fascinating and worth viewing. We …
It has been a week of volatility and chaos in South Africa. In my last blog I mentioned the protest that we in South Africa were calling 'Black Monday'. Norm and I were both participating by wearing all black and tweeting our support of the cause. I tried about a dozen times to get a decent pic …
I've had a fabulous weekend despite the turmoil going on politically in both my country of residence as well as my country of birth. One problem that is going on here in South Africa which touched us last week is the ongoing war between the metered taxis and Uber drivers. In South Africa a taxi …
This week I was reading an article about the many women who mother us throughout our lives. I only have a few of these women who come immediately to mind with a maternal influence, other than my mom and my beloved maternal Gran. My Grandmother has been with me through various life incarnations, we were definitely …
