Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This week has been busy but productive at least. Norm spoiled me and was such a brilliant support. I really am so lucky. I couldn't work the hours I do without his help in keeping the house running. On Monday he made dinner for us as Cait was staying the night at Wes. He made …
We have been blessed with another stunning day in Cape Town. We pottered about getting our back garden ready for spring and summer. We planned what to do at the back and finally decided on putting in a wooden deck. Panda enjoyed the sunshine. We emptied all the pots and filled them with new compost. …
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 …
It takes a lot to entertain a Virgo. We are difficult customers in general due to our high standards. These are the same standards to which we hold ourselves, so to us that's fair. I've learned to try and bite my tongue and just accept a plate of food or a cup of coffee but …
I can't believe it is over a week since I fell ill and yet I am still sick. My head is so congested. But the show must go on. After work on Monday I was faced with my lack of pot roast for dinner thanks to naughty Navajo and had to come up with a …
Last Monday seemed to come round so quickly as it was just a regular two day weekend. It had started to get chilly so I was happy to have Sunday's leftover soup for lunch. I got in early to a stunning sunrise outside my office window. As we hadn't done a proper weekly shop …
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 …
The older I get the more annoyed I get with noise. People chewing, people tapping pens or fingernails on desks, people who read their emails or code out loud. People who bang the spoon against the sides of the cup when they stir their tea as stridently as Quasi-bloody-modo ringing that bell. I'm like …
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 …
