Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I usually do not really suffer with jet-lag but this trip it has really hit me hard. Possibly it is because I started a new contract the day after we returned home? I have had to nap or at least rest a bit each afternoon as I have not been sleeping well at night, I …
Norman and I have only just returned from our annual trip to the US to visit my mother where I also saw friends and family. I saw very few people and I went very few places, the trip was about spending time with my mom who is in poor health. I was surprised at how …
This has been a week of chaos of the best kind. My daughter Lily and granddaughter Amelia were here all week again but they left on Thursday morning. I mentioned in last week's post that Norm and I were off to the theatre to see My Fair Lady. We were both excited for a night …
This week has been chaos, some things were fabulous and some were challenging. It was my last week of work on the project I have been a Data Architect on for several years. I love this team and have learned so much. I had a Data Quality report to deliver which meant developing the code …

I mentioned in last week's post that I was attending a workshop held by my friend Tamlyn. There were 5 of us there so a nice size group without feeling like you were 'performing' for a crowd and could not be vulnerable. Now I am going to go down the rabbit hole of the meaning …
Cape Town is such a place of extremes. This time it was the weather! This Saturday it is hot and summery and last Saturday the weather was horrendous in Hout Bay. Last Saturday Norm and the visitors took off about 9ish for Hermanus where the Annual Whale Festival was occurring. The thing about Cape Town …
This has been such a busy week! First of all, we still have our overseas visitors with us until next Monday. Last Monday I had to go back to work and Norm took his guests up Table Mountain. Apparently everyone in the entire province also decided to go at that time and Norm had to …
This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …
