Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Sometimes by protecting other people, we end up inadvertently harming ourselves. This is something that I am personally working through at the moment. It becomes a self-blame game when things work out badly for you and you realise it is because you kept quiet about things that other people did. I protected my children from …
This week I had a few moments that were so surreal that I felt like I had inadvertently fallen into a Disney film. First of all, Scene One: I told you about the discovery of Mr Ratty on my bird feeder and what appeared to be a mama and baby pair? I got a closer …
They say that a Squirrel is just a rat with better PR as they are both rodents. These days I guess you would say Media Relations instead of Public Relations but MR does not roll off the tongue so easily. Rats have always freaked me out, they make me think of germs and pestilence, whatever …
This post is an extended version as I am covering two weeks since I had family here over the weekend and that took priority over writing. Sunday before last, my daughter Caitlin came over with my granddaughter for a visit. They went for swim lessons that morning and then Caitlin stopped and got food for …
When observant as only someone who is slightly obsessed can be, you can learn a lot about your subject of interest. I have a tendency to fill in the gaps between knowledge with my own imagination.

It is hard to believe that it is already almost September and therefore almost my birthday! I am turning 65 on the 3rd of September, so I will officially be a pensioner. I made several suggestions of things I desire and Norm says it sounds more like a Scavenger hunt than a birthday list. A …
You may think that my Psoas is getting a lot of airtime lately and you would be right. It is quite literally my entire focus at the moment. I have read that some schools of thought are that the psoas is not a muscle at all, but rather an organ. Every day I log on …
Norm and I were sitting outside last weekend in the evening and we were having one of our 'one of us is autistic' conversations. I often wonder what my neighbours must think if they hear the things we discuss. Lisa: I have been watching the snails. Norm: what? where? what snails? Lisa: There on the …
These last few weeks really made me conscious of the passing of time, something that is often skewed by my neurodiversity and time blindness. It also made me incredibly proud of the life and family I have built. July 5th was mine and Norman's 29th wedding anniversary. We were wed in the beautiful registry office …
