I wrote about how the books you read as a teenager stay with you for ever for @overlandlitmag - Flowers in the Attic and Stephen King in my own time, Hardy and Orwell at school. Never forgotten. 😭😭😭 Link in profile #currentlyreading #currentlywriting #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #writingcommunity #overland

What day is it? (Sound up) PS I have added a link in my profile to a calm, reassuring and empowering message from an ER doctor who looks exhausted but makes a lot of sense about how to not get sick and how to manage if you do. First 20 minutes were like a warm bath for my fretful brain - have a look and send it on.

Who remembers spooky Lois Duncan? Current isolation coping strategy 10 days in is to go back to the 90s and read YA 📚 😷📚 #currentlyreading #books #bookstagram #loisduncan #gothicfiction #yaauthors

Just pulled this off the shelf to look at the chapter on infections. Nothing groundbreaking to report except for a) eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day and b) Moderate exercise daily ie a half hour walk. Sorry still the same old story! Its like exercise more and eat less to lose weight or read a lot write a lot to be a writer. His website nutritionfacts.org is also great. #stayhome #stayhomechallenge #coronavirusreading #currentlyreading #currentlyeating #books #bookstagram #bibliophile

And here it is, the Stephanie Alexander lemon tart I have been meaning to cook ever since @zoeellinson gave me the cookbook quite some time ago. I will probably eat most of it at 3am. #comforteating #comfortbaking #stephaniealexander #lemontart #berlin #90saesthetic #lemons #

Well we have been in isolation for a week now and I am starting to feel a tad institutionalised but it's the one remedy we have, the one thing I can do. As I write this our house keys are being bleached and a 90s style Stephanie Alexander lemon tart is cooking. We are walking a fine line here in the bunker 🤯🤯🤯 Yesterday I took a break from reading the news and watched The Wedding Crashers instead, which is pretty tasteless but makes me laugh, then I stayed up until 5am so as to get peace and some work done and WhatsApp my Perth family then fall into a dead sleep and not a restless one. Today the feeling of impending doom has gone and I've ordered a stack of books to lift team spirits - lots of kids books based on an excellent Twitter thread by @dervlamctiernan and a few Lois Duncan YA books as I am feeling like a moody teen and missing the 90s. How is everyone else going??!! I'll take any social contact except those 'Hello Dear' DMs from men in sunglasses (but give me another week and I'll be jumping on those too) Pretty pic of winter hellebore from when I was last out 🌸🌸🌸 - also realised its spring solstice here. #berlin #winter #quarantine #bookstagram #books #springsolstice #fruhling
