Insta v reality.
Swipe along to see what you really have to do to write in the sunshine. Yep, you need to put your laptop it in a cardboard box! And it actually works. You’re welcome. 😂

It’s grim lately isn’t it? The news is a hard watch.
Here I am, full of privilege and so scared of saying the wrong thing. I’m not one of those accounts that bangs on about serious issues. I’m a bookstagrammer. I share pictures of books against pretty backdrops, flat lays of my feet in socks with warm drinks in my hands.
My captions discuss my day and my books, it’s a lightweight account purely done for enjoyment.
But.
I couldn’t just go ahead and post another book shot against the countryside without acknowledging what’s going on, and it’s hard to put together a caption that articulates what’s going on in my head.
That reflects the conversations at home and with friends.
My husband just walked in and I asked him for some advice on what to write, and he told me, ‘it’s certainly not enough being not racist, we have to be anti racist and that is no simple thing.’ Which pretty much sums it up.
Sending you all much love ❤️

A sunny day in the UK goes like this: realise it’s going to be a rare, sunny, Saturday and do a little happy dance.
Realise the garden needs doing, you’ve no food in that’s right for the weather, you need to do six loads of laundry, walk the dog before it gets too hot and a paddling pool would be nice for the kid.
Race to supermarket along with everyone else, get sidetracked by gorgeous hat, panic buy everything including hat.
Race home, spend hours sorting stuff out, realise you bought all the wrong things (apart from the hat) and then finally, finally enjoy the sun somewhere round mid afternoon. 😂
How’s your day been? .

It’s been one of those days where I just don’t know where it’s gone. I think the sunshine had something to do with it, but I’m not sure what! I just know it’s been lovely out here today 🌞 🌞🌞

Hatching plans in the sunshine with my partner in crime. He reads everything I write before anyone else and is eye-wateringly honest with his feedback. He is the best, (but then, I would say that because he’s my husband)
Do you have a most trusted beta-reader? .

Been lovely here today, I did a bit of work this morning then headed out to meet a friend in a socially distant, safe way. First time I’ve spoken to her in the flesh in weeks and it was like a breath of fresh air, now I’m going to read a chapter or two and enjoy the last of the sunshine. How’s your day been?

{gifted} Do you listen to music when you write?
With the house ALWAYS being full at the moment, I need something to block out the continuous noise when I need to focus and @sudio came to the rescue with these little beauties.
The ones I have are called Fem and they are wireless, comfortable and very easy to wear. Honestly.
They are a gifted item, but I’ve been testing them for a few weeks and I love them.
You might have seen in my previous stories that I’ve been using them to listen to audiobooks, which they’ve been perfect for on the walk into work - really light & comfortable.
Easy to connect with my phone and the sound is great. They also come in a fantastic little box that charges them, which is so cool!
I have a 15% discount code if you fancy treating yourself to a pair. Just use ZOELEAWRITER15 at checkout.

This weekend has been lovely, there was a long walk, baking, watching films, reading books and writing. I actually managed to get some writing done.
I learned a new craft (that I’ll share if it works out) and as I write this, a curry simmers on the stove and a glass of red is being poured.
So basically, it’s been pretty brilliant. 😊How was yours? .

The problem with baking cake all of time, is that you end up having to eat cake all the time.
Which is no bad thing.
Happy Friday everyone! .

I’m reading or rather listening to Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life - have you read it?
It’s fascinating. It’s also a bit hard going and some bits I have to listen to twice to make sure I’ve understood, but I got to a bit today that really hit home.
It was rule four on comparison and he said ‘compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.’
I compare myself to others way too much and if I’m not careful, it can really get me down. So in this uncertain time, I’m really working on getting rid of the internal critic.
I think it’s going to be an ongoing project.

I know I’ve said it before, but it’s such a strange time.
Lockdown is easing and we’re expecting this corner of the U.K. to be inundated. From tomorrow we’re allowed day trips. We can drive somewhere nice and be out and enjoy nature for as long as we like.
Lots of people here are scared. A lot are worried. A lot are filed with anxiety that our small villages will be full of tourists making social distancing impossible, filling up our small hospitals and taking all the food from our shops. I understand, and I’m also slightly worried, and yet...and yet.
I know, that if I’d been in a city for lockdown, with no access to nature, I’d be driving out tomorrow.
I’d want the space, the fells, the mountains around me.
So I think, the only thing to do in this situation is to be kind. Less judgmental. More empathy.
What’s your thoughts on the easing of lockdown? .
