Four months ago, almost but not quite to the day, I passed through Singa­pore Air­port and stopped into the busi­ness centre to recharge my laptop (I had Buffy DVDs to watch thanks to the Evanly One… shhh… I am *not* a geek). I noticed at the time that they had a shower and jac­uzzi and thought to myself, wow, if it was morn­ing, that would be great!

So, halfway to Singa­pore from Paris I real­ised that our arrival time of 6am and our depar­ture time of 9.30am was abso­lutely perfect.

I have just had an hour-long jac­uzzi with a com­ple­ment­ary fresh lime juice drink (although I’m treat­ing it as a fresh lime juice drink and a slightly cheaper-than-it-really-was jac­uzzi to jus­tify it to myself) and now I’m using the busi­ness loun­ge’s com­ple­ment­ary-for-cus­tom­ers Inter­web con­nec­tion. Oh, and of course, I’m char­ging the laptop.

Now *this* is what long-haul flights should be like.

I’ve also had a rev­el­a­tion: the chal­lenge for myself from now will be to find things to write about for LJ that pass my worth-writ­ing-filter. Which in turn is a good way to force myself to do things on a reg­u­lar basis that are worth writ­ing about. So, do you write to live or live to write? Think to live or live to think?
