📺 In preparation for tomorrow’s trip to the cinema to watch the sequel, I watched the original Beetlejuice last night. Seeing it for the first time in at least a decade was quite the experience!

@maique I have swweaty palms just reading this. Fingers crossed for you!

@TheMacPsych
@maique So true! We've been pining for it since the last season ended.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
@maique Thanks! Coming from you (and your eye) that means a lot.

@TheMacPsych
📺 My partner and I settled in to watch the first episode of Slow Horses S4 last night. And we barely spoke once, except to declare our undying love for Kristin Scott Thomas. I would watch anything she’s in.
Can’t wait for episode two next week. It’s the very definition of ‘appointment tv’.

@ridwan Thank you!

@TheMacPsych
@torb Thank you! I don’t think the photo does them justice - it’s tricky taking pics through a thick, dirty plane window.

📸 I snapped this out the window of my flight from Dublin to London on Wednesday. At the time, I thought the clouds looked impressive and a little weird. But that may have been my jet-lag addled brain seeing what wasn’t actually there…
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
✈️ I arrived back from Singapore on Monday morning, but I still feel like someone has injected sludge into my brain. Even after getting an incredible night’s sleep last night, I woke up this morning feeling like I’d run a marathon overnight.
Jet lag hits hard when you’re older… 🤣

@TheMacPsych
✈️ My first day back at work since our break in Singapore. And so of course I’ve been wide awake since 3am, and now find myself in London City Airport, about to fly to Dublin for work.
Who manages my schedule?!??!
Oh. Right. 😳

@TheMacPsych
✈️ There’s no experience more likely to bring my holiday vibes crashing to earth than arriving at the soul-destroying pit that is Heathrow Airport.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
✈️ Arrived in Helsinki 45mins early after a super flight with Finnair. Now it’s time for a much neededed shower in the Finnair lounge, followed by all the coffee… ☕️
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
✈️ All boarded and settled in. Leaving Singapore shortly and heading for Helsinki with Finnair.
Looking forward toward to another lovely, relaxing flight with one of my favourite airlines. First glass of champagne in hand 🥂 See you on the other side.

@TheMacPsych
@adam Very excited. We go every year, but it's never enough! And I always seem to come back with enough notebooks and pens to equip a small school.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
📸 Enjoying some hospitality in the BA lounge at Singapore Airport. I’ve been inhaling the chicken curry and supping generously at the champagne bar. It woud be rude not to partake.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
@adam Can’t wait until my next trip to Japan, in November, so I can check out all the excellent stationery shops. They really make the best notebooks, planners and accessories.

📸 Obligatory pic of the waterfall in The Jewel, Changi Airport, Singapore. I love this airport so much!

@TheMacPsych
📸 A final selfie at the doors of the hotel as we wait on our taxi to the airport. And a wonderful goodbye from the hotel staff as we checked out. They even booked and paid for our taxi!

@TheMacPsych
📸 Enjoying my last breakfast in this hotel, while taking in the views over Singapore.
Next up: packing. We fly back to London (via Helsinki) this evening. But I’m also hoping to squeeze in a couple of hours by the pool before we check out.

@TheMacPsych
@kirk Why thank you!

@TheMacPsych
☀️ Back by the hotel pool, waiting for my post-shopping beer.

📸 Spotted in Chinatown last night. I looked, but Barbie was nowhere to be found 🤣

@TheMacPsych
☀️ The tan lines resulting from yesterday’s epic bike ride throughgh East Coast Park are something else. My arms look like I’ve been toiling in the fields… And yes, perfect lines around my ankles too 😢

@TheMacPsych
🇸🇬 Last full day here in Singapore. After a big hotel breakfast, it’s time to head to Orchard Road for some shopping.
Grateful as always for the air-conditioned MRT to get us there. 🚇
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
🍜 Heading into Chinatown to meet a local Singaporean friend for dinner. We’re absolutely ravenous!
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
♨️ A couple of hours soaking, steaming and sauna-ing in the local onsen and I feel like a new man. Now chowing down on some dim sum back at the hotel and making plans for the evening ahead.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
🚇 Anyone who’s visited will know, but one of the best things about Singapore is its public transit.
The MRT is foolproof and makes it so easy to get pretty much anywhere. Air-conditioned and scrupulously clean. I love it!
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
☕️ Enjoying breakfast from 31 floors up and planning another day in Singapore. Later: exploring Little India. Then: a soak in an onsen and dinner with friends.
I’ve been walking over 17,000 steps per day so far. Will today be the day I hit 18k? Quite possibly…

📸 Went walkabout to the Gardens by the Bay this morning. This is before I melted and wilted in the heat!

@fozstark Thanks! And I get to see it every evening 🥰

@mattypenny No, this is the view from my apartment. Looking west from Canary Wharf.

@maique Thank you 🥰

@TheMacPsych
@rscottjones No problem at all. Hope you have a fab time. It’s a great place.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
@DaveyCraney Oh yes! I actually make veggie chilli much more frequently. We’re trying to eat less red meat and this is the only temptation.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
@rscottjones I recommend a visit to the National Museum of Singapore for a great interactive and multimedia experience. Chinatown is a must also, for both the atmosphere and the food. And for relaxing, the Yunomori Onsen and Spa. Like a little slice of Japan in the heart of Singapore. Gardens by the Bay if you have time.

@TheMacPsych
@odd I use three kinds of beans. I pretty much put in whatever I like, whatever vegetables are to hand. A great way to use up veg like peppers, onions, courgettes etc.
MacPsych
@TheMacPsych
@odd Nope! It's a locked office, far away from my apartment. Also, I don't have a cat...
