Oh heck, what did I want to say? It'll come back, probably just after my credit's run out. Anyway, the following came to mind when, after purchasing my very own copy of Laura Cantrell's beautiful beautiful album 'Not the Tremblin' Kind' (ooh! Country Nouvelle!) for a criminal #3.99 in the nasty little Impulse shop at Luton airport, I was listening to it on a poxy EasyJet flight (my own row of seats at the back) to Paris a couple of weeks ago, gasping at the lurid orange glow reflected in the windows off the 'plane's cutprice wings and eyes watering from the recycled air. I think it's kind of relevant given the degree of peripateticism indulged in by spinisters. Shifty folk given to continent-hopping we certainly are. I think air travel encourages emotional openness. Maybe it's simply the stress of airports etc coupled with tiredness and uncomfortable surroundings (explaining the cushioned smugness of Business Classers),but possibly the act of rising at inhuman velocities through changing atmospheric pressures and conditions results in a slightly altered chemical balance in the body. Clouds seen from above are quite as trite as when planted firmly on solid ground, even or particularly when bathed in smoggy sunset, but there is an ineffable difference in the experience. It broadens the mind, they say.
