Whizzed through check-in and now sitting at the Ascot lounge (note to myself...... DO NOT USE THIS LOUNGE AGAIN! You have to server up your own drinks and there's not a good variety of options.

My DOS man helps himself to a Bloody Mary and settles down to surf the net. I'm off to see what else is in offer to drink and eat then I'll settle down to read the free Hello magazine
