Thanks, all, for such lovely messages! Ascot was fantastic and, as usual, they picked the best day - the sun was out and not a rain cloud in sight! Managed to lose on the first couple of races but managed to win on race four, which meant I clawed it back and then some! Glad you did well, Laura!
Was totally off plan, what with the alcohol. The minute you turn your head there's someone topping up your glass so, in all honesty, I haven't a clue as to how much I drank. It was quite a bit, but at 3pm I switched over to water. Not that it would've made much of a difference having started at 11 with a Pimms breakfast
but it did negate the sore head! Food-wise I wasn't bad - I ate the lamb and vegetables, bypassed the mash and bread roll and had grapes and apple from the cheese platter.
Had a lovely weekend in the Derbyshire countryside and, although the drive back was horrific, (M1, M25, both SUCK) I had such a good time. Seabass and vegetables for supper, along with 3 glasses of wine (I know! Anyone interested in undoing their hard work by means of alcohol, let me know) and totally ruined my healthy breakfast (fruit salad) with 3 slices of toast which, I'm sure, will not have been remotely worked off by the walking. I haven't had 'proper' bread in months, so don't feel bad about it. I am, however, slightly worried about WI this evening. I think I may have to take the hit.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
