First Lounge never fails to please - not too busy today, and food was top quality as normal. I had the Thai Chicken Curry with rice, but they had the pork and red cabbage again (which is also really nice with crackling).

Got through security in 5 mins - no big deal and no real queue. Had a quick Skype via mobile with Vick and then waited patiently for boarding my new flight back to LHR.

I had about an hour at LCY before my flight to AMS. In planning the itinerary I had included about 4 hours contingency at AMS before picking up my BA Avios return trip back to the UK.
