Jenny was back from Japan, so we met up with her in Edinbrugh for a day of fun and cock-of-tails. She told us lots of stories about Japan, which has convinced us to go and visit at some point next year. Our first stop of the day was our favorite pub, the Jekyll & Hyde.
Jenny was impressed by the toilets, which are hidden behind a bookcase. The only problem is that they’re not marked with Male or Female, so it’s a pot-luck to which you end up in. For your records: Male to the right, Female to the left!
She brought us loads of goodies from Japan including crazy flavoured KitKats (ginger ale, sweet potato pie, caramel pudding & royal milk tea), koala bear cookie bath bombs, packets of odd sushi, a keyring, a shinkansen (bullet train) Christmas card and a little train girl figurine (who Jenny translated for us was trying her best at her job and is a female station employee). I gave her the awesome Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo book, because she can go and see them all.
We worked our way through the sin cocktail menu and the barman was impressed with the amount we had drank for 1 o’clock in the day time. Calum and Harriet joined us briefly for a drink and it was nice to see them.
We then headed to the Jekyl & Hyde pub for the Seven Deadly Sin cocktails and shots in test tubes.
Jenny brought us some amazing presents from Japan including a crazy glitzy mag and macaroon keyrings for me and a paper Shikansen train model book and KitKat filled Shikansen for Tom.
We gave her a macaroon recipe book, a macaroon keyring that I’d made an an awesome music note necklace from Tatty Devine. She was also wearing the top I made for her birthday too!
We had burgers and I was glad I went for the veggie one because Jenny and Tom couldn't finish their meaty ones.
