成功 vs 失敗


前天去了pret a mager 偷吃 Tuna Melt Toast, 結果肚子又不舒服,可能是有太多raw wheat了。
回家之後又再焗麵包。
18小時的之後,一成功,一爆開了; 失敗原因,不明。

另外昨天去了Festival 到處逛,再吃個tea。Cajun chicken & cheddar cheese panini 好好味, 回港就沒有了。要好好計劃小店的秋季,最近老是下雨,我覺得很懶。奇在下雨,我的臉都乾得發紅。

Indie Shops in Edinburgh















There are a number of indie shops found in Edinburgh. I am surprised that how lovely and keening for both the shop keepers and the shoppers. There is only appreciation found in the shop. (No picking, bargaining or copying here, unlike Hong Kong)


which is a lovely indie shop full of designers' and handmade artists' goodies. You may found amazing prints, hand bags, accessories there. I love the wide collection of illustration works. And I am tempted to buy one, however, I have to consider my limited luggage space for my return flight to Hong Kong. In respect of copyright, I did not take photos inside the shop but only the front door.

















It is great that the Red Door Gallery operates an online store as well.

Lovely shop in Edinburgh

DemijohnDemijohn

When you are abroad, you discovered your real identity. I discovered my crave of hot food, spices and chili.

My daily life is relaxing. Wake up, make breakfast for C and myself, have a cup of tea (I am a tea drinker before coming to UK), online for while, grocery shopping, prepare dinner.

We do wonder around at weekends to discover some interesting shops nearby. Here is one of them at the Victoria Street, Edinburgh.

DemiJohn - a liquid deli
A charming shop which specializes wine, vinegar, and oil. They sourced their own brewers and farm houses for some unique products. (As long as we did not see these at Tesco and Sainsbury's) It is lovely to have your liqueur /whiskey / oliver oil / vinegar to be bottled. They have all kinds of tasteful and vintage inspired bottles for you to choose. I do like the idea that we can taste their products before purchased. And we can only buy 100ml for a trial. You can also bring back the glass bottles for next purchase for a re-fill.

We have bought a stackable bottles for oil and vinegar. They are cute to be at my kitchen and convenient as a decoration for a special dinner as well. We bought the elderflower vodka and some raspberry vinegar.
