No the drinks aren't poisoned, spiked or intoxicating... You see whenever my lovely wife says "darling, I have an idea", I reply with "your ideas are dangerous", because most of the time she says that, it normally involves me having to do a lot of work! But, this time it was I who came up with a dangerous idea and to break the idea to Ritsuko, I took her to a nice cafe. Actually my idea didn't really involve her doing any work, it just involved me wanting to spending a insanely huge sum of money (from her point of view) on something that was a bargain (from my point of view). I'm sure all of you who are married have had similar conversations.
What the certain thing was and whether I got to buy it will be revealed in future, but on this occasion she wasn't very happy about me even asking... And I'm too nice a guy to try the forgiveness is easier than permission route...
BTW I highly recommend Holly's Cafes in Kyoto.
Note 13/02/2011: Sorry if I've not commented on anyones' photos for a while, I got caught up for two weeks with some urgent work as I was in the middle of posting the last batch which was supposed to include this PBLOG entry as well. Hopefully things have got back to normal now, but we've have mutually come up with a very dangerous idea recently that may make me very busy in a few weeks...
