Festina Lente!!

I have been taking "New year" holidays for 6 days. And I'm going to welcome a last day tomorrow.
These 7 days, I have spent the most luxurious time.
I drank a cup of coffee at least 4 or 5 times a day in this period.
I also milled coffee beans each time by my coffee-mill which was made by "Peujeot".

Further! I dripped it into coffee server that was made by "Hario Grass". Dripping coffee never makes me bored. During dripping time I can smell excellent aroma from coffee beans. It makes me feel at ease.

Let's take it easy !!

A late Christmas presents were delivered to me.
I was really surprised because I didn't think that anyone gives me any present.
Thanks for your mind !!
This is coffee beans that was cultivated in Republic Dominican.
It was also roasted by Mr. Uchikura who is one of the famous coffee roast meisters of the world.
I'd like to drip them at once.

I'd like to eat breakfast no matter what.
I'd also like to drink a cup of hot coffee. Especially if we're in Winter season !!

Today, I had a slice of bread, a cup of hot milk and a cup of coffee.
They certainly brought large energy to work to me. But I should had added some vegetables to them.

Do you have some hobbies?
My hobbies include taking photos, reading books, drinking coffee, eating something yummy, collecting leather goods and some cameras and lenses .

But, those are too luxurious for me. I have to cut off my expensive hobby.
Then, I have to find a real hobby which is important for me.

Probably I can find it someday, or I will look for it forever.

Four years ago, I was given a coffee mill by my precious photographers for my birthday
I had been milling coffee beans almost everyday for this  four years except this half year.

The other day, I restarted enjoying to dripped coffee.
But, my lovely coffee mill had been gradually changing to bad condition.

I should keep to maintenance for every items I own !
Without saying, after cleaning it got back in good condition.

Today's shooting spot was "Ristrante Stella Polare" in Koshigaya Lake Town.
While waiting for the bridal couple, I took photos in the actual situation as a test. 
I got many marvelous pictures.
I hadn't seen such a high quality lens　for long time .

By the way, I restarted drinking coffee at my home from today.
Owing to the huge earthquake, I stopped doing it this spring.
Then, I saved up the one hundred yen coins I used to spend a cup of coffee.
I'm going to contribute the saving to sufferers of the earthquake.

Tokyo area is suffering from violent heat and humidity for almost a month.
Also, we have to get over this catastrophic situation with sensibly.
So, we need enough to sleep, big meal, water, and sometimes, we have to enjoy playing.

Our customer and we went to "FIAT CAFE" which is near our Aoyama atelier to have lunch.
If I remember right, it was opened two or three years ago.
But, I haven't been to there till today. This opportunity is my first experience.

Anyway, we had delicious lunch and we exchanged information each other. But it wasn't on business. But, it connect us more friendly. I think so from the bottom of my heart.

This pasta contains meats and octavos. It was yummier than I expected. I ate it while listening to my customers intent story. I'm sorry about my impolitely.

Today;
It was so lovely day, doesn't it ?
The weather had been fine.
Temperature just fitted to us, and also humidity was the best refreshed !!

Spring will has been going to pass us at a moment. Summer will come soon.
The Meteorological Agency says. Probably, we'll have to suffer from a scorching sun.
And, we have to face electricity shortage from nuclear power plants accident.
From just now, we should prepare to against it, shouldn't we?

But, don't forget to maintain of your pleasure, always.
What pleasure do you have in the summer?
One of my summer's pleasure is iced coffee.

My favorite iced coffee is dripped down from this coffee-maker.
This is called "Pota", and it makes so-called "Water drip coffee".

If I wanna drink some "Water drip coffee", I have to wait for about 10 hours.
I also like that, too.
