Lattissima

ATTENTION; The link above is a little bit heavy. It may take time to see the site.

A new nespresso machine debuts recently in France or somewhere else.
By using the Lattissima, just pushing a button makes a cup of cuppuccino.
It has a milk container, and you can keep this in a fridge.
So you don't have to care for milk much.

I love espresso because I love cuppuccino.
But it takes a little longer time to make a cup of cuppuccino.
So I rarely make a cup of cuppuccino.

If it makes it easier, I can enjoy a life with cuppuccino with quite little effort.
So I'm longing to wait for their selling this machine in Japan.

Order a leather jacket

I have worn a leather jacket which my father gave to me over ten years.

But its zipper got broken and it has a couple of holes.
I have to fix it or buy new one. But I don't know where to bring it.
I decided to renew it.

And today, I ordered a new jacket for motorcycles.
You can see its original jacket, RR-96 made by RSA, on this site.

First of all, I change the color of leather.
Motorcycle jackets tend to be black.
But I want my jacket to be a pale color, that is, beige, tan or natural color.
So I asked them to use camel color.

Secondly, I get rid of two big pockets and put smaller pockets instead.
And the jacket looks more simple compared to original one.

Thirdly, I replace one of the buttons on the collar with a loop.
Inside of the collar is altered into black as an accent.

And there are a couple of minor changes,
say altering Velcros on the cuffs into buttons and
putting a dark brown RSA logo on the left shoulder and more.

I'm looking forward to this jacket coming in early October.

1st class

I got so nervous before the first class for unlimited motorcycle license.


First of all, I'm not good at driving.
Even my smaller motorcycle is hard to handle,
in a case like that I have to turn around quickly.
Still I have to get the license, I have to overcome.

The class began with my pushing a motorcycle around the course.
The motorbike was much heavier than my own.
It was hard to handle.
Even though, all I needed was just pay more attention.

I was afraid that my career of having been riding the motorbike would cause a trouble.
Maybe I have acquired bad habits that cause bad score in the examination to get the license.

But the most difficult thing that I had to do was to stand a lying motorcycle.
It was heavy, heavy, heavy and heavy.

First, I tried to stand it putting my legs under the machine and using my legs and waist.
But I failed. It was too heavy. I tried again and failed again.

If I can't stand it, I may have to give up the whole class.
Then I tried again using my muscle of back and waist.
Though I was afraid of damaging my waist,
but I was able to stand it somehow.

My 1st class went well.
And all other classes also isn't much hard,
I was able to get the license.
