英検1級1次試験まであと9日

back to or toward a former state or condition
Good farming practices were needed to bring the field back (to
good condition). [=to restore the fields]

逝ってしまったと思われていたラップトップPCがもう一晩明けたら,
復活しました。日時を設定し直しただけで大丈夫でした。ありがたいですわ。

昨日のATPテニスのジュネーブ,錦織vsアンダーソン戦,いつものことながら,
理解しがたいアンダーソン選手のチキンハートぶりに驚きます。準決勝は,
残念ながら,ズベレフ(兄)選手に負けてしまいました。
なお,全仏オープンは,第8シードの錦織選手と第9シードのズベレフ(弟)選手が
4回戦であたる,観戦する立場からはなかなか期待が持てるドローですわ。
ATP FINALSは日本企業のNittoの冠大会になるので,ロンドンへの切符を取るために,
そろそろ大きくポイントを取って欲しいところですわ。
