第222回TOEIC L&Rテストの受験票が届きました。またもや会場は，
ラオニッチvsズベレフ戦もなかなかの好試合でした。ズベレフ選手は
第４セット，タイブレークには持ち込みたかったところでした。
女子のハレプvsアザレンカ戦も最後はスコアが開いてしまいましたが，
なかなかの好勝負でした。
本日は男子の残り試合，ジョコビッチ選手が勝ちましたが，首から肩にかけて，
痛そうだったのですが，明日のベルディヒ戦，頑張って欲しいところですわ。
雨が止んだようで，しっかりスケジュールが消化されるといいのですが。。。
Fire TV Stickは午前中に届きまして，昼食を挟んで，色々いじっていたら，
あっと言う間に，午後４時過ぎになっていました。orz
USA TODAY SPORTSがうちの環境では駄目ですわ。orz

こんなこと書いてあったんだといかに昔，適当に読んでいたのかを認識させられました。

One day the parrot saw a bald-headed man passing the shop,
and recovering its speech, it cried out, “Pray, whose oil-jar did you upset?”

with age with the loss of its own feathers due to a blow.
