本日は将棋で好カードが目白押しでした。
西山朋佳女王が防衛に王手をかけていたマイナビ女子オープン,
里見女流四冠が星一つ返しました。里見女流四冠は今週,ヒューリック杯清麗戦で,
現在進行中の女流王位戦は1勝1敗ですが,清麗戦はどのような決着を
見るのでしょうか?
ATPのゴファンvsバブリンカ戦を途中から観戦して,終了後,
シュワルツマンvs西岡戦に切り替えました。西岡選手,ストレート負けでした。
ローマのコートは,マドリッドほど,球速が速くないので,ここが,
本当のローランギャロスの前哨戦といっていいでしょう。

Belling the Cat
It is one thing to say that something should be done,
but quite a different matter to do it.
There lived many mice in a grocer's shop. They ate plenty of grains and the grocer suffered
heavy loss. So, he brought a fat cat to catch the mice. The mice were worried.
They held a meeting to drive away the cat. A smart-looking mouse suggested that
the cat moved softly and swiftly. They decided to tie a bell round its neck.
So that when the cat moves, the mice would become aware of the cat.
All the mice agreed to this decision.
The old mouse said, “Can you tell me who is to bell the cat?”
There was no reply. Their decision is not yet executed.
有言実行
to back up one's boastful talk with meaningful actions.
