The Final Day Of My Tennis Club Has Come.

I have been playing tennis two to three times a week for twelve years on the top of a building. But, the tennis courts are going to be closed in the end of this month due to lack of members.

It is said that Japanese economy hit the bottom and is now on the way of recovering. Do you think it is recovering? I doubt it.

The close of the tennis courts shocked me and other members very much. My tennis coach will be laid off in three days and have to find a new job. I guess finding a new job at his age is not easy. So, I can’t help sympathizing him.

I’m now thinking to take a rest of playing tennis for a couple of weeks and start a tennis-club-hunting in the middle of April.

Perhaps, playing tennis in the new place with new members could be fun to me in a sense.

Clear Sky in Igashira Park

There are two tennis-club tournaments in Mohka city annually. Rina, Hiroto, Hikaru, Takeru and I attended the autumn tournament both today and one week ago on Sundays.

It was a very fine day today. I enjoyed playing tennis and seeing autumn scenery around Igashira Park where the tournament was held.

Result of the tournament of our team was not good, but I spent precious time with my club members. I could completely forget about my busy daily work while I was staying the park.

To tell the truth, the project of my work is now on the final phase. We are very busy this October. Some of my colleagues, rather younger workers, had to work today even on Sunday.
After coming back from Igashira Park, I called my colleagues to ask if the work was going well.

Contrary to the result of the tournament, the work of my project seemed to be going well.
