First time NATIONALE 2


She left from Friday afternoon
and came back Sunday night.
She went 3 hours south of our city
with one of her coach,
Noam (11y old), Dinaly and Samuel (16 y old).
They were 4 players of the club 
participating in table tennis Nationale 2 contest. 


They stayed 2 nights at hotel.
Amané won 3 matches on 8.
Coach and other players were proud of her:
she fought well because
 she played against girls
 who have 15 hours of training per week
 and who have been playing for 3 or 4 years.
Amané is training 5 h a week
and she started table tennis
in september...!!







She therefore remains selected
 in National for next year,
 while, as a mummy, I thought that returning 
to regional was not a problem at all...
less far, less time........!!!!!!!!!!!!
But good job Amané !
We're all proud of you !

She will be really tough
all week-end
so she had to learn 
her lessons
and do her homework
a lot tonight !

MAUS and Russian's war in Ukraine

There's war in Ukraine since 3 weeks now.
Russia had invaded this democratic country.

Amané knows a really few about it:
I rather like her staying 
a little carefree, 
preserving a little more childhood
from this hard adults world.

But today she picked up 
at her junior high library
the comics MAUS...!

The comic which changed definitely
the history and meaning of comics.
The comic which tells us the horror 
of the Second World War 
and the extermination of the Jews.

Last week some US States
 censored this 1980 comic.
Our daughter is almost 12 years old 
and she is already interested in 
the hard world of adults
despite I try to protect her from it... !!!!!!!!

At the same time I'm proud of
her thirst for culture, 
thirst for understanding,
 eager to know.

Because of 2 Japanese grand fathers

Even after a full Sunday of 
playing table tennis
monday, after school,
there's the special training...
and she never wants to miss it !
We learned by Jiji Nobuya
and Baba Hitomi,
that the 2 Japanese grand fathers of Amané
played table tennis.
Her cousin Kantaro
played also.

Other Team Championship

This month, 
during 3 week-ends there are ping pong contests.
An other team one,
near Angoulême.
Kids have fun together.
They are not together just for sport
or competition,
there's a good spirit of friendship and having fun together
and I like that.



Amané will play 3 teams
with 2 other players of her club:
Marcu and Anaël, same age.
They played each one 2 doubles and 4 simples.


In the afternoon
Didi and Dada came to encourage her !
Merci Didi Dada !!


Amané was not satisfied of her efforts
but her team finished 1rst ex aequo with 
an other team of the 1rst division !
Congratulations !!!



End of the day is difficult...!
Going to bath for shower and shampoo
is too much effort....!!!!!!!!!

The cube !

Amané could achieve the classic one,
but now, she can do a more complicated one !
Present from Ced and Gaellou !

At home, when I hear nothing,
if she's not reading,
she's playing with it...

Music in the blood???

I don't understand
and I'm really surprised...
When I Was a 11 y old teenager
I loved a singer called Goldman.
Amané asked me a playlist of this singer...
Listening and singing all the time !!
