Last championship with teams

9 months ago

I knew nothing about ping-pong...

And now, I know a lot more !

Also, I could meet new people:

parents of other kids, coachs, volunteers for the club.

Here are some of the parents.

I can say that 2 of them are now good new friends.

I'm glad for that.

Here are the champions less 13 years old.

With some champions less than 18 years old.

Amané played 4 simples matchs, won 3.

And played 2 doubles, and won all.

She was in the same team as usual,

with Marcu and Anael.

This team was always 2nd or 1st for each

of the 6 teams championships.

At the end of the day

Didi and Dada came to support Amané.

And our favorite team was second !

Bravo les champions !!!!

Here with all the kids from the club who participate.

And with coach Antoine,

who will leave the club...

 

Farideh

Farideh is Iranian,

she's one of my students from Beaux Arts.

Now, she's my friend !

We often go together

to the countryside for some walks

while Amané is at school.

 

Yuta's work

Yuta is going to make

3 documentaries in high mountains.

So he is preparing a lot !

Our living room

is full of his professional materials !

 

47th birthday

For my birthday,

after Amané's championship

I had a great surprise !

Some of my friends came as a surprise !

Mercé, Raph, Kublah, Maudy,

and Didi and Dada.

They took care of Amané while we went to a concert

where we met other friends !

The day after

we all joined in Maud's forest.

Thank you friends and family !!

I'm so lucky !!

 

Charente criterium championships

Amané get up so early...

She made my coffee, 

she bought some viennoiseries,

she arranged the kitchen..

And then it was a championship..

She had to play 9 matchs from 10 to 15h...

She's Charente vice champion

for her girl category.

 

Monday ping-pong

Amané will have some tournaments

the 2 next week-ends...

 

At Thomas's pound

Sunday

at Thomas's pound

near Ribérac.

Amané drove the boat

by herself.

and Yuta helped Thomas

to cut his sheeps wool

Of course,

Amané helped !

And she even could cut some wool !!

Before going back to the boat !!!

Coming back home

the teenager

fell asleep...

 

Barbecue with ping pong friends

In the afternoon

Amané put her new sun glasses

to go to her club.

Her coach and some of the best players

were playing.

They did very well !

At night

we were invited

to a barbecue by Aurélien and Anne Sophie,

some new friends of the club.

We were 4 families from

the same club

and one coach.

We came back  at 24:00...

and the fiesta was not finished yet....!!
