FEDCUP 2016

Hello there,

I'm still here, and guess about what i'm gonna talk about : TENNIS!!

First of all, I'm gonna introduce to you what is Fedcup, so that's an international team competition in women's tennis, where a team play against another team.

So, this weekend I went to the Palais des Sports to watch our beautiful team that we have!
French was playing against Italia these two days.

On the first day, the score was 1-1, one match won by Italia, one by France.

On this sunday... that was amazing!!

Kristina Mladenovic helps her country to lead : 2-1. 

Then... that was still amazing!! 

Caroline Garcia qualifies her team for the semis : 3-1. 

Finally, they played the double.. just for fun? Amazing! 

France is having fun : 4-1. Score : 6/0, 6/1.

This weekend was just.. amazing?? Now, France is in semifinals and will play Netherlands! 

Allez les bleus, as they were saying and as they're still saying in my head...

Bye Charlie, 

Manon :) 

A sort of gratefulness...

What happened 3 days ago is very sad, and since Raphaël and Loïc have already talked about what happened and no need explaining more or adding anything.

But I just wanted to share this, yesterday I was watching the news about what happened yesterday again ( the police woman's death) and all the Charlie Hebdo thing...The  brother of the police officer that was protecting Charb said something that really touched me. He said '' As police men we are doing an extremely dangerous word and I just want to tell my companions to enjoy every moment with their families because at any moment any thing can happen '' it may seem casual and usual to some but that really touched me. As in a manner of respecting and appreciating the work cops do, they are not the most loved people in the world (because of their job) but I just want to say we should be really thankful and grateful to have them. Sometimes we underestimate them, juge them , but they are just doing their work. And I just wanted to add that, that doesn't mean I didn't respect them before but never It came in my mind to think how extremely dangerous their work was ( The cop killed in Paris (the Wednesday event) was shot because he told people not to come out...) this shows how some people are so loyal to their work even in their dying state... (may his soul rest in peace). 

As I publishing this now 3 cops were seriously injured during the assault and more people died ( 4 or 5 for now and I hope that no one dies anymore).
