The Plucker is a fairy tale about toys´ loyalty and it´s a step forward regarding to Toy Story; The Plucker goes where Toy Story doesn´t dare. Brom tells the story of Jack, a Jack-in-the-box toy, just a forgotten toy, who doesn´t hesitate in going to rescue his owner Thomas when Thomas’ soul is kept by Nigerian doll. This doll has trapped an evil spirit inside, The Plucker (because he plucks the eyes of his victims).

This is the first illustrated novel by Brom and I enjoyed it a lot. It´s visually stunning and the story is engaging: a really page-turner. It´s darker, wicker and more disturbing than Tory Story. I highly recommend it. I´m looking forward to reading his other works: Devil´s Rose y The Child Thief.

Although I was told that it could be a movie soon, I didn´t hear anything else about it; however, I know that it was adapted for a stage play.

“Nothing else matters” by Apocalyptica was the soundtrack of our “I will” last week in Belfast.

We already have date for our wedding: 13th February in Belfast City Hall. I can´t understand why we should go to another country to getting married but this is the way it´s. Unbeliable! By the way, should I start thinking about any dress? I should?

From now on, Ireland doesn´tt recognize any marriage done in consulates and I can´t find any reason for it (in any official website). So, our Embassy, we can´t never stop highly speaking of it, has cancelled our wedding. So, now we should consider other options to get married (in Spain and wait for 6 months, in Ireland and wait for 4 months, run away to Belfast, …).

I can´t get over my surprise. If someone knows the reason about this “reasonable” law, please let me know. We will keep you informed.

From today on, I’ve been living in Ireland for four year and this last one flew away like bat out of hell. Maybe it’s the time of my life that makes everything goes by quickly. However, it has been a very profitable year in terms of working and preparation. If I came here searching for a good quility of living, I’m certain that when I won’t have it here, I will searching somewhere else for sure.

I don’t know how long I will be here or if my leaving will be out of blue. Nevertheless, it’s right time to bet strongly for Canada and I hope it will come out fine (not matter if we will move to there or not). I know in the bottom of my heart that if I don’t try it now, I won’t do it because of my age. Time goes by quickly. Not t mention that without my stay in Irelan, I couldn’t even think to try anything like Canada. This country has given me many chances to be capable to jump somewhere else (well, we know that we do our own luck) but I must be grateful for all the chances specially to live together with my partner and start a new life together.

I have a lot of thing to be grateful of but sometimes I forget them.
