Y fue el cumpleanos de Thomas! 5 anos ya desde que nacio un dia de otono el 17 de mayo, en la clinica La Lilas, a las 3:30 de la tarde.
Invitamos a 8 ninitos, la mayoria companeros de colegio. Hicimos una pinata de Bob Esponja, jugamos a Pongale la cola al burro, sillitas musicales, corre el anillo (version inglesa). Vinieron los abuelitos de Thomas y Sean y la fiesta se armo!
Cocinamos hamburguesas, tomamos coca cola, comimos dulces! lo pasamos del UNO!
Exactly 1 year ago Thomas , 2 suitcases and my belly, came over to the Uk fallowing a persistent dream; build the family with my ex husband.
We had nothing to start with. Some second hand furniture that his friend Chris gave a way for some money, some CDs, some cloth and ourselves with new baby on the way.
When I left Chile, I left behind the life I had with Thomas, the life I built for us on my own, with the strength of being simply a mum. I left behind a well structure home that I was putting together for 3 years, with colours every where, walls painted yellow and apple green. Orange dinning room and a bed room full of rainbow’s bubbles. The garden I planted and make grow with my own hands, flowers every where and relaxing chairs under the grape tree, eating from my very own pear, peaches or orange trees.
Every thing was there. As well as my TV, my bed, my cloth, Thomas’s toys and all the equipment for a home. Ironically, I bought every thing new several months before I left, because at that time I was not even thinking Phillip and I could possibly come back together.
I remember doing my 2 bags that I was about to bring to the Uk. One for me and one for Thomas, nothing else was allowed on the plane. I had to choose very carefully what I was going to need in the near future, I looked up the rest and it was quite sad just leave it like that.
I was 6 months pregnant when I arrived to the Uk and lucky enough, Phillip got a little house in Milton, nothing else was available at the time. We made that tiny house a home and we started from scratches, so we bought some furniture and toys for Thomas all over again… eventually, we had some things for the baby as well, things that I had in millions back in Chile. - This with out counting all we once had when we were married, but Phillip decided he did not want to keep any thing from that period so he gave it all away.
A year ago exactly we thought and give all this a try. A year ago we embraced the dream of a family… a year of so many changes for everybody, and we still are in that change, in a development, no too sure - as life is, where all this will end. J
Phillip got for my Birthday this amazing CD from Richard Ashcroft. here we go again with another clever boy from Manchester. God! how they know how to make good music.
The album seems very arround, a complete way to relax, write, create… or just watching the rain drops falling in the garden, of course, having a nice cup of tea.

the great track so far is Words just get in the way… so smooth…

I found pictures from several years ago. Those were the days were every thing was going right for me back in Chile, at least, that is what I thought. I was working for this Strategic Communication Company with another 4 fun journalists, some of them with so much experience and so many interesting things to tell… it was fun.
I was doing Public Relations and I was good at it. Talking to other journalists working in medias, getting my little articles published… sweet.
I had my Good friend Andres, now the God father of Thomas. He was finishing his Thesis and becoming in a real Lawyer! We used to do so much together.
My family was still in one piece, the old strong structure was firm despite the years with out real change. My father doing his Master degree in Education, so happy he could study again after so many years doing nothing but working as a teacher, wasting his voice away with the naughty teenagers and Greek Philosophy. He loved it though. My grand mother was just getting old, but strong enough to live through another winter. My great aunty and my nanny, how she used to like to be called, always serving to the family and being like a mother to me. Even my Dalmatian dog was barking and moving his tail full of life.
Nothing was really important back then. My salary was spent in stupidity, cloth and summer fun. The beginning of year 2000 was one of the happiest in my life. My family was all there and I met the person who was become in my true love and the father of my children.
After that summer, and after the most magical 2 weeks in Chile, I left to join Phillip in the Uk, to start a new life together. Strictly and literary a new life, with all its words. When I left, my grand mother died, then my father, then My grand aunty… even my dog…
I do not think about their death as often as I used to. I do not cry any more as I used to, I have some sadness only when I think about they could not meet my 2 children. They would have adored my 2 little gringos. My father would have gone on and on about all the historical stuff about Great Britain and the empire, and even, Margaret Thatcher! My grand mothers would had maybe, thought about my Grand father the Spanish one, who was very gringo alike: blond and blue eyed.
My new life really started in the year 2000. Then 2001 I had Thomas and since then, another story has been written in my skin. For better or for worse, all seem in the past now and I grab with all my fingers the chance of being happy with my little family.
Como tanto digo yo!? lo miro y me encanta! tan lindo con sus ojitos de uva… perrito choco…. mi rusio cagon…. lindo ….
Well, today is the day. My dear darling Phillip is 36 years old. 
He was born in Bury St. Edmunds. He lived in Suffolk for 15 years, until his parents decided to move to the South, Sussex. Where he spent another 4 years. Then he moved to Manchester on his own… but that is another story!
Little phillip… he was nice and cute. Why did u change so much! :) He was even blondy with stright hair and skinny like a daddy long legs… look at him now, Guaton and dark brown curly hair…. sh! Its not fair po!
