This was a bit of a daring one as I wasn’t sure how I’d do it with the large amounts of shading etc. but certainly worth a go I thought!

Boo to my bod
It’s been 2 weeks since my MS relapse went full blown and ended up being the worst one I’ve had. During a typical relapse like this one areas on me go numb, things on my body don’t want to operate too well, but I get by - just. However, this time I’ve been numb from my chest down (like total dentist type numb) and my legs wouldn’t hold me or feet even raise to put my undies on (who needs them anyway my best bud says!). Sitting down feels well horrid, and stairs to get to the bathroom hasn’t been fun! This has been well scary. My arms and head were still okay so I went to the hospital at the weekend for high strength steroids (500mg a day) to help slow this attack down and stop it spreading further. I’m on day 4 out of 5 and things are operating a ‘little’ bit better.
It’s really embarrassing stumbling and appearing so strange in public so I’ve not left the house much. I’ve got a large girly umbrella to disguise as a walking stick, and I’ve pulled the sleeves of my hubby’s to double the length grabbing onto him getting around. I can’t wait to get back to normal and get off my butt as I really hate this. Gee, is my eye problems not enough for me to complain about??
So, fingers crossed things improve soon and I’ll be stumbling and falling over when it’s wine and cocktails I’ve had instead! Moan over for the night, so where do you recommend I aim to get to on Friday night in Glasgow?!

Cover Versions and Other Cities!
I have Popfest in Glasgow on December 9th where I’m DJing, performing with my Rinettes and displaying/selling my art exhibition “Cover Versions and Other Hits”.
It’s very exciting to be offered an exhibition and DJing in London at the start of next year (date TBC). If the limited prints sell out in Glasgow, I may have to begin a new series of designs, even a new theme, or maybe it’ll be a mix of both. Either way, it’s something I’m very pleased to see is taking off in a really good way!

Camera Obscura
I may be having a bad relapse and not getting around much, but at least I can make the most of being on my butt by getting more of my Popfest art exhibits done!

Ah ha!

Made a big pot of soup yesterday. Goodness knows what you call it! carrot, lentils, split peas, parsnip, ginger, garlic, chilli, spinach, tomato and black pepper! Damn nice though!

B-52’s
It took 2 weeks but at long last another addition to my Popfest exhibition. Next one has to be a band with less than 5 members for sure! Le Tigre I was thinking!

Manda Rin and The Rinettes gig!
Can’t believe that after my past year of hospital hell that I’m announcing a solo gig! Well, my attempt at one :) Popfest is the 3 day Festival in Glasgow that will be showcasing my Art Exhibition “Cover Versions and Other Hits” in Heavenly at Cafe Cosmo at the GFT. I will be DJing on Friday 9th December at Heavenly for it, but……now I will also be performing a mini gig with my Rinettes. Scary but incredibly exciting! There are many great bands playing so well worth getting along to!
