I already told you that we didn’t make it to the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona in spring. Last year, we met friends from Munich there and shared a nice time. They went again this year and were so kind to gift Nadine the annual festival mug afterwards. She is now using it for drinking her homeopathic calendula tea on a daily basis.

Until a short time ago, we were hoping to visit the Primavera Club Festival instead. This is a smaller version of the festival that takes place in several venues in the city center end of October. There you can see a handful of newcomer bands each evening for three days in a relaxed an non-crowded atmosphere.  But Nadine’s breakdown spoiled this plan too.

Even though her doctor allowed us to do whatever we want to do, there isn’t much sense to the idea right now. Medically speaking, Nadine is suffering from a proximal paresis in her left leg, which makes a city trip impossible. She is walking stiff, unbalanced and insecure with hills and stairs being almost insurmountable obstacles. The origin ist still unknown, but the doctors in the Katharinenhospital do not relate it to the problems in her head. Next week, we’re trying to get hold of the results from the test of her nerve liquor and will go and see her family doctor.
