Lying in bed, eyes closed, the mind wanders. I recall buying my daughter, when she was a toddler, a "Clatterpillar" a line of red and blue globes with a leg and foot each side, the globes connected together with a single strand of nylon. Pulled along by a string.
This further prompted the memory of a Joke.....................
A man, living on his own, decides to get a pet for company. He goes off to the pet shop, a huge selection to choose from, rabbits, cats, dogs, and fish. He goes to the back of the shop where the exotic pets were kept, the likes of snakes, lizards and parrots.
All alone on a shelf there is a glass cage marked up as a "Talking Centipede," marked up at £5,000. That was a lot of money he mused but on reflection worth it to be able to have a conversation. It was packed up in a box with straw for padding, handed over the money and made his way home.
On arrival home he wanted to show off his new pet to his mates at the pub, he opened the box and said
"Do you fancy a pint?"
No answer so he said again
"Do you fancy a pint?"
To which, again, there was no reply, so he shouted
"Do you fancy a pint?"
A voice piped up, in an annoyed tone
"I heard you the first time, will you sodding well wait. I'm putting my shoes on".

Very funny 2greys 🤣. Im glad you're feeling better enough to post and update.I'm wondering if you've tried the Epley Manoeuvre? I used to be diagnosed with vertigo however, a new GP did some tests and told me its not vertigo or menieres but right sided vestibular disease. He showed me a manoeuvre which I promptly forgot so I found a suitable youtube clip. Its amazing, worth a try? P
Funnily enough, I was just thinking of you! Great to hear you are improving Love the joke, made me smile. I remember the Clatterpiller, and the din it made on our wooden floors!!Get proper better soon 2Gs xx
Haha! Like it! All four of my children enjoyed the clatterpillar and it was one the few that survived to live another day and loved by my six grand- children as well, although by the end of their play with it, one of its legs fell off!
Hi 2greys I hope you feel better soon and thank you for the picture it brings me memories of my 1st baby who had one of those toys, and for the joke too even though you are poorly you still have a good sense of humor. Best wishes
Ha! ha! I’m glad you are feeling better now. I occasionally suffer with vertigo but usually for only a few hours. It’s a horrible feeling. I don’t know about you but I don’t travel very well unless I’m driving. And! As for roundabouts I’ve never liked them since I was a little girl. I can’t even watch them for long if my Grandchildren are on them. I loved the look of them when I was a child but I was always the one on the side.
So glad to hear you are on the mend 2g , its a horrid, horrid problem. I suffer from labrynthitis and my worst attack left me with problems for 4 years and damaged my right eye and hearing. If I feel anything coming on I take a tablet straight away and if at home go to bed. I hope your recovery leaves no lasting damage and you get back to normal quickly x
