Thank you for the kind messages. Still wobbly, but on the mend.

[2greys]

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".

[Katinka46]

Glad that things are improving. Just take it slowly. Silly me, I don’t think you have any choice in the matter. Good to read your shaggy dog tale.K xx

[peege]

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

[TeaToasty in reply to peege]

I had vertigo some time ago, and tried the maneuvers, and was very surprised how well it worked!

[deni-123red_]

[B0xermad]

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

[Aingeful]

[Alberta56]

That made me laugh.😀😂🤣 So glad that you are on the mend. Take it easy, except for keeping the jokes coming. xxx

[watergazer]

🤣 pleased you are feeling better than before x

[Shirleyj]

Oh that was good 👍. Hope you feel better soon x

[Mavary]

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.

[Beachballs]

Glad to hear that you are improving, take care , warmest wishes .

[Alberta56]

Just told the joke to my family, who both loved it.

[Thepainterswife]

😂🤣😂

[HollyBoyd]

Good one 2greys, also to know you are on the mend🙂 xxx

[ninelives]

Glad to hear that you are improving.

[Izb1]

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

[Artistonboard1943]

I’m glad you are feeling better 2greys and thanks for the joke it made me laugh. Sending you a virtual hug 🤗 .Take care. Lucy.

[PhilGM]

Glad to hear you are recovering 2greys! Oh to hear the words “do you fancy a pint”!

[Dilly2]

Love the jokes. Keep em coming 😂🤣x
